USAID Summer Seminars

Session 1

The Bureau for Policy and Program Coordination, in coordination with the Knowledge for Development Subcommittee, is pleased to present USAID 2004 Summer Seminars. Click under “Materials” below for more information. Visit our WebBoard (new page will open).

1. JUNE 29. People—Our Greatest Asset: How the Human Capital and KfD Strategies Interact Session

An organization’s greatest asset is its people. Their knowledge, skills and expertise are the key to mission success. However, at 1.8 million employees, the federal civilian payroll has been reduced to its lowest level since 1950. Furthermore, this downsizing was accomplished through across–the–board staff reductions and hiring freezes, rather than targeted reductions aligned with agency’s missions. Understanding this issue, the President Management’s Agenda (PMA) identifies the “Strategic Management of Human Capital” as one of its initiatives. The Business Transformation Executive Committee (BTEC) tasked the Human Capital Subcommittee and the Knowledge for Development (KfD) Subcommittee to develop the plan that will allow USAID to “…effectively deploy the skilled, knowledgeable, diverse and high–performing workforce needed to meet the current and emerging needs of government and its citizens.”

This seminar will provide a review of the key points of these two strategies, how they complement each other, and what we consider to be “success”. HR initiatives and updates in recruiting will be discussed, and Knowledge for Development tools will be demonstrated. Presenters will provide updates on Joint Management Council initiatives with State in these two areas and the goals of these efforts. Audience participation, feedback and suggestions will be encouraged and used as the basis for the implementation phase of these activities.
