• The proposal suggests renaming USAID to the U.S. Agency for International Humanitarian Assistance.
• Blockchain technology is proposed to enhance security, transparency, and traceability in aid distribution.
• The plan places the agency under the direct authority of the Secretary of State.
• A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against dismantling USAID amid legal challenges.
