Overview

Most of the tables illustrate the foreign assistance budget request for FY 2003, which is a part of the President's Budget. The tables also include budget levels for FY 2000 through FY 2002 for comparison. The levels for FYs 2000 through 2001 are based on the FY 2000, FY 2001 and FY 2002 appropriations acts. FY 2001 and FY 2002 levels are post-rescission levels. FY 2000, FY 2001 and FY 2002 include supplementals; the FY 2001 Emergency Response Fund supplemental, because of its magnitude, is being shown under the applicable accounts as a separate line.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) administers certain U.S. bilateral assistance programs including the Child Survival and Diseases Program Fund (CSD)(2000-2001), the Child Survival and Health Program Fund CSH)(2002); the Development Assistance Fund (DA), and other specialized DA accounts for credit programs and disaster assistance; the Economic Support Fund (ESF); Assistance for Eastern Europe and the Baltic States (AEEB); Assistance for the Independent States of the former Soviet Union under the Freedom Support Act (FSA); and Food For Peace Title II (P.L. 480). In the FY 2003 request, the CSH activities have been folded into one Development Assistance account. The tables follow USAID funding from the overall account summaries to the individual country program levels. There are differences between some of the tables because of the alternative budget concepts being presented.

Each table describes funding from one of several approaches. New budget authority (also referred to as new obligational authority or NOA) refers to the funding levels appropriated by Congress in a given year after certain legislatively-mandated transfers or rescissions. For the actual results of the prior year, total budget authority (BA) refers to the new budget authority plus reappropriations (such as deobligations and reobligations) and transfers. The program level (or obligation level) is the same as the total BA plus obligations of unobligated balances carried over from prior years less unobligated balances carried into subsequent years. Funds appropriated are not always obligated within the same year if they are available for more than one year, which is the case for the DA, CSD/CSH, ESF, AEEB and FSA accounts.

DA and CSD/CSH account levels for FYs 2000 and 2001 in these tables represent levels which exclude congressionally-mandated transfers to the Inter-American Foundation, the African Development Foundation, and UNICEF, which the Administration requested under other accounts until the FY 2003 budget request.

On all tables amounts shown for FY 2003 represent proposed new budget authority (or the request level), which assumes no unobligated balances from prior years.

International Affairs Budget Authority Tracker - FYs 2000-2003 (Table 1)

Programs and activities within the International Affairs 150 Account fall under the jurisdiction of three appropriation subcommittees. Table 1 shows the 150 account subdivided according to subcommittee jurisdiction (Foreign Operations, Agriculture, and Commerce/Justice/State) for FYs 2000 through 2003.

• Foreign Operations contains most of the programs under subfunction 151 (International Development and Humanitarian Assistance) including USAID-administered DA and humanitarian assistance, and subfunction 152 (International Security Assistance) including USAID-administered ESF programs. Other programs in the Foreign Operations classification include multilateral assistance, other bilateral assistance agencies such as the Trade and Development Agency, the Peace Corps, and the African Development Foundation, plus Military Assistance, and Export-Import Bank contributions.
• The Agriculture portion of the 150 Account refers principally to the food assistance provided under P.L. 480 which is appropriated to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), but, in the case of Title II, is managed by USAID.
• The Commerce/Justice/State portion of the budget reflects Department of State administrative operations, the operations of the former United States Information Agency (USIA) and other public information programs, and assessed contributions to international organizations.

Table 1 shows discretionary new budget authority levels for FYs 2000, 2001, 2002, and the request level for FY 2003.

Illustrative Breakout of FY 2003 USAID Pillars and Programs of Special Interest (Table 2)

This table includes all USAID-managed program accounts, including those co-managed with the State Department. (It excludes accounts covering administrative expenses and a small credit program). Program funds are broken out by the agency's three program pillars and then further broken down by programs of special interest.

Development Assistance Account by Pillars, Sectors, Special Interests (Table 3)

This table is similar to Table 2, but covers only the programs funded under the Development Assistance account and covers the four-year period of FY 2000-FY 2003.

USAID Country Allocation Summary - Appropriated Levels: FYs 2000-2003 (Table 4A, Table 4B, Table 4C and Table 4D).

These tables show appropriated levels for FYs 2000, 2001, 2002, and the requested appropriations for FY 2003.

The appropriations tables show the levels by bureau and country for CSD or CSH, DA, ESF, AEEB, FSA, and P.L. 480 accounts.

Appropriated levels are those enacted by the Congress and do not include carryover amounts, transfers or funds available under the deobligation/reobli-gation authority.

USAID Country Allocation Summary - Program (Obligation) Levels: FYs 2000-2001 (actuals), FY 2002 (estimates) - (Table 5A, Table 5B, and Table 5C)

These tables show the program level (obligations) by bureau and country for CSD or CSH, DA, ESF, AEEB and FSA. The PL 480 data, however, are the same as in the appropriation spigots.

Tables 5A, 5B and 5C represent new budget authority plus any country allocations of prior year funds which are known at this time. (Not all of the unobligated prior year funds are allocated to specific countries at this time). Table 5C FY 2002 allocations change until the year's obligations are finalized at the end of the fiscal year.

The program level tables for FYs 2000, 2001 and FY 2002 are included because the obligated level is considered to be the most complete picture of assistance actually provided to a particular recipient in a given year.

P.L. 480 Spigots - Titles II and III Program Levels (Table 6A, Table 6B -- Dollars, Table 6B -- Metric Tons)

USAID is responsible for the administration and implementation of P.L. 480 Title II (and Title III until FY 2001). Table 6A (Title III) shows actual program levels for FY 2000; the Title III ended in FY 2001. Table 6B (Title II) shows actual program levels for FYs 2000-2001, estimated levels for FY 2002 and the FY 2003 request for transport, voluntary agencies (Volags), the World Food Program (WFP), and the International Emergency Food Reserve. The tables for Title II programs are broken out into two sections. The first section reflects funding at the country level. The second section reflects tonnage amounts.

USAID Operating Expenses (Table 7)

This table provides a summary breakout of the uses of USAID's Operating Expenses as well as the funding sources made available for Operating Expense use.

Office of Transition Initiatives (Table 8)

This table covers FYs 2000-2003 and breaks out actual or proposed transition assistance funding levels by country.
