Policy Lens: Global Health Security
Entry Type: Operational Impact
Additional Context: This information was collected by MSI Reproductive Choices, an international sexual and reproductive health NGO for the report "The Effects of ODA Cuts on Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights," published in November 2025. These products accounted for over half of USAID's annual support to Tanzania, and would have met 28% of the country's contraceptive needs.
Devex Researcher Note: According to a December 2025 report, the withdrawal of U.S. funding is expected to leave a $62 million gap in contraceptive procurement worldwide, as well as creating fragilities in demand monitoring, storage and distribution, and provision.
