• Impact of the USA leaving WHO and pausing USAIDS/PEPFAR funded programmes in the WHO European Region

  • On 20 January, 2025 the U.S. Administration, issued two Executive Orders, with impact on the global HIV response – one announcing that the USA will exit the WHO and another one imposing a 90-day pause on all foreign development assistance programmes, including USAID/ PEPFAR. On 24 January, US Secretary of State issued a waiver for “emergency food assistance” and only four days after a waiver for “lifesaving humanitarian assistance” programmes. Nevertheless, the 90-day assessment and realignment process remain in place, affecting ongoing programmes and projects across several countries, including those in the WHO Europe Region.
