Voluntary transfer of resources from one country to another

A humanitarian crisis-- where life has been upset by natural disaster, conflict, or forced displacement-- can disproportionately impact women and girls. Women and girls, at disproportionate risk for gender-based violence, maternal health complications, and barriers to accessing aid, have different requirements in these settings. Julianne Deitch, Associate Director of Research at the Women's Refugee Commission (WRC), looks back with us on this last year's foreign aid cuts and talks to us about the substantial impacts on women and girls in crisis.Before 2025, the U.S. was one of the largest donors to humanitarian aid globally, with aid hovering at 13 billion dollars annually to address immediate needs for population in crises. Still, humanitarian aid made up less than 0.1% of the gross national income. In January 2025, the Trump administration froze all U.S. foreign aid and dismantled U.S. foreign assistance infrastructure (including closing USAID). Over the last year, WRC collected concrete evidence from over 32 countries. They found that women and girls in humanitarian crises: 1) have lost access to necessary health care (maternal health, sexual and reproductive health care, antiviral drugs, and more); 2) are less safe from gender-based violence; and 3) have lost access to women-led, targeted, trusted, local support. Increased funding, advancing the life-saving principle of gender-specific humanitarian aid, supporting local, women-led organizations, and holding governments accountable are all recommendations for addressing this reality.

Another special episode recorded at the CEPR annual symposium in Paris. On 20 Jan 2025 when the Trump administration declared foreign aid “antithetical" to American values and suddenly ended many of its overseas programmes. How many lives were lost as a result, and can others step up to try to minimise that damage? Justin Sandefur is well qualified to speak on this topic – he leads Coefficient Giving's programme on economic growth in low- and middle-income countries and is one of the authors in a chapter on this topic in the recent CEPR book, The Economic Consequences of the Second Trump Administration. Tim Phillips asked him about the consequences of the cuts on global health.
President Trump signed a big bill that included $9 billion for foreign aid. Was it an act of kindness? Greg and Holly discuss with Deseret News Opinion Editor Jay Evensen.
This week, U.S. lawmakers reached a deal on a $50 billion compromise foreign assistance bill. Even though the agreement implements a 16% reduction from what was approved by Congress last year, it defies President Donald Trump's requested 47.7% gutting of the budget. Beyond the numbers, the bill signals a fundamental overhaul of how foreign assistance accounts are managed and structured. From its ripple effects across the global health sector to the critical implications for the African Growth and Opportunity Act extension, we analyze the bill's core priorities and its long-term impact on the global development landscape. Beyond the U.S. budget, we also dive into a deal between Washington and the United Nations. A confidential memorandum of understanding secures $2 billion in U.S. commitment for U.N. humanitarian funding through 2026. We explore where that money is going and what it tells us about U.N. priorities. To dig into these stories, and others, Business Editor David Ainsworth sits down with reporters Adva Saldinger and Colum Lynch for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series. During the sponsored segment of This Week in Global Development, brought to you by Pivotal, Kate Warren sits down with Action for Women's Health grantee Tonya Adair, President & CEO at Alternative for Girls, whose leadership addresses the basic needs of women and girls so they can lead healthy lives.

Foreign aid budgets have been slashed significantly by governments in the United States, Europe, and beyond, raising questions about what humanitarian assistance will look like in practice. Recent and abrupt funding cuts by major donors are already affecting refugee-hosting countries, where resources were strained even before these changes. In this episode of World of Migration, host Lawrence Huang speaks with Micheal Gumisiriza, a program lead based in southwest Uganda for COHERE, an international NGO that works with refugee-led organizations, about how funding cuts by international donors are being felt on the ground—from food assistance and access to essential medicines to education. They discuss what the immediate impacts reveal about the humanitarian system's capacity under pressure, and what “localization” could realistically mean as humanitarian response efforts adjust to a period of shrinking resources.
Read the full transcript here. What is the core public interest case for foreign aid beyond soft power? How should we define safety and prosperity? Why do many voters believe aid is a quarter of the budget when it is a tiny fraction and how does that shape support? How did a political decision to halt awards ripple through real programs and what safeguards failed? What legal and institutional checks should prevent a single administration from impounding funds that Congress appropriated? When government pauses, how can private funders triage the most life saving pieces without letting systems collapse? If an agency is rebuilt, which programs should be protected first and which processes should be redesigned from day one? How do we embed evidence and cost effectiveness at the start of strategy rather than as an afterthought in evaluation? What would it look like to center partner governments in the process so that learning becomes part of their own delivery? How can we avoid a fixation on what is easy to measure while still demanding clear estimates and accountability? What does it mean to meet donors where they are while steering them toward the highest impact use of funds?

U.S. Foreign Service Career Minister (retired) Mark Ward has seen all sides of the U.S. foreign aid, humanitarian assistance, and foreign policy landscape. In this conversation with Jackson School Director Danny Hoffman, Mark reflects on his career in some of the most difficult environments of the past 30 years; the Trump administration's dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID); and the emerging picture of what foreign aid and the foreign service may look like in the years to come.
On the night of his inauguration, President Trump signed an executive order that froze almost all international assistance.What followed was the termination of billions of dollars in aid programs — and the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Mark Wentling is an international development and humanitarian assistance specialist with over 40 years of relevant experience. He attended the U.S. National War College; international strategic studies program for selected senior members of U.S. armed forces and civilian Foreign Service agencies. US foreign assistance to poor people across the globe was a cost-effective and relatively efficient program. The Trump Administration weakened America's soft power reducing influence over the policies of other countries favorable to the US, alienated many of our allies, cut off business, defense, trade and cultural opportunities, destroyed markets for many American farm products and killed thousands of our poorest and sickest allies. By surrendering America's leadership, China, and other frenemies of the US and democracies, will be delighted to fill the leadership vacuum. No low-income country can trust the US again to be a dependable partner. Future assistance programs should focus on 42 of the poorest countries.
Global aid is not just charity, but a shared responsibility and strategic investment rooted in the biblical call to stewardship, compassion, and justice, says Laura Solberg, executive director of Kentro Christian Network, the national hub representing 70 Christian relief and development organizations across Canada. She chats from Vancouver with host Bill Fledderus in Hamilton. https://kentronetwork.ca/
Tonight, we dive into the explosive aftermath of Candace Owens' marathon meeting with Erika Kirk — did it thaw tensions over Charlie Kirk conspiracy claims, or is more drama brewing? Then, Trump's brutal Truth Social roast of the late Rob Reiner (and his "Trump Derangement Syndrome") while tying it to the Obamas' grief. We break down endless U.S. foreign military aid flows amid Trump's second-term shifts. Finally, the real bombshell: how the two-party system is controlled by Israel on both sides — and bold paths forward to break free. No holds barred, unfiltered truth.
Soon after USAID was closed in February, speculation circulated that China would move quickly to fill the void left by the United States. That did not happen. While the Chinese did step in to provide modest additional funding for a handful of programs, like demining initiatives in Cambodia and support for the Africa CDC in Addis Ababa, overall, there's been no significant change in China's foreign aid programs. That did not surprise Alicia Chen, a PhD candidate at Stanford University, who noted in a recent Foreign Affairs article that Beijing is very tactical with where and how it distributes overseas development assistance. Alicia joins Eric to discuss Beijing's foreign aid strategy and how it differs from other major donors.

Can the promise of economic progress ever justify conquest, coercion, and control over other people's lives? Economist William Easterly joins EconTalk's Russ Roberts to argue no--and to rethink what "development" really means in theory, in history, and in our politics today. Drawing on his new book, Violent Saviors: The West's Conquest of the Rest, Easterly explores how colonial powers and later regimes like the Soviet Union claimed to increase people's material well-being while stripping them of freedom, dignity, and any say in their own fate. Russ and Easterly dig into the idea of agency--the ability of people to choose for themselves--through the lens of Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, Kant, Frederick Douglass, and modern debates over foreign aid, autocrats, and technocratic "solutions" imposed from afar.
Our speaker is William Easterly who is a Professor of Economics at NYU and the author of a new book entitled Violent Saviors: The West's Conquest of the Rest. I want to hear from Bill about whether foreign aid has been a source for good in the developing world. I also want to understand the role of experts and whether the World Bank's programs has been successful.

In its newly tabled budget, the federal government announced that over the course of four years there would be a $2.7 billion reduction in international assistance. As Bridget Potasky writes in her November 13th piece on rabble.ca, this announcement has drawn the ire of NGOs who warn it could cause long-term, irreversible harm leaving vulnerable communities without essential medical care, food, and protection at a time when global needs have dramatically risen. This week on rabble radio, we tune in to her conversation with the director of policy and advocacy with Cooperation Canada, Paul Farran. Cooperation Canada is an umbrella group representing more than 100 Canadian non-profits engaged in humanitarian aid efforts and international development. About our guest Paul Farran is the director of policy and advocacy with Cooperation Canada. He works closely with the CSO sector in Canada on parliamentary and government engagement. He has a background working internationally with the United Nations and NGOs in different regions of the world on partnership and government relations issues.

Why won't Labour make rejoining the EU its new "silver bullet" against Nigel Farage? A listener challenges Ed Balls and George Osborne on tackling the "political third rail" of Brexit. Ed argues the EU wouldn't even want the UK back on its old terms - likely forcing the Euro and Schengen - while George predicts Britain will inevitably "creep back" towards the Single Market.Then, a direct question from the Gates Foundation confronts the former Chancellors on the 40% cut to foreign aid. George, the Chancellor who delivered the 0.7% target, blasts the "remarkably silent" and "compliant" aid community, delivering a stark warning to "get louder" or face even more cuts.Plus, with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepping down, could Ed and George be the new hosts of Strictly Come Dancing? The pair reveal how unscripted the podcast really is, George shares his favorite TikTok restaurant reviewer, and Ed reacts to his "hot phase" going viral on social media…Thanks for listening.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, Nate Thurston tackles an array of ridiculous stories from the past week. Topics include the lighter sentence for a transgender individual who plotted to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the ongoing support for violent rhetoric in politics, disputes over healthcare costs, Josh Hawley's anti-capitalist remarks, and rampant anti-Semitic accusations for posts supporting America.

Mike Sperrazza and Mike Hoeflich kick things off with the Buffalo Bills' tough loss to the Patriots and a quick check-in on the Sabres before diving into the real battles in Washington. The hosts tackle Donald Trump's role in global peace efforts, government spending, and the hypocrisy behind funding illegal immigrants while America faces crushing debt. They call out soft-on-crime judges, discuss repeat offenders walking free, and question how the justice system lost its moral compass. From political accountability to the erosion of values, this episode delivers blunt, unapologetic commentary on the issues dividing America.(00:00:47) Buffalo Bills' Strong Conference Position Amidst Loss(00:07:18) The US Election Fraud Debate(00:13:13) National Debt Impact on Foreign Aid(00:16:00) Sentencing Disparity in Judicial System Reform(00:18:25) Incarceration for Public Safety: Repeat Offenders
The end of USAID was among the biggest early controversies of President Donald Trump's second term. The world watched in horror as Elon Musk's DOGE took a chainsaw to U.S. foreign assistance, placing millions of lives at risk with brutal across-the-board cuts.But few people realize how much has changed since then. Behind the scenes, aid money was largely restored—for now. And instead of making grandiose fraud accusations, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has begun embracing aid in public, laying out promising plans to address problems long recognized by technocrats.Rachel Bonnifield is a leading global health expert and proud member of the NGO ecosystem denounced by Trump officials—yet she admires much of their new strategy. She joins The World Unpacked to make a surprising case for many Trump reforms, while also warning of risks, including the potential for more disruptions in the coming months.
The Third World suffers from a lack of economic development due to its lack of rights of private property, its government-imposed production controls, and its acceptance of government foreign aid that squeezes out private investment. The result is too little productive savings, investment, entrepreneurship, and market opportunity. – Murray N. Rothbard, Making Economic Sense, p. […]

President Trump's pressure campaign to take action against perceived adversaries is unrelenting. Mary and Andrew start this week by breaking down a public push for Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute Trump's political foes, just as Virginia's U.S. Attorney was ousted for failing to bring charges against Letitia James and Jim Comey. The focus then turns to the government's attempt to control critics and silence opposition after last week's abrupt suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, backed by FCC Chair Brendan Carr, as well as what the president designating ANTIFA as a “terrorist organization” actually means. On the flip side comes the effort to dismiss investigations into those aligned with Trump's cause. See MSNBC's reporting on the FBI bribery investigation into “Border Czar” Tom Homan that was shut down after Trump returned to office.

Last week's fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk was deeply disturbing, and as Andrew establishes at the start, “murder is murder” and those responsible must be held to account. So Mary and Andrew begin with where the investigation stands and how the FBI has handled the case, as well as the lawsuit filed against FBI Director Kash Patel over alleged politically motivated firings at the Bureau. Then, co-editor-in-chief of Just Security, Ryan Goodman stops in to share his research around the end of “the presumption of regularity” in the Trump era, amid growing frustration from many lower courts. And lastly, Andrew and Mary dig into the latest twists and turns in the President's attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook.A note to listeners: After today's recording, Tyler Robinson was charged with felony aggravated murder, among other charges.Further reading: Here is Ryan Goodman's research in Just Security: The “Presumption of Regularity” in Trump Administration LitigationAnd a reminder: There are still tickets available for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

After a Labor Day weekend that saw a judge halt the Trump administration's attempt to deport dozens of Guatemalan children already loaded onto airplanes, Andrew and Mary had planned to start their conversation there. But just this morning, Judge Charles Breyer ruled the administration cannot deploy U.S. military to carry out law enforcement operations, as this violates the Posse Comitatus Act. Andrew and Mary provide historical context for the act and walk us through the rationale of this latest ruling. Then, they take a beat on moves to oust two more Trump appointed U.S. Attorneys in California and Nevada who have yet to be congressionally approved. And last up, they review several big cases on tariffs, Lisa Cook, and cuts to foreign aid.Further reading: Here is Judge Thomas T.
