LOADING ERROR LOADINGHARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — The United States has said it will begin winding down health assistance to Zimbabwe after the collapse of negotiations on a proposed multi-million-dollar bilateral funding agreement. AdvertisementThe U.S. had offered $367 million over five years to support Zimbabwe’s priority health programs, including HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention, tuberculosis, malaria, maternal and child health, and disease outbreak preparedness, the U.S. embassy in Zimbabwe said. Zimbabwe, like many low-income countries, has been grappling with the effects of aid reductions under President Donald Trump, although some programs continued under PEPFAR. The U.S. in January also withdrew from the World Health Organization, part of a broader reconfiguration of global health engagement. Under the new U.S. framework, the Trump administration has pursued bilateral “America First” health funding agreements, replacing arrangements previously coordinated through the now-dismantled U.S. Agency for International Development.
