Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied online for this job through a USAID contractor. About 3 weeks later, I got scheduled for a Skype interview. It was a panel interview with 4 people: 3 from USAID and 1 from the contractor. The questions were pretty standard. It really helped that I had researched the program beforehand because they seemed impressed by my existing knowledge. A few hours after the interview, I found out I was a finalist. About 2 weeks after that, I had another phone interview with the head of the department. A week after that second interview, they offered me the job. The whole process from applying to getting the offer took about 6 weeks.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
So, the interview process started with a written test, and immediately after, I had an oral interview in person. The test wasn't too hard, but I could've used a bit more time to double-check my answers. The interview itself was quite formal with four people from USAID present. About four weeks later, I got a call inviting me to the next stage, which also involved a written test and an oral interview. Unfortunately, a few weeks after that, I learned they had chosen someone else.
