The United States Government has pledged to support the African continent with over $55 billion for climate adaptation and health.

White House National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan who disclosed this on Tuesday on the sidelines of the U.S.-Africa summit in Washington D.C, said that the U.S. is committed to investing in the African continent compared favourably to other countries.

He noted that the Biden-Harris administration would be contributing approximately $20 billion to health projects in the African region and that the majority of the funds would be spent on climate adaptation and health.

“That includes $11.5 billion dollars to address HIV/AIDS; more than $2 billion dollars to combat malaria; more than $2 billion dollars in support of family planning and reproductive health as well as maternal and child health; and more than $2 billion dollars to address the health, humanitarian, and economic impacts of COVID-19.

Speaking further, he said “the administration also plans to ask Congress for $4 billion for healthcare workers in Africa, investing $1.33 billion annually from 2022 to 2024,”.
