Abstract
This report analyzes overseas staffing requirements consistent with recent recategorization of USAID Missions. The analysis was approved by the Administrator on 7/29/96 and distributed to all Bureaus for clearance and comment. It is intended to provide guidance to Agency managers in determining the appropriate size and mix of staff needed to carry out USAID programs under various country organizational configurations. The precise number and types of staff in each country will be determined on a country-specific basis. The analysis is also intended to be used as a basis for broad Agency resource decisions. Part I contains general assumptions, Part II presents indicative staffing levels, and Part III is a summary. Annexes review the functions of Technical Specialists, Financial Management Officers, Regional Legal Advisors, Contracting Officers, Executive Officers, Program and Project Development Officers, and membership of Advisory Group and Working Groups.
