The suspension of U.S. foreign aid marks a significant shift in global development policy, creating major challenges for recipient countries. The Penn Development Research Initiative - DevLab@Penn (PDRI-DevLab) at the University of Pennsylvania invites you to the second webinar in a three part series that explores the impact of the rollback of U.S. foreign aid on people and institutions abroad. The webinar, taking place on Wednesday, March 19 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM, will feature program directors and academics from in-country partners and recipients of foreign aid. Panelists will discuss initial effects on a range of topics, including refugees and resettlement to health care systems and freedom of the press. Our goal is to deepen public understanding of what foreign aid truly entails and to highlight the real-world stakes of its suspension from the perspectives of those directly engaged in the work. This event is co-sponsored by Penn Global, the Behavioral Economics and Global Health Insights (BEGIN) Lab, the Environmental Innovations Initiative, the Center for Global Health, the Christopher H. Browne Center for International Politics, and Perry World House. This webinar is open to both the Penn community and the public. We hope you will join us for this critical discussion.
