The suspension of U.S. foreign aid marks a significant shift in global development policy, creating major challenges around the world. The Penn Development Research Initiative – DevLab@Penn (PDRI-DevLab) at the University of Pennsylvania invites you to the second webinar in a three part series that explores the impact of the rollback of U.S. foreign aid on people and institutions abroad. The webinar, taking place on Wednesday, March 19 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM, will feature researchers and practitioners from countries that have been affected by recent cuts in U.S. foreign aid. Panelists will discuss the consequences of these cuts on a range of topics, including refugees and resettlement programs to health systems and freedom of the press.

Our goal is to deepen public understanding of what foreign aid truly entails and to highlight the real-world stakes of its suspension from the perspectives of those directly engaged in the work.

This event is co-sponsored by Penn Global, the Behavioral Economics and Global Health Insights (BEGIN) Lab, the Environmental Innovations Initiative, the Center for Global Health, the Christopher H. Browne Center for International Politics, and Perry World House.
