The future of USAID remains uncertain as policymakers, advocates and former officials propose major reforms to how the U.S. delivers foreign assistance. In a recent article by Devex, ideas range from separating development from humanitarian aid to relocating USAID and overhauling its leadership structure. Among the voices featured is Justin Fugle, director of policy at Plan International USA, who emphasizes the need to retain USAID’s institutional knowledge and global leadership role as conversations about restructuring continue.
Fugle notes that while reform can be constructive, it must not come at the cost of U.S. credibility or its ability to deliver results in communities around the world. The article captures a pivotal moment in global development as the aid sector responds to the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle USAID and considers how to rebuild a more effective and responsive foreign assistance model.
