Mirjam de Bruijn in LUALA Beats podcast: the end of aid?

In this episode op LUALA Beats, anthropologist Mirjam de Bruijn, historian of American humanitarianism Julia Irwin,  and development scholar Joana Vondee discuss the history of American aid in Africa. Trump’s dismantling of USAID, which was established by President John F. Kennedy to counter Soviet influence and promote U.S. interests, raises questions about the growing humanitarian funding gap, assesing effectiveness of international aid, and the role of international aid in an increasingly polarising world.
