[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 re-orgs in 5 years. An order back to the office without actual seats for everyone. Constant elevation and then demotion of new, shiny topics. A cadre of young, insular, self-admiring and inexperienced politicals who are there to claim the mantle of others' ideas and kiss the ring for flashy leaders. A movement away from the core development mission and towards hot policy issues. A leader who is obsessed with herself and a team who promotes her every move (look! soccer with poor brown kids!). Meanwhile, a dysfunctional bureaucracy focused on process, sludge, and insider connections that keeps the Agency understaffed and the humans who work there demoralized and over worked.

Most of these points are true of any agency. Politicals gonna political. There’s a reason it’s called non-merit hiring.

USAID operates more efficiently than many other agencies. The leadership might be full of hot air, but the core staff are smart and dedicated. [/quote]
The core staff is dedicated to themselves and survival.  USAID has zero idea of what it wants to be.  
The best thing for the interagency would be to revoke their semiautonomous status and roll their functions under State’s various bureaus.  [/quote]
