U.S Auditors in Town, but…

A team from the United States Agency for International Development or USAID is in Liberia to conduct a routine performance audit of grants made by the U.S. Government, through the USAID Ebola Disaster Assistance Response Team, to non-governmental partners for the Ebola response.

 A U.S Embassy statement issued last Friday said such audits are routine and conducted periodically to monitor and evaluate our programs in the field and to make recommendations on program quality.

The Embassy, however, indicated that this is not a financial investigation, and the team’s visit has no relation whatsoever to the Government of Liberia’s actions for the Ebola response.
