The US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has announced a new cut in a support programme for Mozambique, in this case for male circumcision, of $10 million US dollars.
According to a DOGE list, made official at the weekend and consulted by Lusa on Monday, the “voluntary male medical circumcision in Mozambique” programme is one of 15 “cancelled” by that new department in African, Asian and European countries. Mozambique’s government said on 7 February that the suspension of US international aid compromises health programmes in Mozambique, especially HIV/AIDS and that it was in “dialogue” with the US embassy to “mitigate the impacts”.
