March 15, 1978. 26 pp. * appendix (1 pp.). Report to John J. Gilligan, Administrator, Agency for International Development; by J. 1'enneth Fasick, Director, International Div. Issue Area: Federal rersonnel management and Compensation: Work Force Planning (313); International Economic and Military Programs (4O6). contact: International Div. Budget Function: International Affairs: Foreign Economic and Financial Assistance (151); General Government: Central Porsonnl Management (805). Or~muization Concerned: Department of State. congressional Relevance: House Committee on International Relations; Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. The purpose of the Agency for International re.elonmentze (&ID's) reorganization and other recent personnel kanageoent initiatives is to improve operating efficiency and effectiveness. The reorganization plans are far reaching in their impact on operations and personnel. Findings/onclusions: Imbalances continue in AID staffing levels, grades, and skills. As of October 31@ 1977: many foreign service employees occupied positions that were one, two, or three grades below their equivalent foreign service rank; a large number cf foreign service employees remained in Washington beyond their 3-year rotation; because of rank and occupational background, 64 foreign service employees were not assigned to permanent Washington positions; adainistrative and maragebent positions in AID's overh.as missions were overgraded; a;d there were significant variances in staffing patterns of overseas missions in relation to the sive and complexity of their programs. The relatively high grading in the overseas missions is one of the principal causes of overgrading in Vashington. These prublems can be attributed to the *rank-in-person concept which enables foreign service employees to be advanced in personal rank without regard to job responsibilities. Recommendations: The adminictiator of AID should: undertake a position classification evaluation to confirm or revise the positions and grade levels currently designated for use in overseas miusions; explore the desirability, feasibility# i-A need for legislative remedy for converting the *rank-in-persono tc an alternative method; explore the feasibility of creating A career development and advancement ladder; and institute a more disciplined system of staff rotation.
