OIG investigation in Haiti uncovers collusion and fraud in warehouse contracting
ABSTRACT A report from the OIG on its investigation of Haiti confirms collusion and fraud on the part of the Principal Recipient for grants across all three diseases, Population Services International, through its local affiliate, the Organisation Haitienne de Marketing Social pour la santé. The wrongdoing, related to fraudulent procurement in the process of contracting a warehouse for bednets, involved $216,870 in non-compliant expenditures, about half of which the OIG recommends be recovered from the Principal Recipient. The OIG reviewed other expenditures by the local affiliate, which did not warrant further investigation.
