Samia M Joseph

Samia M. Joseph serves as a Human Resources Officer at USAID/Egypt, where she plays a pivotal role in supporting the agency’s workforce development and institutional capacity-building initiatives. Her procurement responsibilities center on securing professional services that enhance human capital strategies, organizational effectiveness, and public sector workforce modernization. She manages acquisitions aligned with USAID’s mission to strengthen governance and economic resilience through targeted technical assistance, frequently engaging contractors to deliver training, organizational development, and human resources system design services. Her work ensures that USAID’s programs are supported by skilled, locally embedded talent and sustainable institutional frameworks. While no specific contractor relationships are currently available in the procurement record, Ms. Joseph collaborates with a diverse array of professional services firms, including international development consultants, HR technology providers, and local Egyptian capacity-building organizations. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in public sector reform, workforce analytics, and adult learning methodologies. She fosters collaborative, performance-based partnerships that emphasize measurable outcomes in organizational efficiency and employee development. Ms. Joseph’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs.

Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), which encompasses organizational development, HR consulting, and technical assistance for public institutions. She also procures services under NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services) and 561990 (All Other Support Services), reflecting demand for specialized training, administrative support, and workforce management solutions. Her domain expertise centers on human capital systems, institutional strengthening, and workforce readiness in complex development environments.
