The recent dismantling of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) by the Donald Trump administration is expected to have far-reaching consequences for African nations, particularly Kenya.
Local economic experts now warn that the abrupt decision will severely impact the global aid sector. "Without USAID, we are facing dire circumstances.
Within weeks, we will see deaths, drug shortages, suspension of crucial services, budget cuts, and mass layoffs.
The economy will be significantly affected," said an economist who requested anonymity due to his consultancy work with USAID in Nairobi.
