Isn't saving lives and feeding children ROI? I think the parent comment was stating that these things were not measured and therefore the ROI should absolutely be known.

You should always measure the impact of the things you do and the money you spend, you should never just say "we're trying to do this and so the money should always flow". If you and trying to feed children you should be able to estimate the number of meals you provide and if that number is too low you should stop getting money.

I'm not commenting on USAID cuts in particular here, but your comment struck me as being rather strange.
