Trump govt to end support for vaccine-aid organization, GAVI

Trump govt to end support for vaccine-aid organization, GAVI

President Donald Trump's administration plans to end the United States’ financial support for Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, GAVI.

GAVI, an international organization, has helped purchase critical vaccines for children in developing countries, saving millions of lives over the past quarter century.

The New York Times reports that the administration decided only to continue some key grants for medications to treat HIV and tuberculosis, and food aid to countries facing civil wars and natural disasters.

According to the reports, the decisions were included in a 281-page spreadsheet that the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, sent to Congress Monday night.

The document listed the foreign aid projects USAID plans to continue and to terminate.

The media outlet reports that the cover letter details the skeletal remains of USAID after the cuts, with most of its funding eliminated, and only 869 of more than 6,000 employees still on active duty.

The letter said that the Trump's administration decided to continue 898 USAID awards and to end 5,341.

The remaining programs are now said to be worth up to $78 billion. However, only $8.3 billion of that is unobligated funds — money still available to disburse.

The figure suggests a massive reduction in the $40 billion that USAID used to spend annually.
