USAID Shutdown: A Disaster or Long Overdue? | Bigger than Five
What happens when the world’s biggest donor walks away? The Trump administration has dismantled USAID, slashing billions in foreign aid and shutting down potentially life-saving programs – from HIV treatment to maternal care and food aid – leaving millions at risk. Former USAID chief Brian Atwood calls it “a very irresponsible act”, warning that hundreds of thousands will die as a result.But former African Union Ambassador to the US Arikana Chihombori-Quao argues USAID has long meddled in Africa’s politics and fuelled conflict. She says it's time for countries to break free and for new institutions to be created that are fair, independent, and truly represent the will and interests of the people.
