Inside a USAID field mission[edit]
While USAID can have as little presence in a country as a single person assigned to the U.S. Embassy, a full USAID mission in a larger country may have twenty or more USAID Foreign Service Officers and a hundred or more professional and administrative employees from the country itself.
The USAID mission's staff is divided into specialized offices in three groups: assistance management offices; the Mission Director's and the Program office; and the contracting, financial management, and facilities offices.
