The Global Fund (GF) has significantly reduced its health financial support to Kenya, just months after the US government froze foreign aid.

Kenya’s allocation, according to a letter dated June 30, 2025, dropped from $407,989,067 (Sh53 billion) to $354,331,970 (Sh46 billion), leaving a funding gap likely to jeopardise efforts in the fight against HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria.
