Some Mozambican political analysts believe that the US President’s decision to suspend foreign assistance for three months could hurt the country, especially in the health sector, which benefits from 400 million dollars a year to strengthen the system, human resources, and medicines.
Through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Washington has annually funded programs in the areas of climate change, education, health, and sanitation, and Trump’s decision could also jeopardize the Millennium Challenge Corporation’s Compact II, worth more than 500 million dollars. Sectors such as education and health depend heavily on foreign aid, including from the United States.
