Acting USAID Director and Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reportedly downsizing the bureaucratic agency, retaining only 294 of the agency’s 14,000 employees worldwide. This move cuts 97% of USAID’s staff

An internal document shared by former USAID assistant administrator for global health Atul Gawande reveals the specifics of these cuts:

  • Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA): Maintains 70 program staff globally, with 8 additional personnel in Washington, D.C., totaling 78.
  • Bureau for Global Health (GH): Preserves 69 program staff globally, supplemented by 8 in Washington, D.C., rounding up to 77.
  • Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC): Cuts deeply, retaining no program staff, only 4 each from overseas and Washington, totaling 8.
  • Europe and Eurasia (E&E): Slightly less affected, keeping 2 program staff, with an additional 8 split between overseas and Washington, totaling 10.
  • Asia: Follows LAC with no program staff retained, balancing the numbers with 4 overseas and 4 in Washington, totaling 8.
  • Africa: Minimally staffed with 4 program personnel, supported by 4 each from overseas and Washington, totaling 12.
  • Middle East: Retains a relatively higher count of 13 program staff, with 8 others split between overseas and Washington, totaling 21.
  • Management: Maintains all 75 staff, signaling the prioritization of internal stability and oversight.
  • The substantial reduction leaves only 2% of the original workforce to continue USAID’s mission.

Rubio claims that lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa. pic.twitter.com/8uvyjcXKeA

It can be recalled on Wednesday that United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has placed its global employees on administrative leave and ordered them to return to the U.S. . .

Which one should shut it down? (((Red Team))) or (((Blue Team)))? Maybe we need (((Green Team))) for this one? :)

Zero people came out to tell us what they have been doing for decades. The whole body is full of rot and cannot be saved. It must be cleansed with fire.

This needs to be monitored with intense scrutiny so that Rubio can be caught in the grifting that will surely result from not shutting the whole thing down.

Let private charities rip off private donations instead of taxpayers.

I still think Rubio is (((UniParty))). Maybe he went true MAGA, IDK. He was (((UniParty))) in 2016.

Rubio is UniParty to his core. He's part of the new administration as a salve to the RINO contingent's feelings. He'll help make sure nothing too drastic happens.

It takes only one subversive.
