In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the National
Endowment for Democracy's procedures for selecting, monitoring, and
evaluating its grantee programs. GAO found that the Endowment: (1)
relied on its grantees to select, monitor, and evaluate their own
programs in 1984 and 1985; (2) did not implement a comprehensive
planning process or develop an overall plan reflecting its
priorities in terms of geographic areas or project types, thereby
limiting its selection process to funding projects that its
grantees developed and submitted; (3) did little independent
verification of financial and other program information; and (4)
evaluated only a few projects during the first 2 years of
operation, since they were the only projects that were completed by
then. GAO noted that in March 1986, the Endowment approved a policy
statement clarifying its responsibilities for oversight of
appropriated funds and defining its relationship with grantees.
