Beschleunigung von USAID Kürzungen Verfälschende lebensrettende Programme, Hilfsgruppen warnen

The pace of change has jumped since Wednesday, when the White House unveiled plans to cut more than 90% of contracts held by USAID, which has been the world’s largest single aid provider for decades. In January, an official freeze on foreign aid was cast as part of a temporary review. 

Some of the programs at risk support drought-prone populations in Africa, school feeding programs in West Africa, outreach to youth at risk of recruitment to extremist organizations like the Islamic State group, and public health efforts focused on HIV/AIDS, according to multiple officials familiar with the cuts.
