Such a travesty that the Demographic and Health Survey program was terminated this week.
I realize the Gates Foundation can't pick up all the pieces, but this one seems like a natural one for them to pick up given that the DHS is the go-to data source for many of their focus areas.

The Demographic and Health Surveys, a major effort supported by USAID and widely used across the world, are also not currently available.

Cutting Official Development Assistance to 0.3% of GDP means that a massive fraction of our aid budget will be spent in the UK on accommodation for asylum seekers. I don't have an up to date estimate, but could easily be half. Leaves much, much less for "traditional" aid.

i just made the mistake of reading the comments on a NYT article on foreign aid.
My god, some people are just way too dumb to understand how lucky they are to have been born in a rich country. Not better or more deserving, just lucky. It's so simple and obvious.

Elon says 90% of US aid never reaches communities.
He confuses USAID's 90% reliance on intermediaries -- US companies delivering HIV drugs, WFP delivering food aid -- with waste. Comical if not so dangerous.
