It is now the time for urgent leadership from world leaders. Lives are on the line and it is the most vulnerable - those facing the worst effects of conflict, climate change, hunger and illness - who will suffer the most from this.

Reports that more than 90% of the U.S. Agency for International Development contracts and $60 billion in overall U.S. Assistance around the world will be eliminated are deeply shocking.
