    Notes:
    70 p., Congress appropriated more than 1.14 billion dollars in supplemental funds for reconstruction assistance following the earthquake in Haiti, most of which was provided to the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of State (State). The Haitian government created the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC), a joint Haitian-international entity, for an 18-month term to coordinate donors, conduct strategic planning, approve reconstruction projects, and provide accountability. GAO addressed (1) the planned uses for US reconstruction assistance and the amounts provided so far, (2) USAID's internal controls for overseeing US funds, and (3) IHRC's progress establishing governance and oversight structures.
