It is this caring that stands as a hallmark of the United States around the world - and shows the world our true character as a nation.

NOTES:

This position is located within USAID/Afghanistan Office of Alternative Development and Agriculture in Kabul.

The USAID mission is part of a larger US Government (USG) and international community efforts to assist the people and Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GoIRA) recover from years of conflict and neglect. In recent years, Afghanistan, with the help of the broader international community, has made remarkable progress on many fronts towards this recovery. However, many of the root causes of conflict, insecurity and political instability in Afghanistan remain unaddressed. Widespread poverty; mistrust and imbalance of power between Afghanistan?s many diverse ethnic communities; slow progress on demobilization, external extremist influences and the black market economy of opium production and trade combine forces to require new and innovative ideas for development assistance to work.

USAID?s mission in Afghanistan is to support the rapid transition of Afghanistan to a more stable and productive state through the promotion of democracy, rule of law and sustainable economic and social development that is responsive to citizens? needs. The core vision of the Alternative Development and Agriculture office and premise of the Alternative Development Program (ADP) is that by increasing licit and commercially viable agriculture-based alternatives for the rural populations of Afghanistan, the cultivation of poppy cultivation will be significantly reduced and ultimately eliminated. According to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Afghanistan Opium Survey 2007, ?14.3% of the total population is involved in opium poppy cultivation. In 2007, the survey estimated that 509,000 families were involved in opium poppy cultivation compared to 448,000 families in 2006 (a 14% increase). Given an average of 6-7 members per family, this represents an estimated total of about 3.3 million persons, or 14.3 % of Afghanistan?s 23 million population.? ADAG supports one of the five pillars of the USG Counter-narcotics Strategy which in addition to alternative development includes public information, poppy elimination and eradication, interdiction and law enforcement operations, and justice reform and prosecution. As a contributor to this core strategy, USAID works in close collaboration with the Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) (medium-sized military compounds located in various provinces of Afghanistan), State/Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), Afghan and broader donor community involved in counter-narcotics. The overall mission of the USAID ADAG office is to increase incentives that promote licit and sustainable commercial agriculture and related agribusiness in poppy provinces and thus help local economies transition away from dependency on illicit opium production and sales. Specifically, the ADAG office provides the technical expertise and management oversight for a wide range of programs and activities including the flagship Alternative Development Programs (ADP), the Good Performers Initiative (UNDP/GPI), environment, biodiversity and natural resources management (Ecodit; WCS), Afghanistan Water Agriculture and Technology Transfer (AWATT), mountain zone development (ICIMOD) , pastoralist livestock development and conflict management (UC-Davis), Agri-business Development and Production (ASAP), and Development Credit Authority (DCA) programs.

WHO ARE WE?
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has a long history of extending a helping hand to those people overseas struggling to make a better life, recover from a disaster or striving to live in a free and democratic country. It is this caring that stands as a hallmark of the United States around the world - and shows the world our true character as a nation.

USAID is listed as one of the top ten best places to work in the Federal Government by the Office of Personnel Management's survey (Summer 2006).

WHAT ARE WE?
USAID is an independent federal government agency that receives overall foreign policy guidance from the Secretary of State. With headquarters in Washington, DC, USAID fosters transformational development around the world. Our work supports economic growth and trade; agriculture and the environment; education and training; democracy and governance; global health; global partnerships and humanitarian assistance. We operate in four regions of the world: Sub-Saharan Africa; Asia and the Near East; Latin America and the Caribbean; and Europe and Eurasia. USAID employs individuals in the Civil Service and Foreign Service, as well as through Personal Service Contracts for service in Washington, DC and overseas.

WHERE ARE WE?
USAID's headquarters is centrally located in downtown Washington, DC, at the prestigious Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center on 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. We are located right on the Federal Triangle Metro (Blue and Orange Lines). The office is within walking distance of restaurants, shops, Smithsonian Institution museums and Washington Monument. There is also a physical fitness facility and food court on site.

NOTES:

These positions are located throughout Afghanistan.

The USAID mission is part of a larger US Government and International Community intervention to assist the people and government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. In recent years, Afghanistan, with the help of the international community, has made remarkable progress on many fronts. However, many of the root causes of conflict, insecurity and political instability in Afghanistan remain unaddressed: widespread poverty, ethnic mistrust and imbalance of power; slow progress on demobilization, and external extremist influences.

USAID?s mission is to support the rapid transition of Afghanistan to a more stable and productive state through the promotion of democracy, rule of law and sustainable economic and social development that is responsive to citizens? needs. The USAID Alternative Development Program is a major component of the U.S. Government?s assistance to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan?s (IRoA) counter-narcotics strategy. The IRoA is committed to achieving the total elimination of opium production in Afghanistan under a ten-year National Drug Control Strategy (NDCS) that aims at a 70% reduction of opium poppy cultivation by August 2008, and a complete elimination by 2013 in areas where alternative development has been made sufficiently available. Achieving this goal requires a multi-faceted, coordinated effort under IRoA direction that focuses on good governance, including the rule of law, extension of state presence into the rural areas, and increased investment to stimulate growth and employment in the rural economy.

USAID places Alternative Development Field Managers (FM) within the Provincial Reconstruction Teams. The USAID field Manager at the PRT is responsible through the field office management in Kabul and then to the USAID Mission Director. The Mission of the field office program is to ensure USAID Mission successfully achieves its strategic objectives in the field by assisting USAID programming and achieving unity of effort with other USG agencies, international actors, local government, and local communities.

This is a term appointment not to exceed five years. Candidates appointed under this announcement who meet the service and performance requirements MAY BE eligible for conversion to Career Candidate status after two years of service in Afghanistan. Note: An employee who is approved for a change from a Non-Career appointment to a Career Candidate appointment must be converted to Career Candidate status at no higher than the FS-02 level.

Benefits associated with service in Afghanistan include 35% danger pay, 35% post differential, and Sunday differential. In addition, the FICA and federal income tax will be withheld by USAID. During a year period you will be entitled to two Rest and Recuperation trips (R&R) and two Regional Rest Breaks (RRBs). While you will have to use your Annual Leave or Compensatory off for R&R, you will be entitled to 5 days Administrative Leave plus two days of travel time for each Regional Rest Break.
