11. STATEMENT OF DUTIES

BACKGROUND
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)’s Bureau for Humanitarian
Assistance (BHA) is responsible for facilitating and coordinating U.S. Government (USG)
humanitarian assistance overseas in response to all types of international disasters, including
slow-onset disasters such as droughts or famine, natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods,
or man-made disasters such as conflict or war. BHA is responsible for planning, coordinating,
developing, achieving, monitoring, and evaluating international humanitarian assistance falling
into two conceptual areas:
● Humanitarian Response activities comprise needs-based humanitarian assistance
provided to save lives, alleviate suffering, and protect human dignity during and in the
aftermath of emergencies. Humanitarian assistance is grounded in humanitarian
principles and is directed toward the most vulnerable populations.
● Early Recovery, Risk Reduction, and Resilience (ER4) activities will set the initial
foundations for longer-term recovery as appropriate and will work in close conjunction
with humanitarian assistance. Early recovery is an approach that supports communities
impacted by crises to protect and restore basic systems and service delivery. Early
recovery builds on humanitarian response efforts and establishes the initial foundations of
long-term recovery. Early recovery activities are implemented for a specified, appropriate
timeframe that assists populations recovering from an identifiable shock. Risk reduction
is the prevention of new and reduction of existing disaster risk and management of
residual risk, which contributes to strengthening resilience and to the achievement of
sustainable development. Resilience is the ability of people, households, communities,
countries, and systems to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from shocks and stresses in a
manner that reduces chronic vulnerability and facilitates inclusive growth.
BHA has seven offices, as follows:

The Bureau’s three geographic offices are: (1) Office of Africa; (2) Office of Asia, Latin
America and the Caribbean; and (3) the Office of the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.
Each geographic office designs, provides, and assesses humanitarian assistance for their
respective regions, including assistance related to responding to, recovering from, and reducing
the risk of man-made and natural disasters, while linking with other USAID investments that
build resilience.

The Office of Global Policy, Partnerships, Programs, and Communications (G3PC) shapes and
influences USAID’s role within the international humanitarian system; leads engagement on a
range of policy, programmatic, and operational issues; and positions the Agency to influence
collective response to emergency needs across the globe.

The Office of Technical and Program Quality (TPQ) leads the Bureau's efforts to provide
high-quality programmatic and technical leadership, oversight, and guidance. In addition, TPQ
leads the Bureau’s external engagement with academia and coordinates research to advance the
effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of humanitarian and multi-year programming.

The Office of Humanitarian Business and Management Operations (HBMO) is responsible for
maintaining 24/7 operability by providing leadership, planning, quality assurance, technical
expertise, and process management. HBMO ensures effective stewardship of the Bureau’s
support services, including workforce planning, staffing, financial management, internal
controls, facilities operations and infrastructure.

The Office of Field and Response Operations (FARO) leads and manages operational assistance
and the purchase and delivery of goods and services in response to declared foreign disasters and
international humanitarian needs in key functional areas, including supply-chain management,
procurement, logistics, oversight, and operational coordination with the U.S. military.
