Evaluates project to develop institutional capabilities within the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) to plan and implement agricultural development systems (ADS's). Audit report covers the period 1/79-3/83 and is based on document review and site visits. Due to inadequate management and performance by the contractor, the University of California (UC), the objective of institutionalizing a system for upgrading the MOA and integrating its capabilities has not been met. Technical achievements such as increasing tomato production, testing plant materials on a large scale, producing scientific publications, and conducting policy workshops - and even the collaboration developed between MOA professionals and local university scientists - do not, USAID/E comments to the contrary notwithstanding, outweigh this failure. UC set examples of waste, inefficiency, and abuse that filtered down to Egyptian personnel to such a degree that there was a breakdown in the management of project funds. UC failed to account for LE 387,968 of A.I.D. advances, to document disposition of LE 68,955 in subadvances as of 3/31/83, and to justify $155,270 of claimed airfares and $82,338 of per diems. These

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
