What to know about USAID, the agency Elon Musk wants dead

Live Mint  

The USAID building was closed to employees on Monday. Elon Musk, the billionaire adviser to President Trump, is targeting the U.S. Agency for International Development as part of his directive to slash federal spending. Over the weekend, people working for Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency accessed USAID’s classified systems after a clash with security officials. USAID is more effective as an independent agency to respond to health needs such as the current outbreaks of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, Marburg in Tanzania, and a rare disease called Chapare hemorrhagic fever in Bolivia, said Matthew Kavanagh, director of the Center for Global Health Policy & Politics at Georgetown University. Congress gave USAID independent legal authorities and dissolving it as an independent agency would take another act of Congress, he said.
