Team,
Phase Ill of the foreign assistance review is officially underway. We will dive deeper into the analysis portion of the review to give Secretary Rubio our recommendations.
It’s been my honor to assist Secretary Rubio in his leadership of USAID through some difficult stages to pivot this enterprise away from its abuses of the past. Now that USAID is under control, accountable and stable, I am going to return to my post as the Director of Foreign Assistance to bring value back to the American people.
Effective immediately, Secretary Rubio is delegating his authority to Jeremy Lewin to perform the duties of USAID Deputy Administrator for Policy and Programs who will also be the COO, and the Secretary will delegate his authority to Ken Jackson to perform the duties of USAID Deputy Administrator for Management and Resources who will also be the CFO. Joel Borkert will be the Chief of Staff and Marcus Thornton will be the Deputy Chief of Staff.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Pete
