Malawi NGOs to be hit by Trump’s abortion order

By Joseph Dumbula on Mar 17, 2017

Nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) in Malawi that provide and promote abortion after receiving funds from the United States will have to anticipate for aid cut as the Donald Trump administration signed a decree to do so.

Weeks ago, the US leader reinstated a global gag rule that bans U.S.-funded groups around the world from discussing abortion.
