Spotlight on Africa reached out to three experts involved in rethinking the future of aid, including CFK Africa Executive Director Jeffrey Okoro.
“I’m head of an NGO in Kenya. The shutoff of USAID support has been devastating.”
“There are a lot of good things happening around decolonizing aid and localization, and that is something that CFK Africa is engaging in.”
“The fear is real” said CFK Africa Executive Director, Jeffrey Okoro.
The health workers advocate for localisation, local financing and even “changing the look around all the challenges that exist in these communities”, Okoro told RFI.
“For me, foreign aid has a human face and a name. It is Asha, a 17-year-old mother of a 2-year-old boy, who lives in Nairobi Kenya’s large and difficult slum, Kibera.”
CFK Africa is a registered NGO in Kenya and 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the U.S. that improves public health and economic prosperity in informal settlements through participatory research, primary health care, and education.
