Effect of US government action on health information (4) Closure of the Communication Initiative (2)

15 February, 2025

For those of us in the USA who have spent our careers working to improve the health and well-being of the poorest in economically less developed countries, what has happened to USAID is heartbreaking. We are devastated by the cruelty imparted to partners and beneficiaries. This latest news from the Communication Initiative is yet another blow. I am so sad for Warren Feek that it should come to this after all his years building the Communication Initiative.
