The Price of “Efficiency”
Fri, Jun 26, 2026 • 8:46 PM
A new study published in The Lancet—one of the world’s premiere medical research journals—estimates that if the dismantling of USAID continues through 2030, it could contribute to roughly 14 million preventable deaths, including 4.5 million children under the age of five. The researchers concluded that USAID programs over the past two decades were associated with dramatic reductions in deaths from HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, malnutrition and childhood diseases. Undoing those programs, they argue, could erase much of that progress.
