DESCRIPTION:Lund Critical Debate\n\nSince January 2025\, the United States 
 has slashed billions in international aid—and effectively dismantled the U.
 S. Agency for International Development (USAID)\, responsible for administe
 ring U.S. development and humanitarian aid around the world. In what has be
 come the largest restructuring of aid in the nation’s history\, thousands o
 f UN-administered programs have also lost funding\, disrupting critical pro
 grams and services\, breaking supply chains\, and leading to widespread clo
 sures and layoffs.\n\nThese sweeping cuts affect food security\, global hea
 lth\, democratic governance\, and more—and the stakes have never been highe
 r. As the landscape of international aid evolves\, the world faces new ques
 tions about the impact of aid on communities\, what makes international aid
  effective—and how to move forward.\n\nThis year's Lund debate from the Mar
 io Einaudi Center for International Studies brings together policy and prac
 tice experts for an unfiltered look at the future of international aid. Joi
 n Einaudi Center faculty Chris Barrett (Dyson/Brooks) and Muna Ndulo (Law) 
 as they tackle these questions: Who benefits from aid? Do some types of aid
  work better than others? Should we pursue new approaches to international 
 development? What are the best ways to take strategic action in the world w
 hile investing in America’s security\, economy\, and global position?\n\n**
