Kenya signs landmark health deal with US despite data fears

US officials say the deal is the first in a series of agreements with developing countries

Kenya has signed a historic five-year health agreement with the US, the first such pact since Donald Trump’s administration overhauled its foreign aid programmer.

The $2.5bn (£1.9bn) deal is aimed at combating infectious diseases in Kenya, with similar agreements expected to be rolled out in other African countries aligned with Trump’s broader foreign policy goals.

The government-to-government deal aims to boost transparency and accountability but has raised fears it could give the US real-time access to critical health databases, including sensitive patient information.

Kenya’s Health Minister Aden Duale sought to allay such fears, saying “only de-identified, aggregated data” would be shared.

On his first day in office in January, Trump announced a freeze on foreign aid as part of a government spending review, dismantled the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and cut billions in aid to poorer countries.

This has led to a drastic reduction in the availability of some drugs in developing countries.

In September, the Trump administration introduced an “America First Global Health Strategy”, making aid dependent on negotiations that officials said would cut waste and advance US priorities.

Zambia delaying US deals over minerals and data demands

Government in Lusaka calls for partnership, not aid, as it rejects US funds due to strategic autonomy concerns.

The Zambian government has suspended negotiations with the United States on multi-billion dollar deals for health services and minerals

Foreign Minister Mulambo Haimbe said on Monday that the proposed agreements have stalled due to Washington’s “unacceptable” terms and demands for preferential treatment.

A health agreement, under which the US offered up to $2 billion over the next five years, is on hold due to the “incorporation of terms that the Zambian government considers unacceptable,” his statement said. In particular, Zambia said demands that it share data would violate “citizens rights”.

A separate deal on critical minerals has been delayed due to US insistence that its companies receive preferential treatment. Zambia is Africa’s second leading copper producer and has significant reserves of other minerals.

Haimbe said Zambia is also concerned over “the coupling of the two agreements,” with the US making the conclusion of the health deal dependent on the minerals deal.

The Zambian Government has been consistent in asserting that the agreements must be considered separately on their respective merits, he said.
