Which sectors are most vulnerable to US aid cuts

It’s been a month since the Trump administration launched a series of attacks on the U.S. Agency for International Development. The effects across sectors — from global health supply chain, and scholarship programs, to emergency response — have been disastrous.

Devex has been reporting on the day-to-day development since the start stop-work order. We have also provided in-depth analyses of existing USAID data to map out the expanse of the aid freeze.

In this analysis, we look into the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s creditor reporting system, or CRS, to identify the U.S.’s sectoral priorities. The latest final data is only up to 2023, but it can still provide a rough overview of which sectors are likely to get hit most by the ongoing purge.
