African Youth, Experts Rethinking SRH Funding After USAID Closure
EannasonewOn April 19, the US government is expected to announce the way forward after a recent temporary closure of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) operations globally.
The temporary closure of the operations would have widespread and significant impacts across numerous sectors, particularly in developing countries and especially come with a significant setback in health initiatives, including those related to girl’s and women’s health especially in sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
African youths have shown lack of implementation of existing policy and outdated legal frameworks continue to impede improved sexual reproductive health which is already threatened by low budget funding and possible closure of support from the US Government.
