The U.S. Agency for International Development’s Office of the Inspector General has been conducting an investigation into International Relief and Development, one of USAID’s largest implementing partners, for “months,” according to a well-placed government source.
The source, which was not authorized to speak on the record, told Devex that the OIG is not looking into any “specific” issue or allegation, but is reviewing “everything” about the organization’s conduct and its use of U.S. government funding.
According to the source, the USAID watchdog has pulled all of the audits conducted on IRD programs from the last five or six years to aid its work.
