In November 2021, USAID Administrator Samantha Power announced that by 2025, 25 % of the agency’s funding would go to local actors. Publish What You Fund, with the support of the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network and its members, has undertaken detailed research to establish an independent, credible, and replicable baseline to measure and track funding for the 25% commitment. It then compares its approach to USAID’s announced approach to show the difference in funding targets that result. On March 1st, the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network and Publish What You Fund will co-host an event to discuss the findings of this research and its policy implications, underscoring why these metrics matter.
