E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS: APER AMGT AFIN CO
SUBJECT: NSDD-38: U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) 
Staffing in Colombia 
 
Summary 
 
------- 
 
 
 
1.  After careful consideration, and in accordance with the 
authorities vested in me as Chief of Mission (COM), I approve the 
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to add three 
Development Leadership Initiative (DLI's) Officers as follows: one 
FS-6 Program Economic Officer, one FS-6 Democracy & Governance 
Specialist and one FS-2 General Development Officer position at 
post. My authorization to establish these new positions, however, 
hinges on the petitioning agency's understanding that all Executive 
Branch personnel at post fall under COM authority, or in my 
absence, the Charge d'Affaires, and its willingness to satisfy 
fully certain administrative and funding criteria contained in 
paragraph five below.  End Summary. 
 
 
 
The Link between Additional Staffing and MSP Goals 
 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
 
 
 
2.  USAID/Colombia manages the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) 
Bureau's largest, most complex program with the most efficient 
staff/program ratio in the region.  This is the fourth largest 
USAID dollar program world-wide, implemented through three 
technical offices: Democracy and Human Rights (DHR), Office of 
Consolidation Livelihoods Environment (CLE) and Office of 
Vulnerable Populations (OVP).  The Mission's FY 10 Estimated 
Program Budget is $212 million and $3.5 million budget for 
Operating Expenses.  USAID/Colombia's total staff level approved by 
the Deputy Chief of Mission was raised from 90 to 101.  The new DLI 
Program Economic Officer, Democracy & Governance Specialist and the 
General Development Officer positions comprise part of the 
increase. 
 
 
 
3.  The Program Economic Officer, Democracy & Governance Specialist 
and the General Development Officer, all have crisis and 
stabilization backgrounds which will be invaluable in furthering 
USAID's ability to consolidate our assistance to regional and local 
governance, support our Colombia Strategic Development Initiative 
(CSDI) activities, and provide economic analysis and assistance for 
monitoring and evaluation.  These DLI Officers will be mentored and 
trained by the Office Chiefs.  They will assist their supervisors 
in the development, implementation, and monitoring of new projects 
and will provide support in the management of the Mission's 
programs.  Additionally, they will  explore ways of integrating 
U.S. mission programs into the USAID portfolio (or vice versa)and 
provide full administrative support in reporting and coordinating 
operations with other agencies and the Government of Colombia. 
 
 
 
Administrative Support, Space, and Funding Arrangements 
 
--------------------------------------------- ---------- 
 
 
 
4.  All new Mission Colombia positions intrinsically link to the 
following obligatory administrative support and/or funding 
requirements of the petitioning agency: 
 
 
 
-- Office Space.  Office space in Mission facilities remains at a 
premium.  A petitioning agency must finance all costs (including 
those that might necessitate displacing another agency) associated 
with reconfiguring and/or equipping identified space within a 
secure USG facility to accommodate a new position.  Direct all 
questions regarding the availability of Mission office space to the 
Management Section. 
 
 
 
-- Housing.  We assume that all new direct-hire employees will fold 
into our Housing Program.  In the event an agency wishes to pursue 
other housing possibilities (e.g., living quarters allowance), it 
must acquire formal post concurrence before finalizing such an 
arrangement.  For the rare such requests we approve, Post policy 
requires that the Regional Security Officer and Post Occupational 
 
 
Safety and Health Official inspect and certify for occupancy any 
new residential space prior to acquisition. 
 
 
 
-- ICASS Services.  We further assume a petitioning agency 
 
will subscribe a new position to an identical level of ICASS 
services already enjoyed by existing staff with similar employment 
status.  Any significant deviations to a traditional ICASS services 
menu require separate negotiation with our Management Section.  Any 
new or existing agencies seeking staff increases must subscribe 
these new positions to a predetermined minimum level of ICASS 
services (basic package, CLO services, a certain number of OpenNet 
Plus accounts needed to communicate effectively with other Mission 
elements, etc.) to ensure they may conduct interagency business 
efficiently without placing an additional burden on our ICASS 
support platform.  Post will use the partial year invoice to fund 
resource requirements attributable to the increase in staff 
workload and to obtain a target level increase for the next fiscal 
year.  The workload counts used to generate the partial year 
invoice will reflect the time period prior to the arrival of the 
new position(s) (i.e. 3 months) for the work performed during that 
time in support of the position(s). 
 
 
 
5.  Please contact Deputy Chief of Mission, Brian A. Nichols, if 
you have program-related questions or concerns regarding the 
establishment of this new position.  Direct questions or concerns 
of an administrative nature to Management Counselor, Theresa Leech.
