The United States President Donald Trump's administration has proposed several reforms to streamline the country's foreign aid policy to align with America's core objectives.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who spoke on Tuesday, May 20, said Trump's administration was seeking to implement the frontline diplomacy, granting US embassies in different nations, including Kenya, extra authority to decide foreign programmes to be funded by America.
According to Rubio, by implementing the frontline diplomacy, America, through its embassies, would be able to make more informed decisions by choosing the right foreign programmes to fund. "I want more of that in the department, and I want to empower embassies to be able to make decisions about which programmes we should be funding, where the money should be going," Rubio said.
