The Dept. of State (State) has designated 2/3 of its 268 overseas posts as hardship posts. Staff working at such posts often encounter harsh conditions, incl. inadequate med. facilities and high crime. These posts are vital to U.S. foreign policy objectives and need a full complement of staff with the skills to carry out the department's priorities. State offers staff at these posts a hardship differential -- an adjustment to basic pay -- to compensate officers for the conditions they encounter and as a recruitment and retention incentive. This report assesses: (1) State's progress in addressing staffing gaps at hardship posts since 2006 and the effect of any remaining gaps; and (2) the extent to which State has used incentives to address staffing gaps at hardship posts.

Foreign Service employees from the U.S. Dept. of State (DoS) experience a variety of adverse conditions while assigned to U.S. embassies and consulates that are considered hardship posts (HP). Among these conditions are inadequate med. facilities, few opport. for spousal employ., poor schools, high levels of crime, and severe climate. 60% of 259 diplomatic posts are classified as HP. Many are of strategic interest to the U.S., including those in China, the Middle East, and the former Soviet states. This report reviews DoS's performance in filling positions at HP. It examines: the number, experience, and skills of staff in hardship positions and how these may affect diplomatic readiness; and how well DoS's assignment system is meeting the staffing requirements of HP.

The Department of State (State) has designated about two-thirds of its 268 overseas posts as hardship posts. Staff working at such posts often encounter harsh conditions, including inadequate medical facilities and high crime. Many of these posts are vital to U.S. foreign policy objectives and need a full complement of staff with the right skills to carry out the department's priorities. As such, State offers staff at these posts a hardship differential -- an additional adjustment to basic pay -- to compensate officers for the conditions they encounter and as a recruitment and retention incentive. GAO was asked to assess (1) State's progress in addressing staffing gaps at hardship posts since 2006 and the effect of any remaining gaps, and (2) the extent to which State has used incentives to address staffing gaps at hardship posts. GAO analyzed State data; reviewed relevant documents; met with officials in Washington, D.C.; and conducted fieldwork in five hardship posts. GAO recommends the Secretary of State (1) take steps to minimize the experience gap at hardship posts by making the assignment of experienced officers to such posts an explicit priority consideration, and (2) develop and implement a plan to evaluate incentives for hardship post assignments. State generally agreed with our findings and recommendations.

"Was it the Opportunity of a Lifetime...or an Invitation to Disaster?" The job was intriguing-working for the Aga Khan, the rich and influential imam of the Ismaili Muslims, building the Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi. They said it would be a world-class institution, the best on the subcontinent. But he had his doubts. Yes, Pakistan was exotic, and mysterious, and full of adventure. But he had a good job and a shaky marriage, and Pakistan didn't seem like the right place at the right time. People were being kidnapped and killed over there...the American Embassy at Islamabad had recently been overrun and burned, and next door, Afghanistan had been invaded by Russia. They were making big promises to lure him there...could they pull it off, or was it just hype? In Hardship Post, winner of the 2012 Royal Palm Literary Awards Competition for unpublished memoir, Robert Taylor examines the complexities of being called to serve overseas in a foreign culture, with all the excitement, pitfalls, learning experiences, and challenging lessons. This compelling real-life adventure will keep you captivated from the first page to the last. Award-winning writer Robert Taylor has been an advisor to the World Bank, USAID, WHO, and other international agencies and has worked in thirty countries...none of which had safe drinking water. A native of Minnesota, he now lives with his wife in Punta Gorda, Florida.
