特朗普政府宣布计划重组美国国际开发署，包括重命名该机构和实施区块链技术

特朗普政府揭示了一项综合计划，以重组美国国际发展机构（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.

特朗普政府正在计划对美国国际发展机构（USAID）进行重大重组，该机构将涉及重命名该机构，裁员数千个工作，并引入区块链技术以进行援助分配。

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.

根据韦德内部内部备忘录的说法，美国国际开发署将被更名为美国国际人道主义援助（IHA），并直接放在国务卿的控制之下。

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.

该机构也大大缩小规模，政府效率部（DOGE）削减了该机构的劳动力并停止向许多合作伙伴组织的付款。

This includes groups providing essential humanitarian aid in crisis zones.

这包括在危机区提供基本人道主义援助的团体。

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

由埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）领导的道吉（Doge）在2025年1月特朗普总统就职后不久就将所有美国国际开发署雇员放在行政假上。

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.

特朗普政府声称，美国国际开发署已变得无效和分散。他们认为，该机构的长时间延长了太长时间了，浪费了纳税人的钱在没有明确结果的情况下。

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.

新计划将该机构的重点转移到关键优先事项（全球健康，粮食安全，灾难响应和反对中国的影响力）上，每个援助计划都将具有明确的结束日期和严格的成功衡量。

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

目的是重建美国国际开发署（USAID），为一个较小的，更多的结果驱动的代理机构，直接受益于我们的利益。

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.”

以许多使许多人感到惊讶的举动，区块链技术将是大修代理机构的核心。根据《连线》所看到的内部备忘录：“所有分布也将通过区块链技术确保和追溯，以从根本上提高安全性，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.

该备忘录没有指定这将涉及加密货币，稳定币，还是仅将区块链用作跟踪辅助的分类帐。该技术旨在防止援助分配中的浪费和欺诈。

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

人道主义部门的专家对区块链的必要性表示怀疑。

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

帮助援助团体采用新技术的顾问琳达·拉夫特里（Linda Raftree）说：“感觉就像是解决不存在的问题的解决方案。”

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）解释说，传统系统已经可以有效地跟踪援助。同时，来自Access的Giulio Coppi现在指出，区块链与现有支付系统没有真正的优势。

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.

尽管如此，一些人道主义努力已经测试了区块链，结果混合了。例如，联合国难民高级专员一直在使用Stablecoins帮助战争流离失所的乌克兰人。

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

此外，肯尼亚红十字会对区块链进行了试验，以进行援助分配，发现在某些情况下它可以加快货币转移的速度。

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，引入区块链的批评家警告会创造新的成本和复杂性，尤其是在灾难响应的前线挑战小型非政府组织。

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.

今年早些时候，一名联邦法官发布了针对政府拆除美国国际开发署并将其纳入国务院的计划的初步禁令。尽管有这种挫折，但政府似乎仍决心继续其削减该机构并将其置于国务院部门的计划。

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.

区块链的整合与特朗普政府为实现联邦技术现代化的更广泛努力保持一致。根据彭博社的说法，马斯克一直在探索区块链，以增强各种政府程序。

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的重点包括改善对联邦支出的跟踪，确保数据和简化付款，这可能构成美国历史上最大的政府区块链项目。
