In 2019, she was invited to the White House to meet Ivanka Trump, who was then an advisor to her father, and to attend the W-GDP announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To coincide with the launch, Ivanka Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/empower-women-to-foster-freedom-11549497789\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">wrote<\/a> a Wall Street Journal op-ed in which she said W-GDP would, &#8220;for the first time coordinate America&#8217;s commitment to one of the most undervalued resources in the developing world \u2014 the talent, ambition and genius of women.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Achom was one of nine grantees who were invited to the White House, where President Trump signed the memorandum in the Oval House on February 7, 2019. Mr. Trump&#8217;s administration pledged $50 million to W-GDP \u2014 to be allocated by USAID.<\/p>\n<p>Achom told CBS News on Monday that while the president had made supportive comments about the initiative, Ivanka &#8220;was somebody who really cared,&#8221; saying the president&#8217;s daughter seemed genuinely concerned about women&#8217;s development and economic empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I could see that she really loves stories of our success, stories of how women are impacting communities around the globe,&#8221; Achom said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium \"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/usaid-employee-describes-atmosphere-of-fear-amid-foreign-aid-freeze\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Extended interview: USAID employee describes &#8220;atmosphere of fear&#8221; amid foreign aid freeze<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">26:33<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first Trump administration later <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WGDP-2019-Annual-Report-02102020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> the program had reached 12 million women in its first year. The Biden administration continued W-GDP&#8217;s work under the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund, which invested $300 million in direct resources and another $200 million in indirect funding between 2021 and 2023, according to USAID documents provided to CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Ivanka Trump did not immediately reply to a CBS News request for comment on the program or the USAID funding cuts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A State Department spokesperson, asked about the W-GDP program, noted to CBS News Rubio&#8217;s review of foreign assistance programs, &#8220;to ensure they are efficient and consistent with U.S. foreign policy under the America First agenda.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson said the department was &#8220;judiciously reviewing all the waivers submitted&#8221; by various programs and personnel in a bid to keep aid flowing, and they said the results would be communicated &#8220;transparently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov\/wgdp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">focuses<\/a> of the W-GDP program was women&#8217;s access to technology, which still lags behind that of men globally. According to White House documents from the time, more than 1.7 billion women in low and middle-income countries did not own a mobile phone, and they were far less likely to use mobile internet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rural communities in Africa have been less able to access new and emerging technologies, Achom explained, because of the cost of the internet and devices, but also because for many people, medical bills, education, and food remain the priorities.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium \"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/trumps-aid-freeze-will-worsen-sudan-famine-and-cost-lives-workers-say\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Trump&#8217;s aid freeze will worsen Sudan famine and cost lives, workers say<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">04:55<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In northern Uganda, where the prevalence of HIV among women and children has historically been higher than in other parts of the country, additional <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/funding-aids-relief-pepfar-foreign-aid-millions-medication\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">USAID funding provided through the aid relief program, PEPFAR<\/a><\/span>, gave communities access to ongoing supplies of antiretroviral drugs. Such support is limited from Uganda&#8217;s own government because of its restrained finances, Achom said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;USAID has really treated those in the community like their friend,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Like their number one friend, I should say, because they&#8217;ve visited them, they&#8217;ve given them grants, not only to support them with medical facilities and access to medicine, but to access economic empowerment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>USAID funding was also consistent and reliable, unlike some other programs, and shutting down agency-funded programs, Achom said, will affect more than just women&#8217;s access to technology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The ability of the entire community to move out of poverty is really going to be slowed down or compromised,&#8221; she told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/joanne-stocker\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Joanne Stocker<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Joanne Stocker is a verification producer for CBS News Confirmed.
