Description

The Dept. of State has embassies in 180 countries, & the U.S. Agency for International Develop. (USAID) maintains missions in 90 of those countries. At many posts, State & USAID are located on separate compounds & maintain multiple support service operations. However, the U.S. is in the process of building new embassy compounds that will collocate all agencies, creating opportunities for greater sharing of services. In Sept. 2004, it was recommended that State pursue the elimination of duplicative support structures at overseas facilities. This report reviewed: the status of State & USAID’s joint initiative to consolidate overseas services, & plans for advancing the initiative; & the challenges State & USAID face in these efforts. Includes recommendations.
