特朗普政府宣布計劃重組美國國際開發署，包括重命名該機構和實施區塊鏈技術

特朗普政府揭示了一項綜合計劃，以重組美國國際發展機構（USAID）。

The Trump administration is planning a major restructuring of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which will involve renaming the agency, cutting thousands of jobs, and introducing blockchain technology for aid distribution.

特朗普政府正在計劃對美國國際發展機構（USAID）進行重大重組，該機構將涉及重命名該機構，裁員數千個工作，並引入區塊鏈技術以進行援助分配。

According to internal State Department memos seen by WIRED, USAID will be renamed U.S. International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA) and placed directly under the control of the Secretary of State.

根據韋德內部內部備忘錄的說法，美國國際開發署將被更名為美國國際人道主義援助（IHA），並直接放在國務卿的控制之下。

The agency is also being drastically downsized, with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cutting the agency’s workforce and halting payments to many partner organizations.

該機構也大大縮小規模，政府效率部（DOGE）削減了該機構的勞動力並停止向許多合作夥伴組織的付款。

This includes groups providing essential humanitarian aid in crisis zones.

這包括在危機區提供基本人道主義援助的團體。

DOGE, headed by Elon Musk, placed all USAID employees on administrative leave shortly after President Trump’s inauguration in January 2025.

由埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）領導的道吉（Doge）在2025年1月特朗普總統就職後不久就將所有美國國際開發署僱員放在行政假上。

The Trump administration claims that USAID has become ineffective and fragmented. They believe the agency has been stretched too thin for too long, wasting taxpayer money on programs without clear outcomes.

特朗普政府聲稱，美國國際開發署已變得無效和分散。他們認為，該機構的長時間延長了太長時間了，浪費了納稅人的錢在沒有明確結果的情況下。

The new plan shifts the agency’s focus to key priorities—global health, food security, disaster response, and countering China’s influence—and every aid program will have a clear end date and strict success measurements.

新計劃將該機構的重點轉移到關鍵優先事項（全球健康，糧食安全，災難響應和反對中國的影響力）上，每個援助計劃都將具有明確的結束日期和嚴格的成功衡量。

The aim is to rebuild USAID as a smaller, more results-driven agency that directly benefits U.S. interests.

目的是重建美國國際開發署（USAID），為一個較小的，更多的結果驅動的代理機構，直接受益於我們的利益。

In a move that has surprised many, blockchain technology will be central to the overhauled agency. According to the internal memo seen by WIRED, “All distributions would also be secured and traced via blockchain technology to radically increase security, transparency, and traceability.”

以許多使許多人感到驚訝的舉動，區塊鏈技術將是大修代理機構的核心。根據《連線》所看到的內部備忘錄：“所有分佈也將通過區塊鏈技術確保和追溯，以從根本上提高安全性，透明度和可追溯性。”

The memo does not specify whether this will involve cryptocurrency, stablecoins, or simply using blockchain as a ledger for tracking aid. The technology is intended to prevent waste and fraud in aid distribution.

該備忘錄沒有指定這將涉及加密貨幣，穩定幣，還是僅將區塊鏈用作跟踪輔助的分類帳。該技術旨在防止援助分配中的浪費和欺詐。

Experts in the humanitarian sector have expressed skepticism about the necessity of blockchain.

人道主義部門的專家對區塊鏈的必要性表示懷疑。

Linda Raftree, a consultant who helps aid groups adopt new technology, said: “It feels like a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.”

幫助援助團體採用新技術的顧問琳達·拉夫特里（Linda Raftree）說：“感覺就像是解決不存在的問題的解決方案。”

Raftree explained that traditional systems can already track aid effectively. Meanwhile, Giulio Coppi from Access Now pointed out that blockchain offers no real advantages over existing payment systems.

拉夫特里（Raftree）解釋說，傳統系統已經可以有效地跟踪援助。同時，來自Access的Giulio Coppi現在指出，區塊鏈與現有支付系統沒有真正的優勢。

Despite this, some humanitarian efforts have already tested blockchain with mixed results. For instance, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has been using stablecoins to assist Ukrainians displaced by war.

儘管如此，一些人道主義努力已經測試了區塊鏈，結果混合了。例如，聯合國難民高級專員一直在使用Stablecoins幫助戰爭流離失所的烏克蘭人。

Additionally, Kenya Red Cross experimented with blockchain for aid distribution, finding it can speed up money transfers in some cases.

此外，肯尼亞紅十字會對區塊鏈進行了試驗，以進行援助分配，發現在某些情況下它可以加快貨幣轉移的速度。

However, critics caution that introducing blockchain creates new costs and complexities, especially challenging small non-governmental organizations on the front lines of disaster response.

但是，引入區塊鏈的批評家警告會創造新的成本和復雜性，尤其是在災難響應的前線挑戰小型非政府組織。

Earlier this year, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against the administration’s plans to dismantle USAID and integrate it into the State Department. Despite this setback, the administration appears determined to proceed with its plans to cut the agency and bring it under the State Department’s wing.

今年早些時候，一名聯邦法官發布了針對政府拆除美國國際開發署並將其納入國務院的計劃的初步禁令。儘管有這種挫折，但政府似乎決心繼續其計劃削減該機構並將其置於國務院部門的計劃。

The integration of blockchain aligns with broader efforts by the Trump administration to modernize federal technology. According to Bloomberg, Musk has been exploring blockchain to enhance various government processes.

區塊鏈的整合與特朗普政府為實現聯邦技術現代化的更廣泛努力保持一致。根據彭博社的說法，馬斯克一直在探索區塊鏈，以增強各種政府程序。

DOGE’s focus includes improving tracking of federal expenditures, securing data, and streamlining payments, which could potentially form the largest government blockchain project in U.S. history.

Doge的重點包括改善對聯邦支出的跟踪，確保數據和簡化付款，這可能構成美國歷史上最大的政府區塊鏈項目。
