The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was created in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy as part of the broader initiative to promote development and support the advancement of economic and social progress in developing countries. Its creation marked a shift in U.S. foreign policy toward a more structured and focused approach to international aid. The formation of USAID was grounded in the belief that economic assistance could foster stability, promote democracy, and reduce the conditions that led to global conflicts, especially during the Cold War era.
USAID was established under the Foreign Assistance Act, and its mission was to manage U.S. foreign aid programs, including health, education, agriculture, and infrastructure development. It was envisioned as a way to support countries striving to improve their economic standing, reduce poverty, and build institutions capable of promoting sustainable growth. Initially, the agency’s efforts were highly concentrated in regions that were considered vulnerable to communist influence, like Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, reflecting the geopolitical concerns of the time.
Despite its noble intentions, USAID has faced criticism and allegations of misuse over the decades. The agency’s efforts have often been seen as intertwined with U.S. foreign policy interests, especially during the Cold War. Some critics argue that USAID has at times acted as a tool of political and economic imperialism, with its aid being tied to American strategic goals rather than the welfare of the receiving countries. In many cases, aid was used to prop up friendly regimes, regardless of their human rights records or commitment to democratic principles.
A prominent example of USAID’s misuse is its involvement in Latin America during the 1970s and 1980s. In countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, USAID funds were often directed toward military and security assistance under the guise of promoting development and supporting authoritarian regimes that were aligned with U.S. interests. This aid helped prolong civil conflicts, with the U.S. effectively using its resources to stabilize governments that were often brutal and repressive, under the premise of containing communism. In this context, USAID’s mission shifted from poverty alleviation to the preservation of political order that was favorable to U.S. interests.
USAID’s involvement in Afghanistan provides another example of its misapplication. After the U.S. invasion in 2001, billions of dollars in aid flowed into the country. However, much of this aid failed to reach the intended beneficiaries, with corruption and inefficiencies plaguing the reconstruction efforts. Many of the projects funded by USAID were poorly designed, lacked coordination, and were not sustainable, leading to a waste of resources. In some instances, USAID’s efforts inadvertently contributed to the empowerment of warlords and corrupt factions, undermining the goal of building a stable and democratic state.
Additionally, the agency has often been criticized for its ties to U.S. businesses and contractors. Critics argue that aid has sometimes been funneled to American companies, rather than local actors, perpetuating a cycle where aid is used to benefit U.S. corporations more than the people it is meant to serve. This dynamic has led to concerns about the effectiveness and accountability of USAID’s projects.
While USAID was founded to promote development and humanitarian relief, its effectiveness has often been compromised by political, economic, and strategic interests. Over the decades, the agency’s aid programs have been misused, serving to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives of Neocons, the CIA, and endless war types at the expense of genuine development goals. The challenge remains for USAID to realign its priorities to ensure that its aid is directed where it is most needed and that it can truly serve the development goals of the countries it aims to assist.
Elon Musk has recently said that the USAID is rotten to the core and can’t be saved, Musk of DOGE calls for its abolishment. Instead of taking that advice, President Trump has looked to save it by putting Secretary of State Marco Rubio in charge of it. Elon said Marco is great for this but I say the Deep State cannot be managed by Republicans but destroyed, so it is not used once again by the Democrats in the future when they are back in power. USAID must go and that should be the first tangible thing out of DOGE, we did not send these guys to manage the Deep State, we sent them to tear it all down.
