The end of USAID: Why is it Africa’s moment?

African experts warn that overreliance on a single donor or geopolitical bloc (e.g., USAID) poses significant security and economic risks to the continent. The vulnerability stems from a lack of diversified funding and reliance on external aid, which could be weaponized or withdrawn abruptly. African nations and institutions dependent on such aid face potential instability, reduced sovereignty, and operational disruptions.
