Program Officer (Survey and Evaluation Methods Advisor), Policy and Analyst Office, PA, 0343-FL-02

Description of Organization: This position is located in the Analysis and Learning Division of the Policy and Analysis Office (PA) in USAID’s Bureau for Resilience and Food Security (RFS). RFS’s mission is to partner to advance inclusive agriculture-led growth, resilience, nutrition, and access to water and sanitation to accelerate and protect progress on the Journey to Self-Reliance. RFS oversees four high-level, integrated efforts in support of this mission: (1) Feed the Future, guided by the Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS), (2) the USAID Multi-Sector Nutrition Strategy, (3) the U.S. Global Water Strategy, and (4) efforts to increase resilience in areas of recurrent humanitarian crisis. To deliver on this work, RFS partners with other Federal Departments and Agencies, USAID Bureaus and Missions, universities, civil society, and other public- and private-sector actors. 

The Policy and Analysis Office (PA) coordinates across RFS, the U.S. Government Interagency and external partners to set and adjust strategic and policy priorities, generate evidence, and disseminate learning. The Analysis and Learning Division (ALD) leads bureau efforts to measure impact, develop innovation methods and metrics, assess how a changing world will impact RFS programming, and promote a culture of evidence based decision making.
