COMM: 

Late September in Mozambique, Southern Africa.

We’ve come here to find out about the impact of a far-reaching policy, put in place by US President, Donald Trump.

Young volunteers meeting at rural clinic in Gaza Province.

 

 

 

 

 

COMM:

Volunteers from an aid organization called AMODEFA gather in the province of Gaza.

They’ve poured their hearts and souls into a multi-agency project called DREAMS.

A key part of AMODEFA’s work – to spread a message about contraception.

We began filming.

But neither we – nor these volunteers - had any idea about what was to happen next.

AMODEFA has been working here since 1989.

Two thirds of their funding comes from the US Government.

But because of their opposition to President Trump’s order on mentioning abortion that will now end.

For the young volunteers it appears to make no sense.

The rule on foreign aid and abortion has been a political see-saw for successive US administrations.

Introduced by President Reagan it was repealed by President Clinton, reintroduced by President Bush, rescinded by President Obama.

But critics say this newest version – President Trump’s version -  goes far beyond anything that’s happened before.

Crucially President Trump’s rule extends to a far larger range of international aid programmes.

For example – charities working to combat HIV and other infectious diseases will no longer get US aid if they advise on abortion.

And the new policy affects a US foreign aid budget of over 8.8 billion dollars.

JONATHAN RUCKS Interview

 

Q: The US Administration has briefed that they are committed to helping women and children thrive. Shouldn’t you just take them at their word on that?

A: If this administration was truly concerned about protecting life they wouldn’t have enacted this policy and they certainly wouldn’t have expanded it in the way that they did.

Because we know from past iterations of this policy, maternal deaths increase unsafe abortions increase. This is not going to help women thrive and it’s certainly not going to help children thrive in the absence of no mother.

It may be early days in terms of President Trump’s new order  – but in Mozambique we found disturbing evidence about how it will affect work on critical HIV prevention.

It’s been estimated up to 13% of people aged between 15 and 49 here are living with HIV – and that the epidemic has led to over 600,000 orphans.

We do expect that women and girls will die as a result of reduced access to very basic services that they need to survive and thrive. Things like education - about why it’s important to wash your hands to prevent illness and making sure you have access to water. The net effect of this policy is likely to be three steps backwards. And three steps backwards in terms of funding and policy translates into lives lost.

Charities like AMODEFA are now seeking new partners and new sources of funding.

Worldwide, one initiative has seen ten governments along with other donors raising 430 million dollars for organizations who may lose US money.

But America remains the world’s largest bilateral donor to global health programmes and the fear is that it could be hard to replace the sheer scale of aid that may be lost as a result of the Trump policy.
