Embassy Construction: State Has Made Progress Constructing New Embassies, but Better Planning Is Needed for Operations and Maintenance Requirements
In response to 2 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998,
the Department of State embarked on a $21 billion program to
replace 201 insecure and dilapidated diplomatic facilities. In
November 2004, GAO reported that State's Bureau of Overseas
Buildings Operations (OBO), which manages the construction
program, had implemented reforms to its planning, design,
construction, and funding processes designed to expedite the
construction process and prevent cost overruns that were common
to previous State diplomatic construction programs. This report
updates GAO's earlier report, by discussing OBO's completion
rates and costs for embassy construction projects and the impact
the reforms and other factors have on completion rates. It also
discusses the changes in the costs for operating and maintaining
these new facilities.
