The dismantling of USAID by the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, has sparked intense debate. While critics point to rising preventable deaths and humanitarian consequences in Africa, supporters argue foreign aid fostered dependency. Former Liberian minister W. Gyude Moore and Ghanaian President John Mahama argue that the aid shock must compel African nations to build stronger domestic institutions and manage resource wealth transparently rather than relying on foreign capitals.
