DOGE: Millions of Taxpayer Dollars Were Poised to Drive ‘Social and Behavior’ Change in Uganda, Developing ‘Socially Responsible’ Behaviors in Colombia

Millions of taxpayer dollars were poised to be completely wasted, going toward efforts to drive “social and behavior” changes in Uganda and develop “socially responsible” behaviors in Colombia, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced this week.

“US taxpayer dollars were going to be spent on the following items, all which have been cancelled,” DOGE announced, providing a list of several ways the U.S. government was poised to waste hard-earned taxpayer dollars. For example, $42 million was expected to go to Johns Hopkins to “research and drive ‘social and behavior change’ in Uganda.” Another $25 million was set to “‘promote biodiversity conservation and promote licit livelihoods’ by developing ‘socially responsible’ behaviors in Colombia.”

Further, $40 million was set to “improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants,” and a whopping $520 million was allotted for a consultant to do what DOGE described as “ESG investments in Africa and ‘mobilize private sector resources and expertise.'”

The taxpayer money that was set to be wasted overseas does not end there, as DOGE also revealed that $69 million was set to go to the Eurasia Foundation for “digital transformation activity” in Europe.

Other discoveries, per DOGE’s list, include:

-$32mm to Internews for programs including “media enabling democracy, inclusion, and accountability in Moldova” and the promotion of “sustainable media outlets”
-$7mm for the American Bar Association to promote the “resilience” of the “Eurasian legal sector and civic society”
-$45mm to “address the needs, opportunities, and challenges identified by activists and other civic actors engaged in nonviolent collective action”
-$52mm for the World Economic Forum

According to DOGE’s official website, the total estimated savings rings in around $65 billion thus far. DOGE says this savings is a combination of what it describes as “fraud detection/deletion, contract/lease cancellations, contract/lease renegotiations, asset sales, grant cancellations,

Why isn’t Samantha Power in jail for dereliction of duty or some other charge?

Sounds like the BEE but it is straight-faced news...no guffaws allowed:

‘My wife fears sex, I fear death’ - impacts of the USAID freeze

Life for Mike Elvis Tusubira, a motorcycle taxi rider with HIV in Uganda, has been turned upside down since US President Donald Trump halted foreign aid last month.

Not only does the 35-year-old fear for his own survival as he takes life-saving anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs - but he says he will have to split up from his wife as they can no longer have safe sex.

His partner is HIV-negative and relies on PrEP, a medicine that reduces the risk of contracting HIV.

“It means that even my marriage will end, because actually without the preventive measures, she’s not going to stay,” he told the BBC.

“No condoms, no [anti-HIV] lubricants, no PrEP, nothing. We can’t stay in marriage without meeting. It means that I have to stay single.”....

If they stayed sedentary they couldn't be migrants, unless someone wheeled them over the border.

Most lefty NGOs got kickbacks and bribes to send Federal dollars to gender projects in Uganda and Timbuctoo. A thousand other garbage projects too. These DC based do-gooder NGOs are female dominated/ As seen in the TV series House of Cards. Where Robin Wright heads up a do-gooder NGO, and of course has petty squabbles with the gals “working” there.

Socialist behavior often ends in firing squads. Did they think about that?

Uganda is the most anti-LGBT country on earth. Why? They had a Sodomite king in the late 1800s that raped all the men he saw, and killed Christians who wouldn’t submit. Ugandans celebrate the Christian martyrs and hate Sodomites! Isn’t it predictable that our evil Demoncrat leaders would try to change Uganda’s Christian heritage.
