Summary Tables
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
Overview
Most of the tables illustrate the foreign assistance budget request for FY 2006, which is a part of the President's Budget. The tables also include budget levels for FY 2003 through FY 2005 for comparison. The levels for FYs 2003 through 2005 are based on the FY 2003, FY 2004 and FY 2005 appropriations acts. FY 2003, FY 2004 and FY 2005 levels are post-rescission levels. FY 2003 and FY 2004 include supplementals: the FY 2003 Wartime Supplemental and the FY 2004 Emergency supplemental are shown under the applicable accounts as separate lines. FY 2005 also includes some emergency funds.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) administers certain U.S. bilateral assistance programs including the Child Survival and Health Programs Fund (CSH); the Development Assistance account (DA), and other specialized development assistance 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); International Disaster and Famine Assistance (IDFA); Transition Initiatives (TI) and Food For Peace Title II (P.L. 480). In FY 2003, FY 2004 and FY 2005, USAID also received funding under the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction 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. Funds appropriated are not always obligated within the year of appropriations if they are available for more than one year, which is the case for the DA, CSH, ESF, AEEB, IDFA, TI and FSA accounts.
On all tables amounts shown for FY 2006 represent proposed new budget authority (or the request level), which assumes no unobligated balances from prior years.
International Affairs Budget Authority Tracker - FYs 2003-2006 (Table 1)
Programs and activities within the International Affairs 150 Account fall under the jurisdiction of three main appropriation subcommittees. Table 1 shows the 150 account subdivided according to subcommittee jurisdiction (Foreign Operations, Agriculture, and Commerce/Justice/State) for FYs 2003 through 2006.
- 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 subcommittee 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. It also includes State Department accounts for counter-narcotics and anti-crime efforts, refugee assistance, and anti-terrorism assistance.
- The Agriculture portion of the 150 Account includes the food assistance provided under P.L. 480 II, which is appropriated to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) but is managed by USAID.
- The Commerce/Justice/State portion of the budget includes Department of State administrative operations, public information programs, and assessed contributions to international organizations.
Table 1 shows discretionary new budget authority levels for FYs 2003 and 2004, 2005, and the request level for FY 2006.
Illustrative Breakout of FY 2006, FY 2005 and FY 2004 USAID Sectors and Programs of Special Interest (Tables 2A, 2B, and 2C)
These tables include all USAID-managed program accounts, including those co-managed with the State Department. (It excludes accounts covering administrative expenses). Program funds are broken out by the Agency's three program sectors and then further broken down by programs of special interest.
Development Assistance and Child Survival and Health Programs Fund Accounts by Sectors and Special Interests (Tables 3A and 3B)
These tables are similar to Table 2, but cover only the programs funded under the DA and CSH accounts and cover the four-year period of FY 2003-FY 2006; accounts are also broken out by bureaus.
USAID Country Allocation Summary - Appropriated Levels: FYs 2003-2006 (Tables 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D).
These tables show appropriated levels for FY 2003, FY 2004 and FY 2005, and the requested appropriations for FY 2006.
The appropriations tables show the levels by bureau and country for 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 to or from other accounts, or funds available under the deobligation/reobligation authority.
USAID Country Allocation Summary - Obligation Levels: FYs 2003-2004 (actuals) - (Tables 5A and 5B).
These tables show the obligations by bureau and country for CSH, DA, ESF, AEEB and FSA. The PL 480 data, however, are the same as in the appropriation spigots.
The program level tables for FY 2003 and FY 2004 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 - Title II Dollars and Tonnage (Tables 6A and 6B)
USAID is responsible for the administration and implementation of P.L. 480 Title II. Table 6A shows actual program levels for FYs 2003, 2004, estimated levels for FY 2005 and the FY 2006 request for transport, voluntary agencies (Volags), the World Food Program (WFP), and the International Emergency Food Reserve. Table 6B reflects tonnage amounts.
