.Last week we said USAID administrator Raj Shah couldn’t captain his own ship without a crew of Senate-confirmed leaders.

Bad news: zero have been confirmed. Check out our USAID Staffer Tracker below for more detail. We’ll keep it updated.USAID Positions Pending Presidential Nomination and Senate Confirmation
Update: Based on good feedback from our readers, we’ve removed the inspector general (IG) position from our chart because USAID already has one in place - Donald Gambatesa - and as IG’s are appointed without regard to political affiliation, they are not typically replaced with changes in administration.
