Budget Justification to the Congress
Fiscal Year 2007
On behald of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) 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 2007.
The FY 2007 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 democracy and recovery.
The request sets priorities that use aid effectively to promote real transformation in developing countries committed to reform, but not yet MCA-eligible. It also helps states that are more vulnerable or crisis-prone to advance stability, security and reform as the platform for transformational development. It 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, malaria, avian influenza, global climate change, international trade agreements, and counternarcotics.
USAID's programs and objectives are described in detail in the following chapters and accompanying annex. Your favorable consideration of the Administration's economic assistance budget request is requested.
Frederick W. Schieck
Acting Administrator
