I just googled USAid. I am not sure what the cash transfer of 770 million to Jordan is about:
Which countries does it support?
USAID had projects in around 130 countries in 2023, the most recent year for which full data was available, according to CRS.
The top three recipients of aid are Ukraine, Ethiopia and Jordan respectively.
The scale of USAID’s funding for Ukraine is significant, with the war-torn European country receiving more than $16 billion in macroeconomic support, according to US government data.
In 2023, 70 of the 77 countries the World Bank determined to be low- and lower-middle income countries received USAID assistance, the CRS report noted.
Other top recipients of aid include the Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, South Sudan, and Syria.
What does USAID fund?
Close to $17 billion in USAID funding in 2023 went to addressing “governance” issues, the CRS said, noting that most of that was destined for Ukraine.
Additionally, around $10.5 billion went to addressing humanitarian issues, while $7 billion was set aside for health, and around $1.3 billion went to agriculture.
USAID also provided direct budgetary support to several countries around the world, including a cash transfer of more than $770 million to the government of Jordan, a key US ally in the Middle East, according to US government data.
Other major programs funded or managed by USAID in 2023 include $811 million for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and more than $330 million in emergency food and nutrition assistance for Afghanistan.
The White House published a statement on Monday highlighting the “waste and abuse” it said existed at USAID, including $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities.”
