The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, cut an estimated $329 million in humanitarian aid to Nepal. This reduction occurred following the closure of the United States Agency for International Development. The cuts eliminated foundational educational projects, including support for early grade reading and teacher training across Nepal’s districts.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The loss of U.S. funding, which Nepal had received since 1951, has forced the country to restructure its services. The closure of the United States Agency for International Development led to an estimated 30,000 direct job losses in Nepal. Nepal must now rely on its private sector to recreate these services.

Nepal is currently facing financial strain as it seeks alternative funding sources due to the decline of international aid, including a reduction in UK development assistance.
