How USAID Cuts Caused Floods in Kenya
About this episode
The episode discusses the consequences of USAID cuts in Kenya, featuring insights from a Bloomberg investigation and an interview with a former USAID director.
Eighteen months after the Trump administration shut down USAID, a painstaking Bloomberg investigation into abandoned water projects in Kenya using interviews, satellite imagery and data analysis has revealed the stark consequences of that decision. On this week’s Next Africa podcast, Bloomberg’s Senior East Africa reporter, Simon Marks, discusses his findings. Former East Africa USAID director Amanda Robertson then explains what happened when they found out their projects had to be halted immediately.
