Since proj requirements for the building were less than planned & rental facilities were greater than planned, Audit concludes that additional AID financial support is not required. Recommends that RED consider AID-financed construction only when programs actually materialize (staffs, classes, scholarships, research) and when continued use of alternative facilities are not feasible. Other specific recommendations include establishment of a systematic program of
