US taxpayer dollars were going to be spent on the following items, all which have been cancelled:
- $60M for "Indigenous Peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment"
- $74M for "inclusive justice" in Colombia
- $79M for "primary literacy" in Kenya
- $37M for "female empowerment" in Colombia
- $8M to "Reduce stigma, discrimination, and violence against LGBTQI+ communities" in Lesotho
- $3.3M for "being LGBTQI in the Caribbean"
- $25k to increase "Vegan Local Climate Action Innovation" in Zambia
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Contains a factual error:
According to the actual grant viewable on grant.gov, the "Vegan Local Climate Action Innovation" which DOGE stated was $25k is actually $250k.
Simple typo of forgetting a digit, but still a factual error that needs a community note.
