The USAID Office of Inspector General (OIG) is initiating a review to identify lessons learned from our prior oversight of USAID’s third-party monitoring practices. Over the years, OIG has generated a significant body of work that has identified the beneficial role third-party monitors can play in tracking and verifying program data and results. We have also reported on shortcomings in administering third-party monitoring contracts and using this tool effectively to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse, including the diversion of U.S. foreign assistance to hostile entities.
