Beyond USAID: Sustainable Strategies for Humanitarian and Development Success

Beyond USAID: Sustainable Strategies for Humanitarian and Development Success

The closure of USAID has sent shockwaves through the international development community, with USAID funding 40% of global humanitarian aid. Its absence impacts millions, from health services to disaster relief and humanitarian aid. This creates significant challenges in maintaining aid programs.

Some critics argue that USAID was inefficient or misaligned with U.S. interests. Former Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta suggested the aid freeze could be a “wake-up call” for African countries to prioritize self-reliance. Potentially, this revolution can change the face of aid and development.
