Health: USAID out, in comes government to government deal

Kenya’s healthcare system suffered a major blow after US President Donald Trump froze foreign aid early this year, immediately after assuming office. 

The stop-work order created a funding gap of Sh30.9 billion, severely disrupting health programmes that heavily rely on donor support. 

In response, the Kenyan government entered a five-year cooperation framework worth $2.5 billion (Sh325 billion) with the US, aimed at saving lives and strengthening the country’s health system.
