Description

For over 60 years, the U.S. has provided assistance to food-insecure countries primarily in the form of food commodities procured in the U.S. and transported overseas. In recent years, the U.S. has joined other major donors in increasingly providing food assistance in the form of cash or vouchers. In FY 2014, U.S.-funded cash and voucher projects in 28 countries totaled about $410 million, the majority of which was for the Syria crisis, making the U.S. the largest single donor of cash-based food assistance. This report (1) reviews the U.S. Agency for International Developmentäó»s (USAIDäó»s) processes for awarding and modifying cash-based food assistance projects; and (2) assesses the extent to which USAID and its implementing partners have implemented financial controls to help ensure appropriate oversight of such projects. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
