The Mission Environmental Officer (MEO) is the environmental compliance official, designated in each Mission, responsible for overseeing implementation of the regulations and the Agency’s policies and procedures (ADS 204). The MEO provides advice to the Mission Director and Mission teams, including program officers, project/activity managers, and technical evaluation committees on implementation of environmental compliance requirements. The MEO supports the integration of environmental compliance into planning, design, and implementation of Agency actions, as well as strategy development. The MEO leads the provision of capacity building to Mission staff, implementing partners and host country government and ensures that compliance requirements are monitored.
