International affairs organization design models

Examples of international affairs delivery model options include:

  • Decentralized.  Most international services are delivered at the sector/program level within the agency.  A small international function at the corporate level plays mainly a coordination role.

  • Hybrid model.  The corporate international affairs function is responsible for the overall strategy, broader research and policy advisory activities, and the implementation of specific initiatives or projects on a joint basis with programs and/or portfolio partners.  Branches are responsible for international activities that are closely related to domestic programs, or require specialized technical expertise of program staff.

  • Centralized model.  All or most international services are delivered at the corporate level.  Sectors/branches are clients of international affairs.
