“I’m head of an NGO in Kenya. The shutoff of USAID support has been devastating.”
“To address these challenges, CFK Africa has developed four key models aimed at supporting young people in informal settlements…”
“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.
“There is a lot of misunderstanding on what aid or development work is. To me, it restores dignity, brings out the best in humanity, and lessens suffering, and I think that is missed from a lot of the current news stories on the pullback of aid,” said CFK Africa Executive Director Jeffrey Okoro.
