Hi Friend,
What happens when aid-recipient countries suddenly lose the foreign assistance they’ve been told they would receive? The ripple effects extend far beyond unbalanced budgets — steep and unexpected reductions in funding affect individuals, families, and entire communities, especially in climate-vulnerable regions.
Join us for an eye-opening conversation about how cuts to foreign assistance threaten progress toward protecting biodiversity, advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and achieving sustainable development initiatives.
We’ll hear from Robert Bagyenda, Former Team Leader for the Environment, Engineering, and Climate Unit at USAID, who will share how program shutdowns have affected environmental work in Uganda. Margaret Edison, Former Director of Nigeria’s National Population Commission, will discuss how population dynamics, SRHR, and sustainability are deeply connected.
Together, we’ll explore how strong global donor support is essential to the wellbeing of people and the planet!
We invite you to join us for their presentation on Thursday, November 13th, at 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT.
