with a diverse workforce consisting of 

numerous hiring mechanisms, 

including, but not limited to, U.S. direct 

hires, fellows, interns, Personal Services

The goal of data collection under this 

generic clearance is to collect workforce 

feedback on organizational health, 

operations, workforce culture, and work 

environment necessary to strengthen 

mission readiness and better achieve its 

development objectives. USAID will 

only collect data from the 

approximately 11,000 members of the 

USAID workforce with minimal 

collection of personally identifiable 

information. The total estimated number 

of annual burden hours for these 

workforce population surveys is 41,250 

hours. USAID will limit analysis and 

reporting to summary level statistics 

that will only be available to the 

internal workforce.
