Over the last two weeks, the new U.S. administration has taken a cascade of actions that are already having a catastrophic impact on the global HIV response. Billions in funding have vanished overnight, and millions of people face needless suffering and death without immediate action.

To draw attention to the devastating effects of the stop work order, Aidsfonds, GNP+ and Robert Carr Fund started an initial mapping of this impact to community networks and  organisations. This is the second update of outcomes, including additional analyses of the impact on the ground.

Document titled "Post Waiver Impact of USA government administration’s directive to pause all foreign aid obligations" discusses the effects on HIV funding programs.

What is the cost of inaction?

A final publication is available that includes additional analyses of the on-the-ground effects and provides crucial data to guide donors on how they can specifically contribute to the global HIV response during this funding crisis.
