State Department staffing and foreign language shortfalls persist despite initiatives to address gaps : testimony before the Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columiba, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, U.S. Senate
GAO has reported in recent years on a number of human capital issues that have hampered the Department of State's (State) ability to carry out U.S. foreign policy priorities and objectives, particularly at posts central to the War on Terror. In 2002, State implemented the Diplomatic Readiness Initiative (DRI) to address shortfalls in the number and skills of State employees. This testimony addresses State's progress in (1) addressing staffing shortfalls since the implementation of DRI and (2) filling gaps in the language proficiency of Foreign Service officers and other staff. To accomplish these objectives, GAO analyzed staffing and language data and met with State officials.
