How much did the U.S. Agency for International Development give through its assistance mechanism in the last fiscal year — and who got the most money?
Based on the data from USASpending.gov, USAID obligated $21.9 billion in the fiscal year that ended in September 2022 through grants and cooperative agreements, known as the assistance mechanism.
This is up $5.1 billion from the previous year — an increase of more than 30%.
