USAID has provided resources to over 130 nations, accounting for 42 percent of the humanitarian aid tracked by the United Nations. Until 2023, its funding averaged around 40 billion dollars per year. After cuts to positions and resources, the agency’s budget has now been reduced to approximately 100 million dollars. The freezing and blocking of USAID’s domestic workforce have had the most evident and severe consequences abroad. While the number of workers fired in the US amounts to just over 1,500 employees, the agency employs over 10,000 people around the globe.
