The successful offeror will serve in the Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) Bureau. USAID currently manages over $1.7 billion a year on a broad range of democracy programs. The DRG Bureau is the lead for the Agency in supporting overall efforts to advance DRG. These efforts are critical to invigorate democracy, enhance human rights and justice, and bolster governance that advances the public interest and delivers inclusive development. The DRG Bureau’s annual budget is over $257 million, with a staff of over 180, composed of US direct hires (USDHs), institutional contractors, and Fellows. The Bureau’s mission is to shape policy and development agendas, generate knowledge and evidence that drives innovation, catalyze partnerships and coalitions, and mobilize cutting-edge programs and technical assistance to enable USAID’s Missions and partners to accelerate democratic development globally. The DRG Bureau achieves this through high quality support to USAID missions, generating and disseminating knowledge on best practices, and providing leadership on DRG to the wider U.S. Government (USG) and the international development community.

In addition to the Office of the Assistant to the Administrator, the DRG Bureau has eight technical and support offices: Global Trends and Technology (GTT); Elections and Political Processes (EPP); Justice, Rights, and Security (JRS); Governance (GOV); Civil Society, Labor, and Media (CLM); Policy, Learning, and Integration (PLI); Management and Cadre Support (MCS); and Program Office (PO). The Anti-Corruption Center (ACC) is also located in the DRG Bureau. The offices and ACC are described in ADS 101.3.1.17.
