To further improve oversight of U.S. and other donor funding for the ANP provided through LOTFA, we recommend that the Commander, USFOR-A, in coordination with UNDP and other donors: Review LOTFA independent monitoring agent terms of reference, monitoring plans, and monitoring reports monthly or as appropriate to:a. Ensure the monitoring agent develops, documents, implements, and fully reports a sound and consistently-applied methodology for personnel physical verification activities. Such methodology should incorporate contingency procedures to respond to disruptions in monitoring activities due, for example, to insecurity, weather, or remote locations.b. Mitigate or resolve, and help prevent future occurrences of, specific problems, including reporting errors and inaccurate salary calculations, identified through monitoring.
