The article discusses the misleading claims made by Republicans regarding the percentage of USAID funding that directly aids people in need. Rep. Brian Mast suggested that only 10 to 30 cents of every dollar goes to aid, which paints a concerning picture. However, this overlooks the substantial funding that supports local organizations and development efforts. A USAID report indicates that around 12.1% of its total funding serves to bolster local entities, demonstrating that much of the spending is indeed dedicated to essential humanitarian needs rather than bureaucracy.
Mast's claim misleads as he focuses on only a portion of USAID funding while ignoring critical direct aid contributions that support local organizations.
The majority of USAID funding is indeed dedicated to humanitarian efforts, contrary to the misleading narrative suggesting it favors bureaucratic spending over aid.
