Country Examples - Personnel Management and Travel Planning

Senegal, TMG provided administrative and logistical support that supplied personnel and financial services to the USAID Contract Services Support project and to Dupont/Senegal for a team of 10 persons. Services included personnel recruitment, financial management, and facilities management. Under the SRP contract, TMG opened three offices (Ouagadougou, Bamako and Niamey), and recruited support, administrative and technical personnel within four weeks for this regional policy project.

Dominican Republic, TMG reviewed the costs and services requested and conducted a management survey of support functions required by USAID.

We also recommended the elements of the physical plant that were needed, and the number and types of staff personnel to be hired, as well as the phase-in schedule.
