The Regional Executive Office offers a range of administrative management services to support the Client’s program, operations and personnel. The USDH Supervisory Executive Officer is currently assisted by a Deputy Executive Officer and a limited number of locally hired staff in Frankfurt. Under the overall guidance of the R/EXO, additional administrative support needed may be provided by staff located at the Client office or procured under the institutional support contractor mechanism or through other available avenues managed by MERP. Administrative services provided may include human resources and personnel services for employees; assessments of and guidance on management operations including recommendations for improvements; procurement; travel; communication and records management; space planning; Information Technology; ICASS support; and budgeting.
