Mr. David Cooney:

I will ask Mr. Rogers to provide the detail as he was personally involved in pursuing the particular fraud. Deputy Deasy is correct that there was a misappropriation of therapeutic food. The food is Plumpy'nut, a peanut paste that is of nutritional value to undernourished people and is used widely across Africa. The fraud occurred in a programme administered by UNICEF, which we funded. We became aware through UNICEF's own reporting that $700,000 of the product had been misappropriated. I was informed of the fraud immediately by Mr. Rogers and the evaluation and audit unit and we reported it to the Comptroller and Auditor General. We pursued the matter rigorously. It was a clear failure by a UN organisation to properly administer a programme which we were funding. The end result was that through Mr. Rogers's personal determination and effort an equivalent amount of the product was returned to the programme we were funding. I will allow Mr. Rogers to speak about it in more detail given his involvement.
