What #USAID funds freeze means for Uganda. ~Over 5000 contractors who were working on #USAID- funded activities in Uganda's health sector. ~ Over 2000 medical workers,lab technicians and staff in the medical supply chain were affected. A THREAD 🧵

Also noting that Americans evangelicals and Republicans have been backing extreme anti-LGBTQ+ politics in Uganda, one of the most dangerous places to be openly queer in the world, for the last few decades.

The Government of Uganda is laying off health workers who were being paid by #USAID and CDC after the US froze funds. The government is asking them to now work for free as volunteers "in the spirit of patriotism"

#USAID is not just charity to African countries. The aid connects them to markets, and markets benefit American companies and American jobs are created at home. Someone show this to Trump's administration ITS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL.

Freezing #USAID funding to Uganda's health sector is telling 100s of HIV patients to die because they can't afford ARTs. USAID donates more than $500,000,000 to Uganda's health sector every year, we are looking at more than 15,000 job cuts due to this freeze @cnn.com 🙏🏿 @larrymadowoo.bsky.social

#PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, it is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are losing lives pepfarimpact.vercel.app

This is what US President Donald Trump's action of suspending foreign aid means to developing countries like Uganda. Trust me, this is just the tip of the iceberg, the effects are going to be devastating and far reaching.
