America’s Foreign Aid Retrenchment: Implications for US-Japan Cooperation
In January 2025, the US government shocked the world by abruptly freezing its foreign assistance, a move that eventually led to the termination of roughly two-thirds of US-funded projects and the dismantling of USAID.
This groundbreaking report from the United States-Japan Foundation and Peace Winds America compiles analysis from top policy experts as well as firsthand insights from on the ground in hard-hit communities to paint a picture of how the American foreign aid retrenchment is transforming the development and humanitarian sectors. It documents the impact that the dramatic US policy shift has had on vulnerable communities, how it has weakened the basic infrastructure of the development sector, what this means for Japan and other major donors, and how the United States and Japan might reenvision US-Japan development cooperation going forward.
