“People will die,” said Dr. Katherine Kyobtungi, executive director of the African Population and Health Research Center.
The finished projects include HIV treatment programs that served millions of people, major malaria control programs in African countries that have been affected by worst, and global efforts to wipe out polio.
Here are some of the projects that the New York Times confirmed to have been cancelled:
A $131 million grant for UNICEF's polio vaccination program. This paid for planning, logistics and delivery of vaccines to millions of children.
A $90 million contract with Chemonics, a company for bednet, malaria testing and treatments that protect 53 million people.
The project is run by FHI 360, which supports door-to-door efforts to search for malnourished children in Yemen. Recently, we found out that one in five children is extremely underweight due to the country's civil war.
All operational costs and 10% drug budgets for drug facilities around the world, the World Health Organization's main supply channel for tuberculosis drugs, provided TB treatment to around 3 million people last year, including 300,000 children.
The HIV Care and Treatment Project, run by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, provided recipients in Lesotho, Tanzania and Eswatini with life-saving medication to 350,000 people, and prevented sending the virus to babies at birth as they have not given birth to 10,000 pregnant women, including 10,000 children and 10,000 pregnant women.
The Uganda project will track and monitor people's contacts with Ebola and bury those who have died from the virus.
A contract to manage and distribute medical supplies worth $34 million in Kenya. These include 2.5 million HIV treatments, 750,000 HIV testing, 500,000 malaria treatments, 6.5 million malaria testing, and 315,000 anti-malaria bednet.
87 shelters that cared for 33,000 women who were victims of South Africa's rape and domestic violence.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo project runs the sole source of water for 250,000 people in the camp for the displaced people at the heart of violent conflict in the country's eastern part of the country.
Prenatal and postnatal health services for 3.9 million children and 5.7 million women in Nepal.
Last year, the project, run by Helen Keller International in six West African countries, provided over 35 million people last year to prevent and treat neglected tropical diseases such as trachoma, lymphoid filariasis, schistosomiasis and onchocerciasis.
The Nigerian project is treating 5.6 million children and 1.7 million women for severe and acute malnutrition. Termination means that 77 health facilities will completely suspend treatment for children with severe acute malnutrition and risk 60,000 children being killed under the age of five.
The Sudan project operates the only operational clinic in one of the largest regions of the Kordofan region, blocking all medical services.
It served more than 144,000 people in Bangladesh, providing food to pregnant women and children with malnourished vitamin A.
A program run by Aid Agency Path, known as Reach Malaria, has protected more than 20 million people from the disease. In 10 African countries, children were given malaria medications at the beginning of the rainy season.
A project run by Plan International, which provides medical and other medical supplies, health care, malnutrition programming treatments, and water and sanitation displaced or affected by conflicts in northern Ethiopia.
UNAIDS's more than $80 million UN agencies have funded work to help improve HIV treatment, including a watchdog program for data collection and service delivery.
The president's Malaria Initiative Program was called Evolve. This controlled mosquitoes in 21 countries, including how mosquitoes spray pesticides into their homes (protecting 12.5 million people last year), including how they treated breeding sites and killed larvae.
A project to provide HIV and tuberculosis treatment to 46,000 people in Uganda, run by the Baylor University School of Medicine Foundation in Uganda.
SMART4TB, a major research consortium committed to preventing, diagnosing and treating tuberculosis.
Demographic and Health Survey is a data collection project of 90 countries, among many other health indicators, and is sometimes the only source of information on mother and child health and mortality, nutrition, reproductive health and HIV infection. The project was also the foundation for budgets and planning.
