"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"It has been a year of aid cuts major reductions in development funding from the US, Germany, France, and the UK mark the biggest contraction in aid spending in decades. By some projections, aid spending by the top donors in the world will decline by $67 billion (50bn) from 2023 to 2026, a drop of almost a third. This is driven primarily by Donald Trump's administration shuttering the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and cancelling 80 per cent of its foreign aid programmes."
The Independent deploys journalists to cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word'. The outlet remains freely accessible without paywalls and funds reporting through donations. Major donor countries including the US, Germany, France, and the UK are implementing large reductions in development funding, projected to cut aid by $67 billion from 2023 to 2026. The reductions are driven largely by the Trump administration's closure of USAID and cancellation of 80 percent of US foreign aid programmes, alongside disengagement from multilateral forums and criticism of the Sustainable Development Goals. Those cuts risk hundreds of thousands of deaths now and potentially millions in the future.
