Is U.S. foreign aid for health care being used effectively?
Season 2025
Episode 8
About the Episode
The vast majority of foreign aid administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development goes through middlemen, international aid agencies or U.S.-based private companies that then distribute the assistance. Critics say the system leaves out many deserving locally-led startups and non-government groups. Fred de Sam Lazaro explores the field of health care for his series, Agents for Change.
