The Impact of U.S. Aid Withdrawal on HIV Programs in Zimbabwe: A Scholarly Analysis of Consequences and Challenges
Abstract
This article critically examines the consequences of U.S. aid withdrawal on Zimbabwe’s HIV programs. Relying on secondary data and literature review, the study highlights the impact on ART access, prevention programs, and health system sustainability. The paper applies concepts from dependency theory and health systems resilience to offer a deeper understanding of Zimbabwe’s structural vulnerabilities and policy gaps. It concludes with recommendations for domestic resource mobilization, capacity building, and community-led solutions to mitigate the effects of foreign aid reduction.
