Additional Context: Reporting for Devex, Andrew Green looks into how the new America First Global Health Strategy cuts off U.S. support to local organizations to fight HIV, except for faith-based organizations. This information was shared by Martin Zimba, the executive director of the Key Populations Alliance of Zambia, or KPAZ, which helps vulnerable communities, including gay men and sex workers. That includes connecting them to HIV testing and treatment facilities rooted in their communities. According to Devex, before the U.S. funding cuts, KPAZ was active in nine of 10 Zambian provinces and had assisted 30,000 people. It is now down to only two provinces and many of its partner facilities have also closed.
