Is this because of USAID funding cut?
Though it wasn't directly mentioned in the article, the relevant context is that the Trump administration is in the process of cutting foreign aid by the US; see the link below for a few details.Looks to me like the OWID article is saying that the aid from the US is a good investment.[1] https://www.msn
