Story summary
- Jeremiah A. Carew (development specialist) says USAID collapsed in the United States because of poor storytelling.
- Carew blames a heavy supply chain that routes aid money through prime contractors, international NGOs, and local NGOs.
- Administrative costs are absorbed at every layer, inflating expenses and limiting funds for direct impact.
- Carew calls for structural reform to shorten supply chains, fund local actors directly, and reward finished work.
