Less Aid, Less Peacemaking?

Changes in US foreign policy, from sweeping cuts to foreign assistance to shifting diplomatic priorities, are sending ripples through humanitarian operations around the world. Those effects are especially resonant in Africa, where conflicts like the civil wars in Sudan and Ethiopia are raging, and the linked crises of displacement and hunger are straining communities and the organizations attempting to serve them amidst the crisis.

Join us for an online conversation with Declan Walsh, chief Africa correspondent for The New York Times, and Murithi Mutiga, Africa Program Director at the International Crisis Group, as they examine how US policy changes are affecting crises and responses on the continent, what is being lost or reimagined on the ground, and what comes next. Daniel Schneiderman, Director of Global Policy Programs at Penn Washington, will moderate.
