This law sets extra rules for the Agency for International Development's Inspector General. Foreign Service officers can be assigned to work only for the Inspector General, who writes their performance reviews. The Agency isn't bound by normal overseas staffing limits when it opens field offices.
(a) Definition of Agency for International Development
In this chapter, "Agency for International Development" also includes any successor agency that takes over running Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
(b) Members of Foreign Service
Besides the officers and employees already covered elsewhere, Foreign Service members may be assigned — at the Inspector General's request — to work as employees of the Agency's Inspector General*. Once assigned, these members report only to the Inspector General, who (or whose designee) writes their performance evaluations.
(c) Field Offices
When the Agency's Administrator sets up and staffs field offices under section 406(d), the Administrator does not have to follow the normal limits on the number of overseas staff.
(d) Additional Officer
The Agency's Inspector General position is in addition to — not a replacement for — the officers already required by section 624(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
As used in this chapter, the term “Agency for International Development” includes any successor agency primarily responsible for administering part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.).
In addition to the officers and employees provided for in section 406(a)(7) of this title, members of the Foreign Service may, at the request of the Inspector General* of the Agency for International Development, be assigned as employees of the Inspector General. Members of the Foreign Service so assigned shall be responsible solely to the Inspector General, and the Inspector General (or the Inspector General’s designee) shall prepare the performance evaluation reports for the members assigned as employees of the Inspector General.
In establishing and staffing field offices pursuant to section 406(d) of this title, the Administrator of the Agency for International Development shall not be bound by overseas personnel ceilings.
The Inspector General of the Agency for International Development shall be in addition to the officers provided for in section 624(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2384(a)).
