US EditionU.S. Signs Health Deals with Nine African Nations
The U.S. reduced annual health aid by 49% per country while requiring higher domestic co-financing and linking assistance to political and faith-based conditions.
- This past week, the United States government signed health compacts with nine African countries under a new framework reflecting President Donald Trump's shift toward mutual-benefit deals.
- Replacing aid, the new compacts follow a major overhaul of U.S. assistance, with the administration saying they aim to boost self-sufficiency and cut aid by 49%.
- Detailed pacts include specific five-year funding: Eswatini will get up to $205 million and $37 million in domestic spending, Mozambique over $1.8 billion, Uganda nearly $2.3 billion, and Nigeria over $2 billion.
- Some governments view the compacts as a lifeline after U.S. aid cuts crippled health systems, while South Africa has not signed and lost about $400 million in annual support.
- At least four signatories also have deportation agreements, and the State Department denied any linkage though officials said political considerations may be part; Nigeria's pact prioritizes Christian faith-based health providers despite a slight Muslim majority.
