What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offices in Angola and South Sudan were shuttered last week, while the Zimbabwe office is scheduled to close by the end of the year. These closures are attributed to decreased CDC funding, operational limitations from the State Department, and security issues. The closures are part of President Donald Trump’s “America First Global Health Strategy”.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The closures reflect a shift in foreign aid policy, requiring recipient nations to agree to shoulder more of their own health costs and demonstrate improved health metrics to receive assistance. Previously, the CDC funded drug distribution, medical care direction, and local health worker training.

Aid funding cuts are impacting health programs in Zimbabwe, involving policy decisions made by Donald Trump.
