[quote=Anonymous]NYT: The Trump administration will reduce the number of workers at the U.S. Agency for International Development from more than 10,000 to about 290 positions, three people with knowledge of the plans said on Thursday.

The small group of remaining staff includes employees who specialize in health and humanitarian assistance, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to publicly discuss the cuts.

A spokeswoman for the State Department did not immediately return a request for comment.

U.S.A.I.D. officials were also told on Thursday that about 800 awards and contracts administered through the agency were being canceled, the three people said.

The moves also came just one day before almost all of the agency’s direct hires, including its roster of foreign service officers, will be put on indefinite administrative leave, while almost all contractors will see their work orders terminated. Foreign service officers will have 30 days to return to the United States.[/quote]
