The online portal reformed.info reports on the consequences of the cost-cutting plans in the USA and at the federal level for Mission 21 and the Heks. Mission 21 Director Jochen Kirsch has his say with pointed statements.
The decisions in the USA to cut funding and dismiss employees at the United States Agency for International Development (Usaid) affect projects all over the world. Jochen Kirsch says in the reformiert.info article: "I am most saddened by the consequences for those affected by Usaid aid, for example in Africa".
The director of Mission 21 uses the term "horror scenario": if the organization were to actually stop paying for medication for HIV-infected people, for example, hundreds of thousands of deaths would be possible as a result. "Of course, that would also have drastic consequences for local society," warns Kirsch.
