The Gates Foundation has committed to a decade of funding for the world's most-used health estimates. Science reports the criticism that has followed the study for years: opacity.
The FY2027 request would cut global health funding by $4.3 billion and eliminate WHO, PAHO and UNFPA outright. Three weeks later House appropriators proposed a smaller cut.
The estimate covers 2000 to 2023 and 108 countries. It is a counterfactual model, not a measured saving, and it lands as the US and other donors debate cutting the disease-specific funding it credits.
Sub-Saharan Africa received $11 billion in external assistance for community health worker programmes over two decades. More than three-quarters went to single-disease work, and the annual financing gap never closed.
The Lancet Global Health paper that produced this month's headline number also produced a larger one: 22.6 million additional deaths by 2030 if defunding deepens. The distinction matters more than the figure.
Washington intends to provide up to $792 million over five years. Malawi commits the rest — and the money is meant to flow through the government rather than NGOs.
The modelling study puts 719,384 people on PEPFAR-funded oral PrEP in 28 African countries at the end of 2024. Most projected infections fall on key populations whose coverage was already under 6%.
IHME's annual accounting puts development assistance for health at less than half its 2021 peak, with no recovery forecast to 2030. A companion model estimates what that means for tuberculosis.
