Dear Colleagues,
Modernizing bureaucracy is not easy. Change doesn't happen overnight. But your efforts to reduce bureaucratic processes that are overly time-consuming, outdated, or unproductive are essential to making USAID and our government a better place to work.
A crucial part of our burden reduction efforts is keeping the workforce informed about the progress we’re making, and I’m pleased to highlight some of the work our colleagues are tackling.
 Please check out the Burden Reduction Program website here. You can click on the tiles on the website to access resources on burden reduction best practices, videos, reforms that other Operating Units are leading, organized by category, as well as a new burden reduction dashboard to track progress.
Bureaucratic inertia is a formidable opponent. But your partnership is helping us overcome years of inefficiencies and creating more time for the meaningful work we signed up to do.
I look forward to recognizing some of our most inspirational burden busters. Similar to the Sammies, please nominate your peers (or yourselves!) via the simple submission form here for the ongoing Burden Reduction Competition before the window closes on July 21st.
You can contact the BRP team at BRP@usaid.gov for any questions related to burden reduction.
Best,
Deputy Administrator Paloma Adams-Allen
