Analysis of U.S. and Global Fund Funding Reductions in MOU Countries

The U.S. government and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the top two donors to global health in low- and middle-income countries, each took actions to reduce funding to countries starting last year and plan to further reduce funding going forward. Under the Trump administration, the U.S., as part of its new America First Global Health Strategy (AFGHS) “MOU” agreements with countries, plans to reduce funding by billions over the next few years. The Global Fund, due to reduced contributions from the U.S. and other donors, is also reducing funding in the same set of countries. Together, the U.S. and Global Fund reductions serve as a “one-two punch” to countries, who will be faced with significantly fewer resources in the coming years.
