Summary:

The Agency for International Development (AID) is at a critical juncture in its 30-year history. Even as AID is undertaking new, ambitious initiatives, like providing assistance to the former Soviet Union, it has come under increasing scrutiny because of concerns that its management of the current foreign aid program has been poor. Moreover, the Soviet threat that once was the glue for political and popular support of foreign aid has disappeared, and what resources AID will have to draw on during this era of tight federal budgets is unclear. This broad-based evaluation of AID's management examines whether the agency has (1) effectively coped with the rapid expansion of its responsibilities, (2) established effective management controls over its decentralized operations, and (3) adequately managed its human resources.
