For decades, USAID has played a major role in funding healthcare, education, and development across Africa. But with shifting U.S. priorities and discussions around reducing aid, the big question is: What happens next?
In this episode of the Africanews debates, our expert panel dives into the real impact of USAID’s potential exit.
