WASHINGTON, Dec 23 (Reuters) – ‌The ​U.S. ‌signed four new global ​health memorandums of understanding (MOUs) ‍with Madagascar, Sierra ​Leone, Botswana, ​and ⁠Ethiopia, which total nearly $2.3 billion in funding, the State Department said on Tuesday.

“Each ‌MOU includes clear benchmarks, ​strict timelines, ‌and consequences ‍for nonperformance – ⁠ensuring U.S. assistance delivers results against priority disease threats and reduces long-term dependence on ​U.S. assistance,” the State Department said in a statement.

“Across the four MOUs, which total nearly $2.3 billion, the United States has committed almost $1.4 billion, with recipient countries co-investing ​more than $900 million of their own resources.”
