For decades, the United States and USAID have been central to financing and shaping the global peacebuilding, development, and humanitarian sectors. However, with evolving geopolitical priorities, a changing donor landscape, and growing calls for locally-led solutions, the sector faces significant questions about its future. This event seeks to explore how the peace and development ecosystem can adapt to a world with reduced reliance on US and USAID funding, identifying opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and sustainability.
