===Sub-organizations=== | |||
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) operates with various sub-organizations or bureaus to manage its diverse portfolio of international development and humanitarian assistance programs. These bureaus are responsible for overseeing specific geographic regions, thematic areas, or special initiatives. USAID also coordinates with other U.S. government agencies and maintains field missions in over 100 countries, which are not sub-organizations per se but are integral to its operational structure. | |||
