Most USAID employees will be returned on administrative leave by the Trump administration, starting at midnight on Sunday.
About 2000 employees will also be fired in efforts to “reduce power”, said the administrator's office in email to employees received by CBS News, the US partner of the BBC.
This move comes weeks after President Donald Trump initially tried to remove thousands of USAID officials, but firing faces a legal challenge.
The Federal Judge has temporarily stopped the administration plan to numb the US Agency for Foreign Aid, but on Friday the pause will not be constant.
Employee announcement clarifies that the “designated staff” responsible for critical functions or in management will be released. It is unclear how many employees were considered critical.
Judge Carl Nichols ruled on Friday that the Trump administration could continue its plans to get rid of employees by rejecting applicants requests to stop the government's plan to move on.
The Sunday announcement notes the most in a series of moves from the Trump administration to reduce federal labor and reduce costs.
These efforts are guided by billionaire Trump Elon Musk adviser, who has loaded millions of bureaucrats over the weekend, listing their achievements from the week.
The couple is critical of significant overseas costs in America and USAID has become a goal of their powerlessness. Trump claims that the agency did not comply with the political priorities of America First.
On Saturday, from the stage of a conservative convention outside Washington, Trump again focused on the agency for help: “We also effectively stopped the left fraud known as the USAID. The agency's name has been removed from its previous building and this space will now have agents from customs and border patrols. ”
In the meantime, Musk, earlier, claims that the Aid Agency is a “criminal organization” and that Trump has agreed to “close it”.
Musk did not provide evidence to support his claim.
The USAID employs about 10,000 people, two -thirds of whom work abroad, according to the Congress Research Service.
The email to the staff said USAID intends to fund a voluntary trip to return employees abroad.
Trump's interruptions to USAID – supported by Musk – have already increased the global aid system. Hundreds of programs have been frozen in countries around the world since the president announced his intentions in January.
The United States is the largest lonely humanitarian aid provider around the world. He has bases in more than 60 countries and works in dozens of others, with much of his work done by his performers.
“When you take out all this, you send some very dangerous messages,” former USAID boss Gail Smith Early said to the BBCS “The United States signals that we are not openly interested in whether people live or die and that we are not a reliable partner.”
