Title: New Report: Staffing and Foreign Language Shortfalls Persist Despite Initiatives to Address Gaps
Body: From http://www.gao.gov/htext/d06894.html August 2006 Department Of State Staffing and Foreign Language Shortfalls Persist Despite Initiatives to Address Gaps Why GAO Did This Study: GAO has reported in recent years on a number of human capital issues that have hampered the Department of State's 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 report discusses 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. What GAO Found: State has made progress in addressing staffing shortages since implementing the DRI. However, the initiative did not fully meet its goals, and mid-level vacancies remain a problem at many posts, including some critical to the war on terror. Read the full report at http://www.gao.gov/htext/d06894.html .
