Major Management & Performance Challenges

Each year, in accordance with the Reports Consolidation Act of 2000, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) identifies the most significant management and performance challenges facing the Department of State (Department) and U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM). OIG identifies challenges by taking a qualitative and holistic view of our body of oversight work, giving particular weight to common issues that appear to affect the Department or USAGM systemically. OIG evaluates progress primarily through our compliance process, which tracks and assesses Department and USAGM efforts to implement corrective actions related to OIG recommendations.
