Section 611(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, provides that whenever certain types of funds are proposed to be used for a capital assistance project exceeding $1 million, the mission director must provide a certification as to the capability of the country to effectively maintain and utilize the project.
General Recommendations
Prepare an analysis of the Government of [country's] ability to fund maintenance for the structures turned over under the program, (1) determine the need for a separate operation and maintenance program and (2) revise as appropriate the 611 (e) certification previously prepared for the program.
