Busara’s audio verbatim theatre, released today, uses the exact words of those affected by the fallout from the closure of USAID. The podcast consists of eight chapters of verbatim reflections, submitted to Busara’s Global Journal via survey from around the world in the aftermath of the USAID closure on January 24 2025.
Busara gathered responses all through the first half of 2025, held three webinars, and two in-person gatherings (New York and Nairobi) that followed the Chatham house rules where people openly discussed the impact of the changes in the funding landscape on their work, their lives, and the lives of the people around them.
