Budget Justification to the Congress
Fiscal Year 2006
TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
On behalf of the U.S. Agency for International Development, I am pleased to transmit to the Congress the Administration's budget justification for authorization and appropriations for the programs administered by the Agency in fiscal year 2006.
This FY 2006 budget request reflects USAID's multiple goals in development, relief and recovery and in advancing U.S. national security. It responds to the President's priorities, including support for the Global War on Terrorism, and helping Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan toward stability and security.
The request sets priorities that use aid effectively to promote real transformation in developing countries committed to reform. It also helps states that are more vulnerable or crisis-prone to advance stability, security and reform as well as develop essential institutions and infrastructure. The assistance supports individual foreign policy objectives in geo-strategically important states, continues USAID's premier capacity to offer humanitarian and disaster relief to those in need, and addresses global issues and special concerns including HIV/AIDS, global climate change, counternarcotics, and international trade agreements.
USAID programs, objectives and results are described in detail in the following chapters and accompanying annex. Your favorable consideration of the Administration's economic assistance budget request is requested.
Andrew S. Natsios
