The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is the lead U.S. Government agency that works to end extreme global poverty and enable resilient, democratic societies to realize their potential. The USAID mission states: We partner to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity.

USAID Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) oversight of USAID, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), the United States African Development Foundation (USADF), the Inter‐American Foundation (IAF), and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) helps ensure that the foreign assistance programs delivered by these agencies provide the aid needed around the world while also protecting U.S. taxpayers’ interests. The OIG’s mission is to protect and enhance the integrity of U.S. foreign assistance programs and operations administered by USAID, USADF, IAF, MCC, and OPIC. In its mission, OIG helps shape the success or failure of agency programs by assessing and recommending improvements in program planning, implementation, monitoring, and performance, as well as by working to detect and deter fraud, waste, and abuse.

OIGNet is the General Support System (GSS) for USAID Office of Inspector General (USAID/OIG), supporting all nonclassified information technology needs for USAID/OIG globally. OIGNet, as the primary IT infrastructure and computing environment for USAID/OIG, provides network infrastructure, servers, workstations, telecommunications, identity and access management and related supporting functions.

OIGNet also provides hosting for applications, virtualized machines for hosting, data‐ and tele‐ communications connectivity (including remote access) and a variety of USAID/OIG mission critical applications. These resources support the USAID/OIG’s automated business processes for Auditing, Investigation, and Management Divisions, to include financial and information security audits, criminal investigations, budgeting, planning, procurement, contracts monitoring and awards, tracking results and performance, and administrative functions.
