USAID funds PIOs through other transaction authority (OTA), a unique power afforded through the Foreign Assistance Act.1 USAID’s other transactions are unlike contracts and grants and offer more flexibility to the Agency since OTA is generally not subject to Federal laws and regulations such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Consequently, USAID developed its own policies and award provisions, primarily outlined in Automated Directives System (ADS) 308, which sets monitoring and reporting procedures, including pre- and post-award due diligence mechanisms to govern its work with PIOs. As a result of our recommendations, USAID made significant revisions to strengthen ADS 308, including requirements to promptly disclose credible allegations of fraud, corruption, and sexual exploitation and abuse.
