Highlights

Certain issues relating to a rural water systems and environmental sanitation project in Peru were brought to the attention of the Agency for International Development (AID) because remedial action could be taken.

Recommendations

Recommendations for Executive Action

Agency Affected Recommendation Status
U.S. Agency for International Development The AID Administrator should direct the Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean's Pipeline Review Committee to closely monitor this project. If significant progress is not achieved by the end of 1983, the $5.5 million authorized by the amendment should be immediately deobligated and the project reduced to a scope which can be effectively managed by Peru. The accelerated implementation plan for 1983 should be the criterion to measure the progress of all components of the project.
Closed – Implemented
In November 1983, the AID Pipeline Review Committee determined that sufficient progress had been made since the GAO report to justify continuing the project at the authorized level of funding.
