how much is reaching the people in need who are/were funded by PEPFAR, mostly in Africa.

To win the votes of Republican senators who initially objected, G.O.P. leaders agreed to strip out a $400 million cut that Mr. Trump requested to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR. The White House signaled it would not contest the change.

They also shielded some funding for some specific programs, including aid to Jordan and Egypt; Food for Peace, a program that provides food assistance to other countries; and some global health programs.
