flag U.S. and Kenya sign $2.5B health deal replacing USAID, focusing on HIV, malaria, TB, and supporting Kenya’s Haiti role.

flag The U.S. and Kenya have signed a five-year, $2.5 billion global health agreement, the first of several expected "America First" deals, replacing dismantled USAID programs. flag The pact, focused on fighting HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, allocates $1.7 billion from the U.S. and $850 million from Kenya, with funding available to all clinics in Kenya’s health insurance system, including faith-based providers. flag It excludes abortion services but does not discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals or sex workers. flag The deal supports Kenya’s role in a U.S.-backed Haiti stabilization force. flag Other African nations may join, but Nigeria and South Africa are unlikely due to political disagreements. flag The elimination of USAID has disrupted maternal care, nutrition, and HIV/AIDS programs, raising concerns about setbacks in global health progress.
