GiveWell’s Response to USAID Funding Cuts: March 19, 2025
Julie Faller, Senior Program Officer at GiveWell with a focus on global health program analysis, joins Elie Hassenfeld to discuss urgent funding challenges in global health. They examine how U.S. aid cuts force countries to prioritize HIV treatment over prevention, impacting vital health services. Supply chains for therapeutic foods are in disarray, and layoffs threaten the capacity of implementing organizations. Strategies for addressing these gaps include innovative funding approaches and a spotlight on the critical need to combat acute malnutrition among children.
