Mission Staff

Overview

Mission staff are federal employees based out of in-country offices “in the field”. They can be tied to an embassy or a mission established by the U.S. government. These individuals are motivated to work with communities on the ground and partners to implement federally funded projects. They can be Americans working for the government abroad or foreign service national staff employed by the mission.
