The news cycle is dizzying. To organize my thoughts around US foreign aid and the closure of USAID, I wrote a piece that came out in March in The Conversation. The British aid agency DFID suffered a similar fate to the US Agency for International Development. Link below.
I also had a chance to speak briefly about this on TV and radio – see WCAX and KCBS stories.
I’m not sure this comparison offers much hope for champions of foreign aid, but it does offer context.
