After USAID: What Now for Aid and Africa?

Abstract

This editorial discusses the implications of the United States withdrawal of funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the potential consequences for health and development aid in Africa. It reflects on how abrupt cuts in external assistance may disrupt established health programs, undermine progress made in public health, and necessitate rethinking of aid strategies to enhance resilience and support sustainable domestic systems in African countries.
