The Trump administration is set to significantly downsize the U.S. Agency for International Development, reducing its workforce from over 10,000 to around 290 positions. The trimmed agency will focus primarily on health and humanitarian assistance. This move faces pushback from U.S.A.I.D. officials who have submitted lists of essential personnel to the State Department to maintain critical programs. Additionally, approximately 800 agency-administered awards and contracts will be canceled as officials ready for nearly all direct hires to go on indefinite leave, alongside the termination of most contractor work orders.
The Trump administration's planned reductions at U.S.A.I.D. will cut staff from over 10,000 to approximately 290, focusing on health and humanitarian assistance.
