Recommendation Contents
OIG recommends that the Office of Global Partnerships enhance existing training related to public-private partnerships (PPP) to include specific examples of Department of State (Department) partnerships that model the differing structures and governance that partnerships can have. At a minimum, the training should clearly explain that the requirements included in 2 Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) 970, “Public-Private Partnerships,” apply to all PPPs, including those for which a Department grantee is an intermediary or a grantee is acting on behalf of the Department in forming the partnership.
