US-Kenya $2.5B health deal targets HIV, Malaria and Polio
The United States and Kenya on Thursday signed the first of what is expected to be dozens of ‘America First’ global health agreements.
It is part of the Trump administration’s overhaul of foreign aid and calls for poorer nations to play a bigger role in fighting HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and polio in their countries.
"So this is truly a partnership. This is the way we should be doing assistance around the world. True assistance is self-sustainability, building the ability to sustain yourself in the long term,” said US Secretary of State.
