In September 1998, State expanded its capital construction program to accelerate replacing its most vulnerable embassies and consulates by acquiring sites and preparing plans at 10 priority locations. This report summarizes (1) the status of the 10 priority embassy and consulate construction projects, and (2) State's plans for the overall construction program. As of November 2000, seven projects are in the construction phase. The remaining three projects are on hold pending agreement between State and Congress about the Department's construction proposals. Although State envisions a long-term, multi-billion dollar program and has ranked more than 180 facilities it may need to replace, it has not prepared a long-term capital construction plan that identifies (1) proposed construction project's cost estimates and schedules, and (2) estimated annual funding requirements for the overall program. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-11/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-11.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-11/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-11.pdf GAO-01-11 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-11 Letter Report GAO-01-11; Embassy Construction: Better Long-term Planning Will; Construction costs Government facility construction Strategic planning Embassies Future budget projections Facility security Terrorism Kampala (Uganda) Doha (Qatar) Tunis (Tunisia) Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) Nairobi (Kenya) Istanbul (Turkey) Zagreb (Croatia) Sao Paulo (Brazil) Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Luanda (Angola)
