.Anne Applebaum claims the U.S. “destroyed” global HIV programs. Here’s what she conveniently leaves out: -PEPFAR is the LARGEST single-disease aid program by any nation in history -It received $100 BILLION in U.S. taxpayer funding since 2003 -$7 BILLION was sent to Zambia alone -The US covers 80-90% of...

For over two decades, the US Government has been the biggest champion of the global HIV response. The current disruptions in US funding for PEPFAR and other programs are having a devastating impact. If PEPFAR is not fully resumed, and other resources are not found for the HIV response, UNAIDS estimates that over the next four years there would be: ☑️ 6.3 million additional AIDS-related deaths ☑️ 8.7 million additional people newly infected with HIV. The global disruption in HIV prevention and treatment services has led to clinic closures and halted prevention efforts and community systems - threatening to reverse decades of hard-won progress in the fight to #endAIDS. The suddenness of this disruption highlights the need for a planned transition for countries from foreign aid to national ownership in order to ensure continuity of HIV services. UNAIDS Global is working with partners to develop HIV sustainability roadmaps to support countries to lead the critical programmatic, policy and financial aspects of their HIV response. We are promoting national ownership, increasing domestic financing, and ensuring that the hard-earned progress in the HIV response is protected and sustained. A vital lesson in all this is that global problems need global solutions. Pandemics respect no borders, and viruses don’t stop for visas. Ending a pandemic like AIDS requires coordination, solidarity, and compassion. We are hopeful that the 🇺🇸 government will maintain its life-saving contributions through PEPFAR, while countries work urgently to ensure sustainability of their HIV responses with greater national ownership.

President Donald Trump asked Congress on Tuesday to take back $9.4 billion in federal funding for foreign aid, the State Department and public media. The rescission request would codify the work of the Department of Government Efficiency, which sought to shutter the U.S. Agency for International Development, eliminate foreign aid programs it deemed wasteful and cease funding for other international institutions. The rescission request would affect USAID and the PEPFAR program for HIV/AIDS relief, among other programs. It also includes almost $1.1 billion in funds that were previously approved by Congress to support the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). CPB distributes funds to NPR and PBS local stations, which combine federal money and their own fundraising efforts to support the public media networks. CPB funding is typically approved two years in advance to discourage political influence over the budgeting process. Congress now has 45 days to act on the request. The move is the Trump administration's latest effort to defund PBS and NPR. Last month, Trump issued an executive order to end federal funding for both organizations, accusing them of bias and arguing they should not be supported by taxpayer dollars. PBS and NPR have filed separate lawsuits against the executive order, citing First Amendment violations. Both the House and Senate need to approve the request for the funding to be rescinded. If either chamber denies or ignores the request, the Trump administration will be legally required to release the money. Lisa Desjardins takes a closer look at what's in the request.
