The U.S. Agency for International Development has been telling anyone who cares to listen that the agency is facing a staffing crisis.
Administrator Samantha Power told Congress two years ago that the agency needed to address its staffing shortfalls. The situation, officials have said, has now hit a crisis point.
Last month, Power said that the agency’s workforce was “depleted” as she launched the new strategy that governs the bulk of how it spends its money.
