World Affairs Council Monterey Bay presents: “Do We Need Foreign Aid?” Lecture

Description

In the belief that our foreign aid program has not served our national interest, the new Administration has dismantled the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and froze nearly all the contracts and grants that it funded. Our guest, Mark Ward, worked for USAID in the Foreign Service for over 30 years in some of the world’s most dangerous places. Ward will discuss the need for long overdue reform of our foreign aid program but argue that the United States will suffer without foreign aid.
