Careers

The USAID Development Assistance Specialist (Climate Integration) serves as a technical resource in strategic planning, program and activity design, budgeting, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the entire Mission portfolio for environmental compliance.

In accordance with Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 216 (22 CFR 216), and other legal mandates, USAID must evaluate potential adverse environmental and social impacts of all its development projects and activities, identify needed mitigation measures, and ensure that implementing parties carry out these mitigation measures. USAID’s policies and operations procedures, set out in ADS 204, require that environmental considerations be integrated into and throughout the Agency’s overall program cycle in order to ensure that operating units identify, account for, and mitigate the environmental impacts of USAID activities. USAID also strengthens capabilities of developing countries to evaluate and mitigate potential adverse impacts of development projects.

The USAID Development Assistance Specialist (Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) and Collaboration, Learning and Adapting (CLA)) plays a key role in the Regional Office of Program Resources Management (RPRM), USAID/Philippines, enabling the Mission to better understand, apply, and utilize Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning and Collaboration, Learning and Adapting for more effective and efficient development and humanitarian assistance programming.
