Donald Trump hat das Entwicklungsprogramm USAID zerlegt und Gelder für Afrika eingefroren. Was nun? Die Tansanierin Frannie Léautier, ehemalige Vizedirektorin der Weltbank, fordert ein Umdenken auf dem Kontinent.
Donald Trump significantly impacted U.S. development aid by freezing nearly all funding for USAID, particularly affecting critical sectors like health in Africa. Frannie Léautier, a development expert, calls for African countries to reduce reliance on foreign aid, highlighting the sudden loss of budgets for HIV/AIDS and maternal health due to USAID dependence. Trump's transactional approach contrasts with previous aid models, exemplified by deals like offering mineral resources for support. China has stepped in to fill the funding gap, increasing its presence in Africa. Léautier sees Trump's actions as a wake-up call, urging Africa to adapt and become more self-reliant.
