AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
2024 USAID Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Bi-
Annual Survey
AGENCY: United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The 2024 USAID DEIA survey will utilize workforce data to
establish metrics in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility
(DEIA), enable long-term evaluation at all levels, and, by comparing
this version with the pilot survey, identify areas for improvement.
DATES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.''
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For specific questions related to
collection activities, please contact Yasmine Taylor Hart, 202-712-5590
or email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7f060b171e0d0b3f0a0c1e161b511c1012"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e49d908c859690a49197858d80ca878b89">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13, the Agency
submitted a request for emergency approval of new information
collection from the agency's workforce on DEIA, including U.S. Direct
Hires (permanent and temporary) U.S. Personal Services Contractors,
Institutional Support Contractors, Cooperating Country Nationals, and
other expanded demographic categories in 6 main areas on a 5-point
Likert scale, including 13 diversity questions, 7 equity questions, 13
accessibility questions, and 29 talent impact questions.
Description of Proposed Use of Information
The information will be collected via a digital survey and used by
the workforce to capture the viewpoints and perceptions of USAID
headquarters and overseas employees across all staffing mechanisms and
at all grades and ranks; allow for data disaggregation by Bureau,
Independent Office, and Mission; provide data for analysis to support
evidence-based and data-driven approaches to determine whether and to
what extent Agency policies programs, and practices present barriers to
equal and equitable and opportunities and employment outcomes and what
needs to be changed or developed to remove said barriers; and to
support USAID efforts to monitor and report on DEIA and EEO program
effectiveness, enabling continuous program improvement.
Based on the pilot survey, distributed in 2022, this survey
includes minor updates to sections about demographics, sexual
orientation and gender identity (SOGI), and sexual misconduct. The 2024
survey will compare results with the pilot survey to find areas for
improvement. It also will gather information from the Agency workforce
allowing USAID to establish a baseline for DEIA-related metrics, create
a more inclusive working environment, and promote long-term evaluation
at the Agency level and within Missions, Bureaus, and Independent
Offices (M/B/IOs).
Time Burden
OMB's approval enables USAID to engage 11,000 respondents. Each
respondent will be able to provide 20 minutes in participation time,
totaling 3,667 estimated time burden of this proposed information
collection.

Management Analyst.
