Additional Context: This analysis was conducted by malaria and global health experts working on the Bridge the Gap initiative. The group aims to help health ministries assess the repercussions of the funding cuts on malaria programming, identify critical gaps, and prioritize high-impact investments as they look for alternative funding sources outside of the U.S. The initiative has since supported ministries of health in Zambia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, helping retain technical expertise as countries adjust to the funding cuts.
