美国国际发展署署长马克·格林关于提供3700万美元支援抗击新型冠状病毒COVID-19的声明
（STATEMENT BY USAID ADMINISTRATOR MARK GREEN ON THE COMMITMENT OF $37 MILLION IN ASSISTANCE TO RESPOND TO NOVEL CORONAVIRUS COVID-19）
美国政府今天宣布，从美国国际发展署（U.S. Agency for International Development [USAID]）的传染病紧急储备金（Emergency Reserve Fund for Contagious Infectious Diseases）中拨出3700万美元，帮助26个受到新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）影响或有高度传播风险的国家。美国政府正在将这笔资金提供给世界卫生组织（World Health Organization）、其他多边机构，以及由美国国际发展署领导的项目的执行伙伴。这是美国国务院（U.S. Department of State）2020年2月7日宣布的美国政府高达1亿美元资助承诺中的第一批。鉴于任何地方的传染病威胁都可构成对所有地方的威胁，我们呼吁其他捐助方也为抗击新冠病毒作贡献。
这笔新的资助扩大了美国国际发展署和美国政府根据全球健康安全议程（Global Health Security Agenda）已在做出的防备和应对传染性疾病的其他投资，以便帮助在以下重点国家应对新冠病毒病的威胁：阿富汗伊斯兰共和国，安哥拉共和国，印度尼西亚，伊拉克，哈萨克斯坦，肯尼亚，南非，塔吉克斯坦，菲律宾，土库曼斯坦，乌兹别克斯坦，赞比亚，津巴布韦，孟加拉人民共和国，缅甸，柬埔寨王国，埃塞俄比亚联邦民主共和国，吉尔吉斯共和国，老挝人民民主共和国，蒙古，尼泊尔联邦民主共和国，尼日利亚联邦共和国，巴基斯坦伊斯兰共和国，泰王国，以及越南社会主义共和国。
新宣布的援助
在总资助资金中：
正在持续的援助
几十年来，美国一直是世界上最大的公共健康双边援助国。自2009年以来，美国纳税人通过美国国际发展署和美国国务院，为全球健康需要慷慨资助了900多亿美元。这些资金挽救了生命，保护了最易受疾病危害的人，建立了健康机构，并促进了社区和国家的稳定。在上述资金中，美国国际发展署自2009年以来投入了11亿美元，用于预防、识别和对流行及新兴健康威胁作出反应，其中包括像新型冠状病毒病这类疾病。美国国际发展署过去15年对全球健康安全的投资以及自2015年以来根据全球健康安全议程作出的贡献，帮助改进了对致命病原的监控，加强了实验室体系，改善了针对风险的信息交流；资助了对致命疾病爆发的应急行动；并致力解决日益严重的抗微生物抗药性威胁。美国国际发展署根据全球健康安全议程制定我们的投资计划，通过帮助最大程度减少受感染国家的疾病传播和改善地方和全球对传染病原爆发的反应，保护美国民众。

For Immediate Release

The U.S. Government announced today a commitment of $37 million in financing from the Emergency Reserve Fund for Contagious Infectious Diseases at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for 25 countries affected by novel coronavirus COVID-19 or at high risk of its spread. The U.S. Government is providing these funds to the World Health Organization, other multilateral institutions, and programs led by USAID’s implementing partners. These are the first U.S. Government funds committed from the pledge of up to $100 million announced by the U.S. Department of State on February 7, 2020. Because an infectious-disease threat anywhere can be a threat everywhere, we call on other donors to contribute to the effort to combat COVID-19 as well.
Building on ongoing USAID and other U.S. Government investments to help prepare and respond to infectious diseases under the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), the new funding will help address the threat of COVID-19 in the following high-priority countries: The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan; the Republics of Angola, Indonesia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kenya, South Africa, Tajikistan, The Philippines, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Zambia, and Zimbabwe; the People’s Republic of Bangladesh; Burma; the Kingdom of Cambodia; the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia; the Kyrgyz Republic; the Lao People’s Democratic Republic; Mongolia; the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal; the Federal Republic of Nigeria; the Islamic Republic of Pakistan; the Kingdom of Thailand; and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Newly Announced Assistance
Of the total funding:
Ongoing Assistance
For decades, the United States has been the world’s largest provider of bilateral assistance in public health. Between USAID and the U.S. Department of State, American taxpayers generously have made available more than $90 billion dollars for health globally since 2009. This money has saved lives, protected people who are most vulnerable to disease, built health institutions, and promoted the stability of communities and nations. Of that figure, USAID has invested over $1.1 billion dollars since 2009 to prevent, detect, and respond to endemic and emerging health threats, including diseases like COVID-19. USAID’s investments in global health security in the last 15 years, as well as contributions under the GHSA since 2015, have helped improve surveillance for deadly pathogens, strengthened laboratory systems, and refined risk-communications; funded the response to outbreaks of deadly illnesses; and addressed the rising threat of antimicrobial resistance. USAID designs our investments under the GHSA to protect the American public by helping to minimize the spread of disease in affected countries and improve local and global responses to outbreaks of infectious pathogens.
