In accordance with the Reports Consolidation Act of 2000, OIG is submitting a statement on what it considers to be the most significant management and performance challenges facing the Peace Corps. At Peace Corps OIG, we base this statement on the following: our audit, evaluation, and investigative work; our knowledge of the Peace Corps’ activities and operations; and the insights of agency senior leaders who provide their perspectives and expertise. For fiscal year (FY) 2026, we identified the following challenge areas: Volunteer Delivery System; Volunteer Health and Safety; Human Capital Management; and Information Technology Security Management.
Addressing the issues related to these challenge and performance areas will enhance the agency’s operational efficiencies, minimize potential fraud, waste, and abuse, and improve mission effectiveness.
