US Commits $480-487 Million in Health Funding to Ivory Coast Under ‘America First’ Health Strategy
The US and Ivory Coast signed a bilateral health agreement worth approximately $480-487 million to strengthen the country's health system, disease detection, and response to HIV, AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and epidemics.1234
The deal is part of the US 'America First' global health strategy, encouraging countries to mobilize domestic resources and integrate US programs into national systems, with Ivory Coast contributing 60% of total costs.123
Signed in Abidjan, the agreement focuses on HIV (affecting ~420,000 people), malaria, maternal and child health, and global health security, aiming to transform Ivory Coast's health sector over five years.1234
Ivory Coast is the latest African nation to sign such a deal, following others like Nigeria and Kenya under this new US framework.15
