The decision to Pausar US financing to several global health projects was revoked, according to missives received by international organizations and media reports.
Some global health projects whose contracts financed by the United States were suddenly canceled last week have received letters that revoke these decisions, according to media reports.
The revocation occurred after the administration of President Donald Trump ended approximately 90 % of contracts funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID, in English) and the State Department.
Democratic legislators, together with some Republicans and human rights groups, have criticized administration's efforts to close humanitarian efforts funded by the federal government worldwide.
A spokesman for the United States Department of the United States said the Trump administration had been working to review every dollar spent “to ensure that taxpayers' resources are being used to make the United States safer, stronger and more prosperous.”
Michael Adekunle Charles, executive director of the RBM Association to end malaria, said that the letter of his organization revoking the cut of his funds arrived late on Wednesday.
“I think it's good news. We have to wait in the next few days to get additional guidance,” he told Reuters. “Our priority is to save lives, so as soon as possible we can start saving lives, the better.”
Other programs that receive some US financing to respond to tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS also saw their cuts revoked.
Trump ordered a 90 -day pause in all the US foreign aid on his first day back to the White House. Subsequent work suspension orders have paralyzed USAID operations worldwide. The majority of USAID staff has also been licensed or fired.
On Wednesday, the United States Supreme Court confirmed the emergency order of a lower court for the administration to quickly release funds to contractors and beneficiaries of Usaid subsidies and the State Department. The financing would cover almost 2,000 million dollars for the work already done by the organizations.
Meanwhile, the contractors and beneficiaries of subsidies that sued the Government are asking the United States District Judge Amir Ali to establish a new deadline on Monday to release much of the financing for their completed work. The deadline would not apply to all 2,000 million.
The contractors and beneficiaries of subsidies are also asking for the restoration of most contracts and subsidies for foreign aid, which the Trump administration ended last month, while the demand continues.
The Administration said that “all legitimate payments” owed to the plaintiffs would be made “in a matter of days”, but that the foreign payments that are not in demand could take much more.
Some plaintiffs say that if they are not paid immediately, they run the risk of closing.
