United States orders halt to Global Health Supply Chain program in 17 African countries and Haiti
Change
United States ordered U.S. diplomatic missions in 17 African countries and Haiti to stop implementing the Global Health Supply Chain Program by May 30, 2026, and notified that the contractor Chemonics' contract will expire on September 30, 2026.
Why it matters
The directive removes the U.S.-managed logistics channel used to deliver HIV and malaria medicines and prevention tools in the affected countries, denying missions access to the program's distribution mechanisms. Procurement and delivery teams must arrange alternate supply or distribution channels immediately to prevent interruptions in patient treatment.
Implications
- • United States diplomatic mission health program teams in the affected countries must cease distribution of HIV and malaria commodities through the Global Health Supply Chain Program by May 30, 2026 — continuing distributions after that date will violate the directive.
- • Chemonics logistics and contract management teams must reconcile inventories and transfer or lawfully dispose of remaining U.S.-funded stockpiles before the contract expires on September 30, 2026.
