Trump’s aid freeze sends shock waves across Africa | DW News

Numerous African governments and aid organizations have actually reacted with shock and confusion after United States President Donald Trump got a freeze and testimonial of foreign help
Regardless of a turnaround on life-saving aid, specifically for HIV therapies, it remains unclear what will happen after the evaluation. Questions stay about what else will be funded and that specifically will receive it.
The US is the world’s largest single aid donor and a vital supplier of humanitarian assistance to Africa. So a freeze or reduction in aid can have devastating consequences for millions, and placed lives in jeopardy.
Last year, the United States provided virtually $7 billion in humanitarian aid to sub-Saharan Africa, according to USAID. This funding covered a wide variety of assistance, including HIV prevention, malaria therapy, agricultural help, and initiatives to battle the effects of environment modification.
In 2024, UN firms got the largest share of funding, amounting to over $3 billion, adhered to closely by United States federal government bodies and US-affiliated NGOs.
