Who’s in, who’s out
The Trump administration went scorched-earth on global aid — and said it
has *terminated 86% of its global programs* in a sweeping foreign aid
overhaul. That’s 5,341 programs, worth $75.9 billion, wiped out in a
two-month effort to push USAID under tighter State Department control.
However, billions have also been preserved, so monetarily speaking, it’s a
nuanced picture. My colleagues Elissa Miolene, Sara Jerving, and Adva
Saldinger waded through hundreds of data points to distill the big picture
for you

That’s all according to a 281-page spreadsheet with plans for terminated
and active USAID

The New York Times. These cuts were also confirmed in memos sent to
Congress. Our data team *crunched the exact numbers and they are
jaw-dropping*. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance

Some $2.63 billion worth of contracts slated for cancellation. The World
Health Organization

polio and immunization work? A $1 billion award expected to be slashed.

But Dr. Sania Nishtar, the chief executive officer of Gavi, tells Sara
that *the
organization has not received a termination notice* from the U.S.
government, and Congress had approved $300 million for the organization’s
activities this year.

“A cut in Gavi’s funding from the US would have a disastrous impact on
global health security, potentially resulting in the deaths of over a
million children over five years, and endangering lives everywhere from
dangerous disease outbreaks,” she says.

Also on the chopping block:

   - $1.3 billion for global education via the World Bank
