The current Acting Administrator is Alonzo Fulgham; and the Acting Deputy Administrator is (vacant), and the agency's Counselor is Lisa Chiles, and USAID's Chief Operating Officer is Alonzo Fulgham.
Bureaus
In Washington, USAID's major organization units are called bureaus. Each bureau houses the staffs responsible for major subdivisions of the agency's activities.
USAID has both geographic bureaus (which are responsible for the overall activities in the countries where we have programs) and functional bureaus (that conduct agency programs that are world-wide in nature or that cross geographic boundries.) The agency's geographic bureaus are:

Each bureau is headed by an Assistant Administrator, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
