ForeignAssistance dot gov emergency backup
USAID’s ForeignAssistance.gov was taken offline on January 31, 2025. It returned on February 3, 2025, but it’s not clear how long it will be available.
As a backup, I’ve uploaded the entire ForeignAssistance.gov dataset to a website/database/API at https://foreignassistance-data.andrewheiss.com/. Everything as of December 19, 2024 is available there, both as a queryable SQL database and as downloadable CSV files.
To simplify things, I’ve also provided links for each individual dataset below.
You can run your own version of this Datasette API with a basic Docker Compose file. See here for the complete source code for foreignassistance-data.andrewheiss.com and instructions for running your own copy.
