The offices of inspectors general (OIGs) of the U.S. Department of State (State), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Peace Corps have jointly developed a Fiscal Year 2024 Inspectors General Coordinated Oversight Plan for Foreign Assistance To Combat HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in order to avoid duplication of efforts, identify gaps in oversight, and ensure oversight efforts are comprehensive, relevant, and timely.
The plan outlines ongoing PEPFAR oversight work initiated in the prior year as well as new work each OIG plans to undertake in FY 2024. The plan includes two coordinated audits, one for USAID and HHS OIG to examine controls over reprogramming of PEPFAR funds for COVID-19 and another for USAID and HHS OIG to examine PEPFAR’s engagement with civil society organizations in annual planning, community-led monitoring, and COVID-19 response. While each OIG conducts its work independently, the collective oversight of cross-cutting issues is intended to provide greater insight and utility for Congress and key stakeholders.
