Highlights

Administrative problems directly hamper effective efforts by the Agency for International Development (AID) to program, monitor, and evaluate AID training activities for people from developing countries. The training program is under the planning, direction, and implementation of the Office of International Training in the Development Support Bureau. The Office of International Training is unable to provide current or complete information on the number of participants being trained, participants' U.S. arrivals and departures, occupation of participants who returned home, and contractors supplying the participants with training or related services. Many questions have been raised about the adequacy of participant training management and recordkeeping.
