FACT SHEET: U.S. COVID – 19 ASSISTANCE TO NEPAL TO DATE
By U.S. Embassy Kathmandu
4 MINUTE READ

May 13, 2021

TOTAL $50.9 Million

UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (USAID)

$45.1 Million total USG assistance through USAID thus far. Since the beginning
of the pandemic, USAID’s COVID-19 assistance has reached over 55 percent of the
population across Nepal by working with partners at the community, municipal,
and federal levels to provide life-saving treatments, equipment, and services.

100 ventilators
10,000 personal protective equipment (PPE)
+  life-saving antiretroviral drugs to people living with HIV

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DoD)

$5.8 Million in funding for Nepal thus far that has enabled the DoD team to
purchase PPE, breathing devices, isolation and disaster camp equipment and
supplies, telemedicine equipment, COVID-19 testing supplies, handwashing
stations, and medical equipment for health clinics. Within the last few weeks
DoD has provided urgently needed PPE, medical supplies, high-flow oxygen therapy
devices to the COVID Crisis Management Center and Ministry of Health and
Population. On May 13, DoD announced an additional $2.75 million in emergency
funding that will provide oxygen cylinders and liquid oxygen storage tanks.

President Biden has made clear that as long as this virus is spreading anywhere,
it is a threat to people everywhere. The United States is the largest donor to
COVAX, and has committed $2 billion to the program, with another $2 billion to
come. Nepal was among the first in Asia to receive COVAX donations.

The United States is looking at options to share the AstraZeneca doses with
other countries as they become available. It is expected there will be 60
million doses to share over the next two months. The criteria for allocating
those vaccines has not yet been determined. The decision will likely be based on
where needs are most acute and where they will be the most effective.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken: “I know that many countries are asking for
the United States to do more, some with growing desperation because of the scope
and scale of their COVID emergencies. We hear you. And I promise, we’re moving
as fast as possible.” 

The United States won’t trade shots in arms for political favors. This is about
saving lives. We will treat our partner countries with respect; we won’t
overpromise and underdeliver. We’ll maintain high standards for the vaccines
that we help to bring to others, only distributing those proven to be safe and
effective.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the United States has stood with the people
and Government of Nepal in the ongoing fight against COVID-19, and U.S.
government assistance affirms its commitment to the strong and collaborative
70-year partnership between the United States and Nepal.
