In a shocking move, the U.S. government is slashing USAID’s workforce from approximately 14,000 employees to just 294. This massive cut comes as discussions intensify around dissolving the agency entirely.
Push to Abolish USAID
Rep. Greg Steube has introduced a bill proposing to eliminate the agency, shifting its responsibilities to the U.S. Department of State. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reinforced the move, stating that only 294 staffs are necessary to oversee its operations.
Funding Cuts and Global Impact
The restructuring is already affecting global initiatives. BBC Media Action, the BBC’s international charity arm, has expressed concerns over an 8% reduction in funding, which could hinder its humanitarian work.
What’s Next?
With one of the biggest workforce reductions in history and legislative efforts to dissolve the agency, the future of U.S. foreign aid remains uncertain.
