Share Your US Aid Cut Impact Story

The impacts of U.S. foreign aid cuts are not uniform. Some are immediate, when clinics close, staff are laid off, and programs scale back. Others emerge quietly as supply chains falter or outcomes decline. And in some cases, cuts prompt new efficiencies or local adaptation.

Devex's The Aid Report is a journalist-led initiative to document these shifts worldwide. The information you contribute here will be verified according to The Aid Report's editorial guidelines and added to a public database. By sharing what you’re seeing or hearing — large or small — you can help build a clearer picture of how these changes are unfolding on the ground.

The Aid Report is funded by a media grant from Gates Foundation. Devex maintains full editorial independence.

🔒 Privacy note: At the end of this survey, you will choose how your information is shared. This form does not automatically collect IP addresses or login information. Only The Aid Report editors will view responses for verification and possible inclusion in reporting.
Section 1: About the Situation
1.Country or region (or if global, please indicate here)(Required.)
2.Village, town, or city
3.Date or time period of the observed change(Required.)
4.What happened or is happening?(Required.)
Note: Please describe what you’ve observed or heard. This might be a clear consequence (a program closed, staff laid off), or a subtler change (community meetings paused, local partners struggling to fill gaps, or a new group stepping up). Even small details help us trace broader trends.

Examples:
“A maternal health clinic in rural Malawi closed after USAID support ended in March, leaving only one nurse for 10 villages.”

“Since the USAID grant for agricultural training ended, the weekly farmer meetings still happen — but now they’re led by the village chairperson instead of the NGO field officer. Attendance has dropped, but the group has started experimenting with new drought-resistant crops they learned about through another project.”

Example: Feed the Future, PEPFAR, specific USAID education program, etc.
