The Trump administration is set to significantly reduce the workforce at the US Agency for International Development (USAID), with fewer than 300 people expected to remain employed at the agency. This move will result in the majority of direct hires being placed on leave as of Friday at midnight.
USAID, which currently has around 10,000 personnel worldwide, including numerous contractors, is facing a substantial downsizing. Many contractors have already been furloughed or terminated as part of this restructuring.
