ALL global health instits are heavily dependent on US govt $ + the Gates Foundation. This goes well beyond @WHO - there is a high level of dependency on the USA, and I have long warned --going back to the late & #39;90s, that this could collapse w/a opposing #POTUS. MORE

Overall, donor support for ALL global health multilaterals, including @WHO has been declining since 2014. This was especially acute after the 2010 Euro-crisis financial crash, and Euro-donors, especially southern Europeans, never really resumed pre-2014 scale. MORE

It has always been crucial to understand that the assessed dues nations pay as members of @WHO are trivial in the agency& #39;s budget -- voluntary donations are crucial, & >60% comes from 2 sources -- US govt + @gatesfoundation

In this chart @ChathamHouse Charles Clift shows that @WHO has become increasingly dependent on voluntary donations because the member nations have refused to increase their basic assessment rates. This has increased dependency on USA + @gatesfoundation . MORE

Overall, there& #39;s been a steady 30-yr trend of stagnating assessed funding for @WHO w/widening mission. This has spawned >er reliance on voluntary support, chiefly from US govt + @gatesfoundation . With that dependency has come vulnerability -- to @WhiteHouse whims.
