Overview
This chapter provides guidance on how the Agency responds to incidents where personnel have died, or have been killed while on assignment and/or working on behalf of USAID. This includes deaths in the line of duty, and those not considered in the line of duty. The term “personnel” includes all categories of direct hire employees and personal services contractors (PSCs) of USAID [to include the Office of Inspector General (OIG)], including Cooperating Country National PSC (CCNPSC) staff, Foreign Service Nationals (FSNs) direct hire, Third Country National PSC (TCNPSC) staff, and U.S. PSCs whether locally engaged or offshore. It applies to staff overseas as well as those working on behalf of USAID in the United States or in travel/transit.
