Radical Simplification: A Practical Way to Get More Out of Limited Foreign Assistance Budgets

Rachel Glennerster
and
Siddhartha Haria
April 21, 2025
With major cuts to foreign assistance announced or anticipated in the US, the UK, and across the EU, and in the World Bank’s subsidized lending program, we must urgently work to get the most out of shrinking aid budgets. Nothing can prevent the cuts from leading to deaths, but we can still do better...

With Less Education Aid Available, Should Donors Focus on Helping Governments Spend Better?

Biniam Bedasso
April 17, 2025
With donor priorities shifting and global crises competing for attention, the future of development aid—particularly for social sectors like education—has rarely been more uncertain. Given the dramatic reductions in US aid and impending cuts by other donors such as the UK, low- and middle-income cou...

Thinking Through Waste, Fraud and Corruption in US Foreign Assistance

Charles Kenny
March 21, 2025
The US Administration has presented a weak case for its argument that US foreign assistance was so riddled with abuse and fraud that the only answer was to shut down USAID and reboot. The lists of terrible projects and “appalling waste” don’t show any evidence of fraud or abuse, and I’d argue most o...

Lessons of Experience for a USAID-State Merger

Charles Kenny
March 18, 2025
The Trump Administration has signaled that it would like to shut down USAID and absorb its programs into the State Department. That proposal should involve Congress directly, as USAID is an independent agency established under legislation. And lawmakers might want to consult the international record...

Breaking Down Prime Minister Starmer’s Aid Cut

Ian Mitchell
and
Sam Hughes
February 26, 2025
Yesterday, the UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that he would fund an increase in the UK’s defence spending by cutting to its aid budget from 0.5 percent of gross national income (GNI) now, to 0.3 percent in 2027. In this blog, we explain what this will mean in practice.

26 Countries Are Most Vulnerable to US Global Health Aid Cuts. Can Other Funders Bridge the Gap?

Pete Baker et al.
February 25, 2025
In this blog, we conceptualise this as a health system shock, present a back-of-the-envelope assessment of LMICs that are most exposed, and discuss possibilities for short-term policy responses from other funders and LMIC governments, drawing lessons from the rapid global response to COVID-19.

Lee Crawfurd
February 13, 2025

Dear Secretary Rubio: You Are Right, Foreign Assistance Works. Please Resume It.

Charles Kenny
February 05, 2025
Dear Secretary Rubio: There have been few more eloquent advocates for foreign assistance than you. And I believe the case you make for US aid is backed up by considerable empirical evidence. As you have said, “millions of human beings are alive today because [of] the United States, and others in the...

Unilateral Disarmament Is Not in Our Interest

Nancy Lee
February 03, 2025
In 1948, Congress overwhelmingly passed what would become known as the Marshall Plan. That act appropriated $13.3 billion over 1948-51 for Europe’s recovery, equivalent to about $150 billion today. It was proposed by a former general, not an economist or a politician, a man who understood well what ...
