John Barsa is an American businessman and consultant who formerly served as the United States Agency for International Development Acting Administrator in 2020. The White House requested that he assume the position of USAID Acting Deputy Administrator on November 7, 2020, which effectively circumvented the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 and would have required that he step down and leave the administrator's post vacant.
