Questions for Discussion:
1) How can African governments and private sector actors mitigate the impact of USAID funding cuts?
2) What alternative sources of funding should African nations explore to sustain development efforts?
3) In what ways can regional cooperation help reduce dependence on external aid?
4) How might these funding cuts affect Africa’s relationship with other international donors, such as China or the European Union?

Africa is so blessed but the leaders who through their corruptions and weak institutions have impoverished the continent are bothered about the USAID funding cuts. The alternative source of funding is to begin to produce for Africa by Africans. No amount of aid will bring you as a continent out of poverty.
These aids only make you more dependent on aids rather than being innovate in order to reduce the dependence on foreign aids.
A person who gives you aid will tell you how to run your government and unfortunately, the day you refuse to listen to their instructions, they will cut the aids and your economy crashes.
