The beginning of 2025 saw significant cuts to US foreign aid, most notably with the dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Since its establishment in 1961, USAID has implemented programs in global health, disaster relief, socioeconomic development, environmental protection, democratic governance and education. What are the implications of the sharp funding cuts and other changes to U.S. foreign aid efforts both for the countries that USAID worked in as well as the U.S.' strategic interests and leadership around the world?

This program will feature several panelists with extensive expertise and experience working on development and humanitarian projects for USAID in countries around the world such as Haiti, Sri Lanka, Uganda and Kenya. The speakers will share their insights on the recent changes and cuts to U.S. foreign aid and perspectives on the future of foreign aid.
