USAID/Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA)

About the organization

The Support Relief Group (SRG) is a program developed by the Bureau for Humanitarian
Assistance (BHA) to satisfy its growing need for surge capacity. In response to numerous
disasters worldwide, it became clear that BHA could not find, in a timely manner, adequate staff
to cover all positions in the field and in Washington, and to backfill for permanent staff
deploying to the field. The SRG program brings on board select candidates who could work on a
part-time intermittent basis, for no more than 250 days per calendar year, and who can be
deployed within hours to facilitate BHA’s response to disasters, or to backfill staff in Washington
and other locations. SRG positions are contracted for five years.
The activation of the SRG Senior Assessment and Analytics (A&A) Advisor will be coordinated
with BHA’s Office of Technical and Program Quality (TPQ). The SRG A&AAdvisor provides
integral support to the Disaster Data Assessments and Information Management (DDAIM).
