“This crisis is a wake-up call to rethink aid,” says Lawrence Haddad CMG, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and a World Food Prize laureate. As major aid donors scale back, shifting their focus to domestic priorities, the future of global development feels tenuous. Haddad argues for a "new aid"— not just a replacement for lost funding, but a smarter, more strategic approach that unlocks greater resource flows from the private sector and development finance institutions. With global hunger at record levels and millions lacking proper nutrition, he stresses that aid must evolve— becoming more adaptive, efficient, and aligned with the risks and opportunities of an ever-changing world. https://www.forbes.com/sites/daphneewingchow/2025/02/28/world-food-prize-winner-urges-a-rethink-of-foreign-aid-amid-cuts/
