USAID’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) initiated an investigation following an anonymous complaint alleging a senior Agency official working overseas improperly used office staff and government-owned vehicles for non-official travel in potential violation of USAID policies.
OIG’s investigation found evidence that the official’s use of USAID staff and government-owned vehicles was authorized but not properly documented. The investigation also identified deficiencies in administration and records management procedures, which did not comply with USAID policies.

OIG reminds personnel and implementing partners to continue reporting allegations of misconduct to OIG’s Hotline, consistent with award requirements and other legal obligations.
