US reduces AIDS aid in Namibia

The United States announced that it will begin to reduce its financial support for Namibia's AIDS programs, providing $45 million during the 2027 fiscal year, after which it will cease direct funding and limit itself to technical cooperation. This decision comes after Namibia rejected requests to exchange health data and biological samples with the United States, citing concerns over privacy, sovereignty, and legal issues. Over the past few years, Namibia has received approximately $45 million annually from the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and the United States has contributed more than $1.1 billion since 2003. This move to cut support aligns with the "America First" policy adopted by the Trump administration, which emphasizes reducing dependence on foreign aid and boosting local funding.
