Officials from the Trump administration have proposed a plan to change how the United States handles foreign aid.
A key part of the proposal includes using blockchain technology to monitor how aid is distributed. The goal is to make the process easier to track and more reliable.
According to a draft of the proposal reviewed by Politico, the plan suggests changing the name of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to the US Agency for International Humanitarian Assistance. It would also move the agency under the direct control of the Secretary of State.

One section of the plan talks about using blockchain to follow the path of aid funds. It says this would improve “security, transparency, and traceability”. The idea is to make it easier to see where the money goes and whether it reaches the right people.
The proposal also suggests changing how aid programs are judged. Instead of focusing on how many activities were completed, the new approach would measure real results. The goal is to support programs that show clear benefits rather than simply meeting quotas.
Additionally, the reforms would narrow USAID’s mission. It would focus more on a few key areas, such as health, food, and emergency response.
