Spencer had just begun what promised to be a stellar career in one of USAID’s main contractors. Then Trump and Musk took their DOGE chainsaw to the international development sector.
With the rug pulled out from under his feet so abruptly last month, Spencer was kind enough to provide his invaluable perspective on what the implications are, for him and his would-be colleagues – a whole cadre who would be working in international development - now scrambling to find new jobs, and what it means for the US’s soft power on the international stage.
This will be one conversation in a series on the international development sector, with people working at different points in the delivery chain.
Happy listening.
