Objective:
To assess the magnitude of funding cuts from the U.S. and Global Fund in 29 MOU countries between 2026 and 2029, as reported in the source.
Approach:
Key Findings:
- Estimated combined funding cuts total $4.3 billion, a 24% decline, with 77% attributed to the U.S.
- Funding in the 29 countries is projected to drop from $11.3 billion (2024-2026) to $8 billion (2027-2029), a 29% decline.
- Global Fund support is expected to decline by almost $1 billion, a 15% drop from the previous period.
- Countries facing the largest dollar reductions include Uganda, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Malawi.
- Further declines in funding are anticipated beyond 2029, with an additional $2 billion cut planned for 2030.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
- The analysis does not account for potential compensatory funding from other sources or changes in donor behavior, as noted in the source.
- Future funding forecasts remain uncertain, particularly for the Global Fund's next grant cycle, according to the source.
Conclusion:
