Join us for a conversation on how the recent decision to close USAID will reshape American global influence and the future of international development.
The dismantling of USAID marks the end of a six-decade era in American foreign assistance and humanitarian response. This shift will not only reshape international development and disaster relief, but also how the United States conducts diplomacy and projects soft power worldwide. How will the absence of USAID impact global stability, security, and America’s standing in the world? How will this affect the numerous communities that USAID has worked with around the globe? Join the Council for a discussion on what USAID's closure means for the future of American soft power and international development.
