UNAIDS is taking a significant financial blow as its biggest contributor, the United States, pulls back funding along with other key donors.
According to Angeli Achrekar, deputy executive director of UNAIDS programs, the U.S. government provides funding to UNAIDS through the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s the funding from USAID that’s been terminated, which totals $50 million in core funding or flexible funds and roughly $40 million in non-core funding or earmarked funding. That’s around 40% of UNAIDS’ total revenue.
“We will see how this unfolds as the review is completed,” Achrekar said.
