Multilateral Assistance: U.S. Participation in FAO's Technical
Cooperation Program (Testimony, 09/23/93, GAO/T-NSIAD-93-23).

The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), a UN agency, seeks to
improve agricultural, fishery, and forestry practices around the globe.
The Technical Cooperation Program was created in 1976 to finance
projects in developing countries at the request of their governments.
Project staff advise governments, train local officials, prepare
investment proposals, and assist in emergencies. This testimony
discusses (1) the degree to which FAO has conformed to its established
criteria in selecting Technical Cooperation Program projects, (2) FAO's
management of the program, and (3) the role of FAO's governing bodies
and the United States in overseeing the program and following up on
auditor recommendations.
