特朗普宣布计划重组美国国际开发署，将其重点放在全球卫生上并反对中国

这是在特朗普总统与埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）合作削减政府机构的几周后，这导致了数千名美国国际开发署的失业和消除大多数外国援助合同。

The Trump administration has finally unveiled its plan to restructure the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), reports Politico. This comes just weeks after President Trump teamed up with Elon Musk to cut government agencies, leading to job losses at USAID and the elimination of foreign aid contracts.

据Politico报道，特朗普政府最终宣布了重组美国国际发展机构（USAID）的计划。这是在特朗普总统与埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）合作削减政府机构的几周后，导致美国国际开发署（USAID）的失业和消除外国援助合同。

The administration plans to shrink and refocus USAID, concentrating on global health, food security, disaster response, and countering China. The proposal argues that current development programs are “inefficient and fragmented,” spread too thin across too many sectors and countries, leading to poor results. Instead, Trump’s plan aims to focus on areas crucial to U.S. interests, like promoting peace, stability, and economic opportunities that benefit American businesses. It also targets global threats, such as pandemics. The proposal suggests that all aid programs should have clear end dates and be closely measured for success. After significantly reducing the 60-year-old agency, Trump aims to rebuild it in his image.

政府计划缩小和重新关注美国国际开发署，专注于全球健康，粮食安全，灾难应对和反对中国。该提案认为，当前的开发计划“效率低下且分散”，在太多的部门和国家中传播得太薄，导致结果不佳。相反，特朗普的计划旨在集中于对美国利益至关重要的领域，例如促进和平，稳定和使美国企业受益的经济机会。它还针对全球威胁，例如大流行。该提案表明，所有援助计划都应有明确的日期，并以成功的方式进行仔细衡量。在大大减少了这家60岁的机构之后，特朗普的目标是以他的形象重建它。

The administration plans to rename USAID as US International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA) and bring it directly under the secretary of state, according to a memo circulating among State Department staff and reviewed by WIRED. As part of its reorganization, the agency will “leverage blockchain technology” as part of its procurement process.

根据国务院工作人员的一份备忘录，政府计划将美国国际开发署重命名为美国国际人道主义援助（IHA），并将其直接带到国务卿之下。作为重组的一部分，该机构将“利用区块链技术”作为采购过程的一部分。

The administration plans to use blockchain technology to improve security, transparency, and traceability in its aid distribution. However, it’s unclear whether this will involve cryptocurrency, stablecoins, or simply using blockchain to track aid.

政府计划使用区块链技术在其援助分配中提高安全性，透明度和可追溯性。但是，目前尚不清楚这将涉及加密货币，稳定币，还是仅使用区块链跟踪辅助措施。

The memo comes as USAID staff are uncertain about the agency’s future. USAID was a major target of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. After President Trump’s inauguration, the State Department placed all USAID staff on administrative leave, cut the workforce, and halted some payments to global partners, including those providing lifesaving aid.

备忘录是在美国国际开发署的工作人员不确定该机构未来的。美国国际开发署是由埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）领导的政府效率部（DOGE）的主要目标。特朗普总统就职典礼后，国务院将所有美国国际开发署工作人员置于行政假，削减劳动力，并停止向全球合作伙伴（包括提供救生援助的人）的一些付款。

According to Linda Raftree, a consultant helping humanitarian groups adopt new tech, few blockchain projects have succeeded in the sector because the technology is often unnecessary.

据帮助人道主义团体采用新技术的顾问琳达·拉夫特里（Linda Raftree）认为，很少有区块链项目在该领域取得成功，因为该技术通常是不必要的。

“It feels like a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Most of the time, there are existing tools that could do the job just as well,” Raftree says.

Raftree说：“这感觉像是解决不存在的问题。大多数时候，现有的工具也可以完成工作。”

Besides, Giulio Coppi from Access Now says that blockchain offers no clear advantages over other tools like payment systems, and its promotion as a “tech solution” has shown little real impact.

此外，Access的Giulio Coppi现在说，区块链与支付系统（例如支付系统的晋升）没有明确的优势，而作为“技术解决方案”的促销几乎没有显示出真正的影响。

“There’s been a lot of hype around blockchain in the development sector, but in practice, it hasn’t lived up to the claims. The legal and regulatory hurdles are significant, and smaller NGOs may not have the capacity to take on this extra complexity,” Coppi adds.

Coppi补充说：“开发部门中的区块链有很多炒作，但实际上，它并没有履行主张。法律和监管障碍很大，较小的非政府组织可能没有能力承担这种额外的复杂性。”

However, Blockchain technology has seen some success in the humanitarian sector, such as the UNHCR’s pilot project providing stablecoins to Ukrainians and trials by the Kenya Red Cross. While blockchain can make money transfers faster and easier, it also introduces new burdens for small NGOs.

但是，区块链技术在人道主义部门中取得了一些成功，例如难民署的试点项目，为乌克兰人提供了稳定的，肯尼亚红十字会的审判。虽然区块链可以使钱转移更快，更容易，但它也引入了小型非政府组织的新负担。

The proposed adoption of blockchain at USAID aims to tie funding to results, but some employees argue this approach may not be flexible enough in disaster or conflict zones.

拟议在美国国际开发署（USAID）采用区块链旨在将资金与结果联系起来，但一些员工认为这种方法在灾难或冲突区域可能不够灵活。

Critics, like Linda Raftree, feel this push supports claims of corruption within USAID, even though the agency already pays based on completed work, and prefers to fund organizations that demonstrate good performance.

像琳达·拉夫特里（Linda Raftree）这样的批评家认为，这种推动力支持美国国际开发署（USAID）内部的腐败主张，即使该机构已经基于完成的工作付款，并且更喜欢为表现出良好绩效的组织提供资金。
