[9] On July 25, 2009, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced plans to send up to 10,000 Iraqi students per year to colleges in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia through 2014 as a part of the Iraq Education Initiative, for which AED will provide advice and support.

[10] Other programs included the AED Center for Youth Development and Policy Research, which began the Promising Practices in Afterschool System in 1999 with funding from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.

[12] The National Security Education Program David L. Boren Fellowships for graduate students, offered by George Washington University, were provided by AED.

Moseley said his 2007 compensation, which included "catch-up" payments into an executive pension fund for prior years, was "in line" with competitors.

According to the U.S. Government, AED had failed to provide proper oversight and management of USAID projects in the semi-autonomous tribal regions of Pakistan and parts of Afghanistan.

The Department of Justice also alleged that executives at the Washington, D.C., office of AED did not properly disclose information about overcharges and other financial mismanagement.
