Talent Requirements for International Aid and Development

Talent requirements for the international aid and development sector are different than for other sectors. Individuals employed in this sector are frequently highly specialized technical experts in specific areas such as education, agriculture and water.

For matching the right talent to a position, it’s crucial to know their specific credentials. Because these candidates are so specialized, the talent pool is limited. In addition, language, communication and problem-solving abilities are just some of the soft skills that personnel in this sector are required to have from the moment they first accept a position.

The International Aid and Development Sector

The U.S. has long been a major proponent of foreign aid and development to help overseas countries and areas in need. As such, the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 was established to streamline our country’s global aid efforts. Today, these efforts consist of funding and goods, as well as health care, technical assistance, educational programming and more. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, in 2016, the federal government spent an estimated $49 billion in aid — including security and military assistance.

There are also international organizations that provide developmental aid, such as the World Bank and various United Nations Agencies. Plus, several private organizations provide assistance, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
