Description

Grants are key tools that the State Department (State) uses to conduct foreign assistance. In FY 2012, State obligated over $1.6 billion worldwide for around 14,000 grants to individuals and organizations for a variety of purposes, such as fostering cultural exchange and facilitating refugee resettlement. However, recent GAO and Inspectors General reports have identified challenges with State's management of these funds. This report examines (1) the policies and guidance that State has established to administer and oversee grants; and (2) the extent to which the implementation of those policies and guidance provides reasonable assurance that funds are being used as intended.Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
