GAO Says U S Not Getting Enough World Bank Data
The GAO warns the United States, a major World Bank funder, lacks sufficient information to judge fund use. It urges an independent review body answerable to the bank's board of executive directors and notes improvements in information flow are not yet enough. The treasury cites a new evaluation group but disagrees with some GAO conclusions. The World Bank and IDA, backed by U.S. funds, play key roles in development lending. GAO cites U.S. subscription amounts and the advisory council as existing oversight efforts.
