AID Recognizes Need To Improve

The Foreign Economic Assistance

Planning And Programming Process


The Agency for International Development's plan-
ning and programming process for foreign eco-
nomic assistance includes the preparation and
review of recipient country development strat-
egies, the formulation of annual budgets, and the
review and approval of project activities. AID is
currently experimenting with new procedures in
an effort to improve this important process.

GAO examines AID's management of the plan-
ning and programming process and discusses
actions that could help to better focus country
assistance programs. GAO recommends that coun-
try strategies not be submitted annually unless
conditions change, necessitating revision; more
effective program reviews be conducted in con-
cert with budget formulation; and further project
approval authority be granted to overseas mis-
sions on a case-by-case basis, recognizing vary-
ing mission capabilities.
