The U.S. has signed four new global health memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with Madagascar, Sierra Leone, Botswana, and Ethiopia, which total nearly $2.3 billion in funding, the State Department said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration unveiled its “America First Global Health Strategy” in September, a new approach to overseas aid that seeks to improve target countries’ self-reliance in managing their health sectors.<\/p>\n

“Each MOU includes clear benchmarks, strict timelines, and consequences for nonperformance \u2013 ensuring U.S. assistance delivers results against priority disease threats and reduces long-term dependence on U.S. assistance,” the State Department said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Across the four MOUs, which total nearly $2.3 billion, the United States has committed almost $1.4 billion, with recipient countries co-investing more than $900 million of their own resources.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. embassy in the Ivory Coast’s commercial capital, Abidjan, said a signing of a five-year health cooperation memorandum between the two countries was scheduled for Thursday.<\/p>\n

The MoU is aimed at strengthening disease detection and health worker capacity, the embassy said, adding that the State Department planned to provide up to 273 billion CFA francs ($491 million) in health support, while the Ivory Coast commits to increasing its national funding to 252 billion CFA francs.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the U.S. signed a five-year health cooperation agreement with Eswatini to provide up to $205 million for investments in health data collection, disease monitoring and response, and HIV prevention and treatment.

\nEswatini, in turn, will increase domestic health spending by $37 million during the five-year period.<\/p>\n

The U.S. has also signed health cooperation agreements with Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Lesotho.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
