The Center for Democracy, Human Rights and Governance (DRG Center), within USAID’s Bureau for Development, Democracy and Innovation (DDI), provides technical advice and support to USAID missions implementing programs in democracy, human rights, and governance (DRG); generates and disseminates knowledge to build the DRG evidence base; and elevates the role of DRG in key USAID, U.S. Government, and multilateral strategies. The DRG Center's annual budget is over $146 million, with more than 100 staff positions. In addition to the leadership team, the DRG Center has nine technical and support teams: Cadre Care and Development; Civil Society and Media; Democratic Resilience and Innovation; Democratic Elections and Political Processes; Evidence and Learning; Governance; Justice, Rights, and Security; Policy, Coordination, and Integration (PCI); and Program. The functions of the Bureau and Center are described in ADS 101. This position will be on the DRG Center’s PCI Team. The PCI Team leads the DRG Center’s engagement on DRG integration and sector-wide DRG policies, strategies, and budgets. The PCI Team provides leadership, advocacy, research, training and targeted technical assistance to promote the integration of the DRG principles of participation, inclusion, transparency, and accountability, across all sectors of Agency programming in order to improve governance and strengthen sustainability of USAID activities. The Team represents USAID’s DRG sector in the annual global budget formulation and execution process, ensuring that budget levels are consistent with strategies and policy priorities. The PCI Team’s Regional Coordinators are the Center’s primary interlocutors with DRG offices in USAID Missions, regional bureaus, other technical Centers and bureaus, and provide regional knowledge and expertise to the Center. They also lead the DRG Center’s reviews of Country Development Cooperation Strategies, and other strategic, policy and program planning documents. Regional Coordinators lead on country and region-specific interagency engagements including with the State Department and the National Security Council. The PCI Team also manages and coordinates technical assistance and regional support, and leads the DRG Center’s efforts at supporting country-specific DRG assessments, political economy analyses, and strategies.
