State and USAID were responsible for managing $33.7 billion in foreign assistance funds in fiscal year 2018. Section 653(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 mandates the President to report to Congress, on an annual basis, funding allocations by foreign country and category of assistance within 30 days of Congress appropriating certain funds. State, in coordination with USAID, makes decisions on how to allocate the funds, taking into consideration congressional instructions, the administration’s priorities, and country-specific foreign assistance needs. This report examines (1) the extent to which State met the mandates under Section 653(a) for fiscal years 2015 through 2018 and (2) factors that affected State’s ability to address the mandates. GAO is making three recommendations to State: (1) conduct a systematic review of the Section 653(a) process to identify inefficiencies and determine the amount of time needed to prepare the Section 653(a) report, and if it exceeds 30 days, request that Congress extend the mandated time frame; (2) improve data collection; and (3) develop a plan to address staff vacancies, in consultation with USAID as appropriate.
