The USAID Office of Civilian Response is seeking OCR Crisis Response General 
Development Officers (Multiple Positions).  Solicitation Number: SOL-OCR-13-
000001; Salary Level: GS-14 Equivalent Hourly Rate: $40.58 - $52.76; Equivalent 
daily rate $324.64-$422.08 - not eligible for locality pay).  Final compensation will 
be negotiated within the listed market value based upon the candidate's past salary, 
work history and educational background.  Salaries over and above the top of the pay 
range will not be entertained or negotiated.  Period of Performance: One (1) year, 
with four (4) option years.  The United States Government (USG), represented by the 
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is seeking applications from 
qualified U.S. citizens to provide personal services overseas as Crisis Response 
General Development Officer under a personal services contract.  The purpose of 
this contract is to establish an employee/ employer relationship with the contractor to 
perform services overseas on a temporary, on-call basis as part of the Bureau for 
Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA)/ Office of Civilian 
Response (OCR) "Firehouse."  The Personal Services Contractor(s) hired under this 
contract will provide up to a maximum of 250 workdays of services on an annual 
basis.  The specific projects, as well as dates, number of days and locations to be 
worked will be determined by mutual agreement between the contractor and his/her 
OCR supervisor according to requests made to OCR by USAID overseas missions.  
This is an intermittent USPSC solicitation. There is no obligation by OCR to provide 
assignments for a minimum number of days, and the contractor will be free to 
provide "blackout" dates during which he/she will not be available to accept 
assignments.  Upon identification of a temporary need within the scope of work, 
OCR will contact the contractor and provide the following information: 1. Date 
contractor is needed to report to OCR or assignment in the field; 2. Duration of 
Assignment; 3. Place of Performance.  The contractor will notify OCR whether 
he/she is available for the assignment within two business days.  At the time the 
contractor accepts the assignment, he/she is expected to commit for the duration of 
the assignment.  While the contractor will be required to commit to a certain time 
period, it is understood that the exigencies of a crisis may require the assignment to 
be curtailed or extended (not to exceed 250 days per year).  The contractor shall 
notify OCR at the time of commitment if his or her existing schedule would preclude 
an extension.  Notification of schedule conflicts shall not necessarily disqualify the 
contractor from the assignment, but will simply assist OCR in recruiting a 
replacement.  Subsequently, if unforeseen circumstances arise, and the contractor 
needs to curtail the assignment and leave post, the contractor must receive approval 
from OCR and the Mission prior to departure.  As services provided by the 
contractor are on a temporary, on-call basis, health and life insurance 
reimbursements will be provided on a prorated basis based on the number of days 
during which the contractor actually provides services.  PLACE OF 
PERFORMANCE: Worldwide.  There may be an initial orientation and training 
program in Washington, D.C.  This may include formal classroom training, online 
training, on-the-job training and security training.  After completion of appropriate 
training, the Crisis Response General Development Officer will be considered 
available for overseas assignment.  8. STATEMENT OF WORK:  Background: 
USAID's Office of Civilian Response (OCR) is seeking highly motivated, highly 
qualified individuals who want the opportunity to help support USAID missions 
abroad when faced with a natural disaster, political crisis, and internal conflict or 
otherwise in need of staff support due to some unforeseen circumstance.  Created in 
2008, OCR provides crisis staffing to USAID missions throughout the world with a 
full range of specialized expertise.  Since then this office has provided over 20,000 
days of mission support in deployments to countries such as Libya, Tunisia, 
Kyrgyzstan, Sri Lanka, Burma, Honduras, Jamaica, Kenya, South Sudan, Democratic 
Republic of Congo as well as many other countries.  As a member of OCR's team of 
crisis responders you would be available at short notice to bring to USAID missions 
your specialized skills in support of a mission's response to a crisis.  USAID is 
striving to become an even more nimble and agile organization when responding to 
crises.  Countries experiencing a significant political transition in the midst of a 
crisis or emerging from civil conflict have unique needs that cannot always be fully 
addressed by a traditional USAID mission staffing.  Timely and effective assistance 
to promote and consolidate peaceful, democratic advances can make the difference 
between a successful or a failed state.  OCR plays a unique role in USAID by 
ensuring the USAID mission has sufficient staff with the right skills during those 
critical golden hours.  To respond quickly and effectively and meet USAID mission 
needs OCR retains a group of high level professionals and experts under U.S. 
Personal Services Contracts (USPSCs).  These knowledgeable and skilled 
professionals are available to missions to expand their capacity, augment their 
existing capability, fill in gaps, and replace evacuated staff or in some cases project 
USAID presence to field sites or non-presence countries.  OCR staff provide 
specialized skills in a range of areas from contracting to communications, to 
program design, election monitoring, project management, development outreach 
and communication, reporting and strategic planning among others. As a member of 
this team you would play a crucial role in supporting USAID programs at a time 
when their success is most critical.  The OCR "Firehouse" comprises USPSCs on 
intermittent contracts providing support when changed circumstances in a country 
necessitate an increase in staffing or additional specialized skills.  Those serving in 
the Firehouse must be prepared to work abroad in USAID missions and embassies, 
often with little time for preparations.  Deployments may be for any period of time 
from 2 months to almost a full year.  USPSCs are considered employees of USAID 
for all purposes except programs administered by the Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) - such as federally sponsored health insurance, life insurance, 
and retirement benefits.  However, there are several other similar benefits that 
USPSCs may participate in, such as partial reimbursement for health and life 
insurance costs, as well as full coverage of workers' compensation, among other 
benefits.  For more information on the Office of Civilian Response visit

Acquisition & Assistance Policy Directive (AAPD) No. 06-10 PSC Medical Expense 
Payment Responsibility.  General Provision 22, MEDICAL EXPENSE PAYMENT 
RESPONSIBILITY (OCTOBER 2006).  (a) Definitions. Terms used in this General 
Provision are defined in 16 FAM 116 available at 
http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/regs/fam/c23002.htm.  Note: Personal services 
contractors are not eligible to participate in the Federal Employees Health Programs.  
(b) The regulations in the Foreign Affairs Manual, Volume 16, Chapter 520 (16 
FAM 520), Responsibility for Payment of Medical Expenses, apply to this contract, 
except as stated below.  The contractor and each eligible family member are strongly 
encouraged to obtain health insurance that covers this assignment.  Nothing in this 
provision supersedes or contradicts any other term or provision in this contract that 
pertains to insurance or medical costs, except that section (e) supplements General 
Provision 25. "MEDICAL EVACUATION (MEDEVAC) SERVICES."  (c) When 
the contractor or eligible family member is covered by health insurance, that 
insurance is the primary payer for medical services provided to that contractor or 
eligible family member(s) both in the United States and abroad.  The primary 
insurer's liability is determined by the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions 
of the insurance policy.  When the contractor or eligible family member is not 
covered by health insurance, the contractor is the primary payer for the total amount 
of medical costs incurred and the U.S. Government has no payment obligation (see 
paragraph (f) of this provision).  (d) USAID serves as a secondary payer for medical 
expenses of the contractor and eligible family members who are covered by health 
insurance, where the following conditions are met: (1) The illness, injury, or medical 
condition giving rise to the expense is incurred, caused, or materially aggravated 
while the eligible individual is stationed or assigned abroad; (2) The illness, injury, 
or medical condition giving rise to the expense required or requires hospitalization 
and the expense is directly related to the treatment of such illness, injury, or medical 
condition, including obstetrical care; and (3) The Office of Medical Services 
(M/MED) or a Foreign Service medical provider (FSMP) determines that the 
treatment is appropriate for, and directly related to, the illness, injury, or medical 
condition.  (e) The Mission Director may, on the advice of M/MED or an FSMP at 
post, authorize medical travel for the contractor or an eligible family member in 
accordance with the General Provision 10, Travel and Transportation Expenses (July 
1993), section (i) entitled "Emergency and Irregular Travel and Transportation."  In 
the event of a medical emergency, when time does not permit consultation, the 
Mission Director may issue a Travel Authorization Form or Medical Services 
Authorization Form DS-3067, provided that the FSMP or Post Medical Advisor 
(PMA) is notified as soon as possible following such an issuance.  The contractor 
must promptly file a claim with his or her medevac insurance provider and repay to 
USAID any amount the medevac insurer pays for medical travel, up to the amount 
USAID paid under this section.  The contractor must repay USAID for medical costs 
paid by the medevac insurer in accordance with sections (f) and (g) below.  In order 
for medical travel to be an allowable cost under General Provision 10, the contractor 
must provide USAID written evidence that medevac insurance does not cover these 
medical travel costs.  (f) If the contractor or eligible family member is not covered 
by primary health insurance, the contractor is the primary payer for the total amount 
of medical costs incurred.  In the event of a medical emergency, the Medical and 
Health Program may authorize issuance of Form DS-3067, Authorization for 
Medical Services for Employees and/or Dependents, to secure admission to a 
hospital located abroad for the uninsured contractor or eligible family member.  In 
that case, the contractor will be required to reimburse USAID in full for funds 
advanced by USAID pursuant to the issuance of the authorization.  The contractor 
may reimburse USAID directly or USAID may offset the cost from the contractor's 
invoice payments under this contract, any other contract the individual has with the 
U.S. Government, or through any other available debt collection mechanism.  (g) 
When USAID pays medical expenses (e.g., pursuant to Form DS-3067, 
Authorization for Medical Services for Employees and/or Dependents), repayment 
must be made to USAID either by insurance payment or directly by the contractor, 
except for the amount of such expenses USAID is obligated to pay under this 
provision.  The Contracting Officer will determine the repayment amount in 
accordance with the terms of this provision and the policies and procedures for 
employees contained in 16 FAM 521.  When USAID pays the medical expenses, 
including medical travel costs (see section (e) above), of an individual (either the 
contractor or an eligible family member) who is covered by insurance, that 
individual promptly must claim his or her benefits under any applicable insurance 
policy or policies.  As soon as the individual receives the insurance payment, the 
contractor must reimburse USAID for the full amount that USAID paid on the 
individual's behalf or the repayment amount determined by the Contracting Officer 
in accordance with this paragraph, whichever is less.  If an individual is not covered 
by insurance, the contractor must reimburse USAID for the entire amount of all 
medical expenses and any travel costs the contractor receives from his/her medevac 
provider.  (h) In the event that the contractor or eligible family member fails to 
recover insurance payments or transfer the amount of such payments to USAID 
within 90 days, USAID will take appropriate action to collect the payments due, 
unless such failure is for reasons beyond the control of the USPSC/dependent.  (i) 
Before departing post or terminating the contract, the contractor must settle all 
medical expense and medical travel costs.  If the contractor is insured, he or she 
must provide proof to the Contracting Officer that those insurance claims have been 
submitted to the insurance carrier(s) and sign a repayment agreement to repay to 
USAID any amounts paid by the insurance carrier(s).  ATTACHMENT 2: FAR

Anti-Corruption / Good Governance Advisor
Cairo, Egypt

There is an opening for an Anti-Corruption/ Good Governance Advisor in Cairo, 
Egypt.  Salary range: Up to $635 daily depending on salary history; Open period: 
Thursday, April 18 to Monday, May 4, 2013; Position information: Consulting 
Opportunity; Performance dates: June/ July 2013 - approximately 6 weeks; Position 
number: 10113.  Background: USAID/Egypt's program has historically been a 
cornerstone of US foreign policy in the region, and this has been magnified with the 
changes that have taken place since the Arab Spring uprisings.  In 2012 the first 
democratically elected civilian President to Egypt came to office, and the White 
House stepped forward to promise a $1 billion economic assistance package.  The 
election of President Mohammed Morsi resulted in a change in government, 
including all ministries, and a change in key partners.  These changes have presented 
a new challenging dynamic aspect to bilateral relationships, as USAID has worked to 
build ties with new counterparts in the government and engage broadly with new 
actors in the Egyptian private sector and civil society.  A long history of poor 
governance in Egypt has left limited opportunity for a frustrated, disenfranchised 
population to resolve their grievances with the government. The mass protests of 
early 2011 were a largely a result of these shortcomings and of a widely held 
perception that there was no means to affect meaningful change through existing 
political processes.  The large-scale corruption disclosed after January 2011 
confirmed to all Egyptians that there is a vital need to build a new governance 
system.  USAID intends to assist Egyptian-led initiatives in addressing some of these 
key issues, as they pertain to selected Government of Egypt (GOE) institutions, civil 
society, and private enterprise.  Scope of Work: USAID/Egypt is seeking an 
experienced anti-corruption/ good governance advisor to take stock of existing 
mission anti-corruption activities, identify opportunities for cross-portfolio 
coordination on anti-corruption, transparency, and governance initiatives, and make 
concrete recommendations for future programming and integration in the form of a 
concept/ options paper.  This document should provide an overview of the status of 
current programs, outline the impact and results of previous activities, and identify 
areas of opportunity for targeted cross-portfolio interventions that complement the 
work of other donors and respond to GOE and USG development priorities.  Where 
feasible, the concept paper should identify potential evaluation opportunities that 
could be incorporated into programming in order to assess impact over time and test 
theories of change.  Building on the recommendation outlined in the options paper 
above, the consultant will support project design for ODG's 'Good Governance' 
program.  The design process will incorporate anti-corruption, decentralization and 
local administration reform, parliamentary strengthening, and fiscal transparency 
interventions in an integrated system that should link with broader DG portfolio 
goals and mission objectives and leverage other donor-funded interventions.  Cross-
cutting issues including gender, civil society, and media should be addressed and 
incorporated into the design process.  The consultant will receive technical guidance 
and input from DG team members to conceptualize and develop new programmatic 
activities in compliance with Agency procedures and requirements.  The final 
deliverable of this design process will be a Project Appraisal Document (PAD) that 
is ready for approval by Mission Management.  Deliverables: The consultant will be 
responsible for the following deliverables: Conduct a comprehensive analysis of past 
and ongoing mission activities in anti-corruption and public accountability with a 
specific emphasis on identifying areas for cross-portfolio coordination between 
technical offices moving forward.  Draft a concept paper that presents options for 
integrated anti-corruption programming, including illustrative interventions that are 
responsive to areas of opportunity in Egypt and complement other donor-funded 
initiatives.  Using the concept paper, existing data and documents, and discussions 
with key counterparts facilitate a comprehensive program design process. Following 
current USAID design guidance, prepare a Project Appraisal Document (PAD) that 
is ready for approval by Mission Management.  QUALIFICATIONS The following 
qualifications are required: Minimum 15 years of experience in the design, 
implementation, and/or evaluation of anti-corruption and good governance 
programs.  Advanced degree in political science, international affairs, development, 
or a related field.  A minimum of seven years of experience working with USAID.  
Demonstrated capability to produce high quality design and analytical documents in 
a timely fashion. TO APPLY: Required Application Materials: The following 
application materials must accompany applications: CV, Writing Sample, Three 
References, Salary History (AID Form 1420-17).  To apply: Please submit a CV and 
cover letter summarizing relevant expertise and experience per the qualifications 
listed above to Consulting@usaid.gov.  Write Position #10113 on the subject line.   
Please include all requested materials. The salary history form can be found at

*Director of Advancement
Arlington, VA

Founded in 1998, International Relief and Development (IRD) is one of the largest 
development organizations in the world, providing nearly $400 million annually in 
development assistance to some of the world's most vulnerable populations and 
delivering needed relief services in times of crisis.  IRD, which has historically 
operated largely on funding support from the U.S. Agency for International 
Development (USAID), government grants and in-kind donations, seeks to diversify 
its funding streams to include major individual, corporate and institutional giving 
that will enable the undertaking of new priorities and initiatives.  In support of this

technical capacity to provide humanitarian assistance and development programs to 
disaster-stricken, conflict and post-conflict regions all over the world.  Due to its 
tremendous success securing government funding through USAID and other U.S. 
government departments, the organization has achieved considerable growth in the 
absence of a more traditional private fundraising program often found in peer

implementation and management of private fundraising for IRD.  Successful 
candidates will demonstrate successful work with a big concept, growth oriented 
CEO and Board who are committed to expanding their fundraising roles and the 
success of the organization. Vital to this position will be a demonstrated ability to be 
an effective leader and manager within the context of a fast-paced setting with 
rapidly changing priorities.  Reporting directly to the Chief of Communications, the 
Director of Advancement will: Initiate strategic planning for private fundraising 
efforts, including the exploration of new strategies and approaches; Collaborate with 
the CEO, Chief of Communications, Chief of Business Development, Director of 
Acquisitions and Logistics, and Board members to identify and develop significant 
private sector and individual giving opportunities; With the CEO, Chief of 
Communications and Board Advancement Committee, set realistic fundraising goals 
and establish appropriate metrics to track success; Work closely with the CEO and 
the Board Advancement Committee and appropriate staff to manage the

private partnerships to advance organizational development goals; Partner with

funds, and work to coordinate field-based fundraising efforts; Oversee the 
development and implementation of social networking strategies aimed at deepening 
IRD's prospect list; Execute a successful annual fundraising event including 
sponsorships to support general giving; Review the proposed organizational chart, 
hire and supervise staff to oversee private sector giving, individual giving and 
advancement operations.  The preferred candidate will demonstrate the following 
QUALIFICATIONS: Fundraising Skills: 10+ years of increasing fundraising 
accomplishments and responsibilities; Experience with international fundraising, 
preferably within a not-for-profit setting; Familiarity with internationally-focused
