USAID/Afghanistan develop and implement a mission policy requiring the completion of a comprehensive risk assessment which identifies programs that the mission is considering retaining, reducing, or eliminating, including the risks to their sustainability, how it plans to address those risks, and the optimal number and type of staffing needed to oversee remaining programs. The mission should coordinate with the Office of Afghanistan Affairs and develop the risk assessment in consultation with key stakeholders, including Congress, mission staff, and the Office of Human Capital and Talent Management.
USAID/Afghanistan establish requirements in the mission policy that the comprehensive risk assessment be updated annually, or as needed, and that the results be communicated to Congress and key internal stakeholders.
