Impact of USAID Withdrawal on Global Education and Skills Development

The dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has created an unprecedented crisis in global education and skills development, with far-reaching consequences for access, equity, and the quality of learning worldwide. This report, commissioned by the European Training Foundation (ETF), examines the implications of USAID’s funding withdrawal through four key lenses: funding trends and magnitude, geographic and programme impact, consequences for global education, and policy responses. It provides both a summary of USAID’s impact and a roadmap for moving forward.
