Require PLGHA compliance reporting and debarment penalties
Printed page 261 9. Agency for International Development
“All entities funded by USAID, both directly and indirectly, should report their compliance with the PLGHA, and USAID should institute penalties, including debarment from future federal funding, for violations of it.”
What has happened
- Done
Both halves are in the rule. Recipients must open books, records and other information to the Department on reasonable cause, submit to independent inquiries in the community served, and carry recordkeeping and reporting requirements that State prices at $114 million a year in training and routine compliance monitoring of prime and sub-recipient activities. On violation the Government "shall terminate" the assistance unless corrective action is warranted, and failure to comply "may result in - (i) Suspension of payments ... and/or (ii) Suspension or debarment", with refund of any amount spent in violation. The terms flow down to every sub-recipient, which is the Quote's "both directly and indirectly". Effective 2026-02-26.

Research notes
- The rule imposes the regime at the Department of State rather than at USAID, which no longer exists; the substance the Quote asks for - compliance reporting by direct and indirect recipients, and debarment as a penalty - is in force.
