このコンテンツについて

 When foreign assistance was cut and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was dismantled, it disrupted not only policies but also people — staff, partners, and communities who depended on them. Global Development Interrupted brings their stories to light, capturing the voices of those who served, those who led, and those who were directly impacted. Through in-depth conversations, the podcast explores what international development looked like on the ground — from strengthening health systems and expanding access to education, to advancing democracy and governance, responding to climate challenges, and more. Each episode reflects on what was lost, what remains, and how communities are adapting in the aftermath. More than a podcast about policy, Global Development Interrupted is about people: why they dedicated their careers to service, the consequences of dismantling global programs, and how we might rethink aid and public service in the future.Petit Media & Consulting LLC

    Protecting Others, Protecting Ourselves
    2025/09/15
    At just two years old, Cathy Nguyen left Vietnam with her mother. On the day Saigon fell, they landed in Hawaii and reunited with her father, who was studying on a USAID scholarship. That moment of upheaval shaped her family’s path and her own lifelong commitment to service. With 20+ years of experience across Africa, Asia/Pacific, and the U.S., Cathy has served as a USAID staffer, PEPFAR Coordinator, and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. In this episode, she shares her family’s story, the transformative role USAID played in their lives, and the values of community, responsibility, and public service that guide her work. We explore USAID’s impact in global health—from HIV/AIDS care to pandemic preparedness—and reflect on today’s challenges facing foreign aid. Cathy also offers insights on how even small acts of service can contribute to lasting change.

  • Children, Caregivers & the Fight for a Future

    Children, Caregivers & the Fight for a Future
    2025/09/13
    As a child on Chicago’s South Side, Lauren Murphy dreamed of becoming a nun to help others. Decades later, she found herself working for USAID, supporting the U.S. government’s global efforts to care for children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. In this conversation, Lauren reflects on what it meant to serve during a generational crisis—designing programs that kept children with families, not institutions, and supporting caregivers with dignity, not pity. She shares stories from South African townships, lessons in Ubuntu, and the radical belief that the best solutions come from within communities themselves. Lauren also opens up about the abrupt and devastating dismantling of USAID’s work, and the profound sense of betrayal felt by thousands of local leaders and colleagues left behind. This episode explores what happens when systems collapse, what community truly means, and how small acts can still hold up a future.
