USAID

Below I linked an interesting site to wallow through. One of the interesting pages I came across: at the top of the page, click on Dashboard. When that comes up, find Fiscal Year and scroll down to 2024. Under Funding Phase, scroll down to Disbursements. Then go down to the middle of the page where they show the amounts of disbursements and the agency involved. You see that a lot of those are money from USAID. But even more interesting, the ones that are marked State Department are marked “U.S. Department of State Contractual Services provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).” So, the top 7 disbursements, a total of almost $10 billion was all routed through, for, and by USAID. You can also see the disbursements by country – choose that Countries tab at the top and then on the left choose the country. Lots of countries with USAID goodies for the “right folks”. https://www.foreignassistance.gov/
