ACCOUNT TABLES
Success in all our efforts requires our globally deployed workforce to operate on
the frontlines of international challenges. We are seeking increased funding for
i
Diplomatic Security to ensure the safety of our personnel and facilities while
enabling robust on-the-ground engagement at over 275 overseas posts and 100
domestic sites; sustain and expand the U.S. presence in the Pacific Islands; and
potentially re-establish a diplomatic presence in Libya. The request will also
ensure the Department’s ability to sustain medical support for the U.S. workforce
and provide fair and competitive wages for local guards who help keep our
personnel safe around the world.
In all that we do, we will continue to bring to bear all the tools of U.S. diplomacy
and development to rally our allies and partners to work alongside us in addressing
these issues. Because when we mobilize those who share our interests and values
– in governments and multilateral institutions, the private sector, philanthropy, and
civil society – we are in a stronger position to ensure our foreign policy delivers for
the American people, and people around the world.
Too often, international infrastructure and trade deals are opaque and coercive.
They lead to projects that are environmentally destructive and poorly built; import
or abuse workers; foster corruption; and burden countries with unmanageable debt.
Both mandatory and discretionary Partnership for Global Infrastructure and
Investment funds will allow us to demonstrate the United States does it differently
from our competitors – making investments that are transparent, high-quality, and
sustainable for the planet; empowering local communities and respecting their
rights; and yielding more resilient and connected economies.
We learned over the past few years again how integral it is for U.S. foreign policy
to focus on the challenges of the global commons. We will spearhead international
efforts to bolster economic, energy, food, and health security, mitigate the climate
crisis, and address irregular migration – global challenges that increasingly affect
Americans at home.
We face an existential climate crisis that can only be addressed through global
action in this decisive decade to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius;
beyond this point impacts will become increasingly severe. The President’s budget
responds to this unparalleled challenge by fulfilling his pledge to work with
ii
Congress to provide over $11 billion in climate finance annually. This will allow
the United States to spur ambitious reductions in greenhouse gas emissions,
support the implementation of those reductions, and help more than 500 million
people adapt to and manage the impact of climate change.
The President’s budget will also support the ongoing U.S. government response to
the global food security crisis that is a result of Putin’s unprovoked invasion of
Ukraine, the lingering effects of COVID-19, and changing weather patterns.
Resources will enhance agricultural practices, promote a more resilient agricultural
sector, reduce overall agricultural emissions, and integrate nutrition-sensitive
approaches.
The President’s request provides resources to support new opportunities for the
Middle East region, including through the newly requested Middle East and North
Africa Opportunity Fund, while supporting our enduring commitments to allies and
partners in the region, including Israel and Jordan.
In Africa, the request will advance U.S. interests and bolster our partnerships by
strengthening democratic institutions, advancing peace and security, countering
violent extremism, promoting trade and commercial ties, and creating an enabling
environment for investment. All these efforts ensure we uphold our side of our
partnership with the African people – including by furthering initiatives that
emerged from the Summit for Democracy and the U.S.-Africa Leaders’ Summit.
With rising authoritarianism around the world, we must reinforce our support to
countries that are experiencing promising moments of democratic opportunity.
The President’s budget will allow the United States to surge short-and medium-
term resources to such countries to bolster democratic resilience.
As complex and protracted conflicts, more frequent and severe natural disasters,
the global impacts of Putin’s war in Ukraine, and increasing acute food insecurity
coincide to drive unprecedented humanitarian need, we must continue to provide
iii
life-saving humanitarian assistance around the world. We will reinvigorate U.S.
humanitarian leadership, provide lifesaving assistance, and further Administration
priorities related to food security, protection, and migration. This request will
enable us to provide emergency food assistance; nutrition; shelter; protection;
disaster risk reduction; water, sanitation, and hygiene; health; logistics;
coordination; and livelihoods support in response to disasters overseas, including
in Türkiye and Syria, the Horn of Africa, and Yemen. It will also promote early
recovery, build resilience, and reduce risk in communities vulnerable to recurrent
humanitarian crises.
The Department and USAID must continue to invest in our workforce and
modernize American diplomacy to meet the tests of the 21st century. The
President’s request will help us build professional expertise and training capacity
in areas critical to U.S. national security in the years ahead, including cyberspace
and emerging technologies, climate and clean energy, and economic statecraft, as
well as to ensure the Department and USAID continue to attract, retain, and
develop a world-class workforce. These efforts require a sustained investment in
foundational initiatives to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion; enhance
cybersecurity; modernize our technology and communications; and strategically
manage our global facility portfolio. And we will drive forward an ambitious
effort to modernize American diplomacy and development, focusing on the
modernization agenda, to ensure we are equipped to meet the challenges and seize
the opportunities of our time.
The United States must pay its assessed contributions for multilateral organizations
in full and on time. When we pay our bills, we have a greater capacity to shape
international institutions, focus them on our priorities, and bring about the reforms
we want. By contrast, when we fail to deliver on our financial obligations, our
adversaries exploit our late payments to question our credibility and leadership and
fill the void. To achieve the President’s objective of renewing, strengthening, and
leveraging U.S. leadership in multilateral organizations, the President’s budget
includes funding for the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
iv
Organization and peacekeeping arrears, as well as to begin synchronizing
contributions to the United Nations.
U.S. leadership in global health and health security protects American lives,
sustains U.S. economic progress, and supports the rise of capable local partners
who can solve regional and global problems. We must celebrate historic progress
while recognizing that significant work remains to ensure a safer and more secure
world. The Department and USAID will invest in combating global infectious
diseases; strengthening global health security capacity; preventing child and
maternal deaths; and, through the President’s Global Health Worker Initiative,
bolstering the health workforce. These investments are critical to strengthening
health systems as they recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and will ensure the
world is better prepared to prevent, detect, and respond to future infections disease
threats. Our request expands our support for the Pandemic Fund, which builds on
U.S. global health security investments. The Fund provides a structured platform
to catalyze funding from other partners and organizations, and it helps us better
account for and measure international gaps and gains in global health security and
pandemic preparedness.
To ensure that we meet our commitment to our Afghan partners who served
alongside us, we are requesting Congress establish an Enduring Welcome account
to provide a consolidated, flexible funding source to meet these complex
responsibilities.

STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE AND ACTING ON EVIDENCE
Statement of Performance
The Department of State (the Department) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
implement planning and performance processes to enhance U.S. foreign policy in support of the National
Security Strategy, the Biden-Harris Administration’s top foreign policy priorities, and the United States’
development and humanitarian goals. The Department’s and USAID’s policies accord with key laws,
including the Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA), the
Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act of 2016 (FATAA), the Program Management
Improvement Accountability Act of 2016 (PMIAA), and the Foundations for Evidence-Based
Policymaking Act of 2018 (Evidence Act). The Department and USAID coordinate strategic planning
and performance management at the agency, bureau, and country levels to efficiently and effectively
achieve the United States’ foreign policy priorities. Performance and planning processes are directly
linked to the Fiscal Year 2022-2026 State-USAID Joint Strategic Plan (JSP).
The Department and USAID use strategic planning to articulate priorities, advance U.S. foreign policy,
and provide greater transparency and accountability to the American people. Strategic plans are the basis
for mission and bureau resource requests, inform the Department and USAID’s Congressional Budget
Justification (CBJ), and provide a framework through which the Department and USAID collaborate and
monitor progress.
The JSP guides the Department’s and USAID’s bureau and mission strategic plans for FY 2022 through
FY 2026. The JSP is also the management tool both organizations use to measure their progress on their
diplomatic and development objectives. The JSP is informed by leadership priorities, applicable
Executive Orders, Presidential directives and policies, and the National Security Strategy. Feedback
received from the National Security Council staff, the Office of Management and Budget, and
Congressional oversight committees was also integrated into the JSP. The JSP Framework, which
comprises five overarching goals and 19 objectives, is shown on the following page.
The Department and USAID use the JSP as a guide to develop and tailor bureau and country-level
strategies for geographic context and cross-cutting priorities. The Department and USAID use these
strategies to inform program, policy, and activity planning, and specify performance metrics to measure
progress.
Country-level strategies are flexible and dynamic learning and management tools that the Department and
USAID can adjust to respond to new policy priorities and emerging evidence. Department and USAID
policies require regular progress reviews such as USAID’s annual portfolio reviews and the Department’s
strategy implementation and progress reviews to reflect on progress toward achieving country strategic
objectives. Missions and bureaus refer to the Administration’s strategic priorities included in their
strategies to inform and prioritize resource requests in the annual Bureau Resource Requests (BRRs) and
Mission Resource Requests (MRRs).

Performance Management
Sound strategic planning, program design, and performance management are the basis for the effective
and efficient use of State Department resources to achieve the United States’ strategic goals. Program
design articulates how the Department plans to achieve the strategic goals for a sector, region, or country;
and performance management enables the Department to assess the extent to which their efforts are
working and why. The Department’s Program and Project Design, Monitoring, and Evaluation
Policy details how to implement these principles. Their implementation helps the Department better
understand what is and is not working and what might be changed to achieve more effective
outcomes. To that end, the Department’s policy requires all programs to document goals, objectives, and
monitoring and evaluation plans and requires all bureaus and independent offices to conduct evaluations,
disseminate, and use performance data and evaluation findings. The Department’s Program Design and
Performance Management Toolkit supports the implementation of these performance principles.
USAID implements an integrated Program Cycle Operational Policy, which is USAID’s framework for
strategically planning, implementing, assessing, and adapting programs that support countries to advance
their development outcomes. The Program Cycle provides policy and procedures for making strategic
programming decisions to ensure effective use of foreign assistance resources. USAID integrates
continuous learning throughout all Program Cycle components to manage programs adaptively and
achieve better results. By robustly monitoring and evaluating programs, USAID generates evidence on
progress in achieving short- and long-term objectives. USAID also implements Mission-wide
Performance Management Plans (PMPs) to ensure USAID effectively monitors, evaluates, learns from,
and adapts its country programs.
The Department and USAID also developed a new set of Agency Priority Goals (APGs) to support the
JSP. The Department and USAID identified three joint APGs and worked in close collaboration to
implement and track progress on APGs for HIV/AIDS; Climate Change; and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion,
and Accessibility in the Workforce. In addition, representing agency leadership’s key priorities for
improvement, the Department also has four State-only APGs including Data Informed Diplomacy;
Cybersecurity; Equity Across Foreign Affairs Work; and Enhancing Security Monitoring Solutions;
USAID has four USAID-only APGs: Resilience and Food Security; Preventing Child and Maternal
Deaths; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) in USAID Programs; and Democracy and
Governance.
Both agencies also jointly establish an Annual Performance Plan (APP), which outlines how they will
assess progress toward their JSP objectives. Both agencies also qualitatively and quantitatively analyze
and report on their progress implementing the JSP through the joint Annual Performance Report (APR).
Missions and Embassies report annually on Standard Foreign Assistance Indicators, and both track
evaluations they have planned, that are ongoing, and that they have completed each fiscal year. The
Department and USAID will publish the joint FY 2024 APP/FY 2022 APR in May 2023 on
www.state.gov and www.USAID.gov.
Acting on Evidence
State and USAID collect and use data and evidence to improve how effectively and efficiently they
implement their program and manage their operations, to ensure they are accountable to stakeholders, and
to support organizational learning and decision-making.

U.S. Department of State
Following enactment of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act (Public Law No. 115-
435) (Evidence Act) in 2019, the Department engaged with leadership, performance, and evaluation
professionals across the Department to implement this groundbreaking legislation to advance evidence-
building in the Federal government by improving access to data and expanding evaluation capacity. The
Department published its inaugural Learning Agenda in May 2022 (Learning Agenda 2022-2026) and
held a public launch in June of the same year. Implementing the more than 140 evidence-building
activities (“learning activities”) across most Department bureaus began earlier in the winter of
2021. Department of State regional and functional bureaus completed multiple learning activities during
the Learning Agenda’s first year providing critical evidence to senior diplomatic leaders to frame policy
decisions at the Department on issues such as internet freedom, rule of law, advancing equity in
diplomatic engagement, digital diplomacy, global health, climate, and anti-corruption, among
others. Learning activities highlights include the following completed and ongoing efforts:
• To achieve the Department’s mission, bureaus rely on multiple tools to communicate with their
workforce and diplomatic counterparts overseas. To hone the efficacy of some of these tools and
processes, the Department analyzed data of diplomatic cables and their responses as part of the
Multilateralism Data Campaign. In addition to enhancing the transparency of the demarche
process from start to finish, these advanced analytics have highlighted the need to improve cable
coding and demarche standard operating procedures at the Department.
• The Department completed audience research in several countries to ascertain foreign publics’
understanding of climate change and to test the effectiveness of various messages at influencing
attitudes on the issue of climate change. Lessons learned from the study are now being
incorporated into new messaging.
• A case study looked at U.S. multilateral efforts to combat the international synthetic opioid crisis-
-a major global public health issue. The study generated evidence which is now informing the
Secretary and the Department’s continuing engagement efforts on this dangerous issue, as well as
other global public health issues.
• Through the ongoing “Data for the Decisive Decade” Climate Data Campaign, the Department is
developing a portfolio of data products to more strategically, effectively, and efficiently shape a
global response to the climate crisis that keeps a safe climate future within reach and helps more
than half a billion people build resilience to climate impacts. This enables U.S. diplomats to have
comprehensive information readily available on key metrics, saving hours of employee time. The
portfolio of data products incorporates key data elements around mitigation, adaptation,
11
programming, and integration to visualize how United States Government activity aligns with
country need. The Department is using these products to test what combination of climate
diplomacy tools is most effective at addressing the climate crisis while minimizing time spent on
manual reviews.
The Department also published a Capacity Assessment analyzing the extent to which bureaus can
generate and apply evidence through performance monitoring, evaluation, and research and analysis. The
Department also produces an Annual Evaluation Plan. Together, with the Learning Agenda, these three
documents catalogue plans for research and evidence synthesis relevant to the Department’s mission and
assess the Department’s ability to carry out evidence-building activities. All three documents are
available on State.gov and Evaluation.gov. The Department’s Performance Improvement Officer,
Director of Foreign Assistance, Chief Data Officer, Statistical Official, and co-Evaluation Officers
collaborate on Evidence Act implementation activities through frequent consultations and progress
reviews.
As part of the Secretary’s Modernization Agenda priorities, the Department is piloting a new program for
six bureaus to establish bureau-level CDOs, with the plan to further broaden dedicated data expertise to
inform policy and management decision making. While addressing Evidence Act requirements, the
Bureau Chief Data Officers (BCDOs) will support bureau leadership by infusing evidence into decision
making, leading analytic efforts, managing data assets, and advancing enterprise data alignment through
coordinated processes and infrastructure. After piloting this effort in FY 2023, the Department expects to
expand the BCDO program to additional bureaus in FY 2024.
Furthermore, through the implementation of the Department’s first-ever Enterprise Data Strategy, the
Department’s foreign policy and management experts have successfully leveraged data science, data
policy, and data technology expertise to make higher-quality data and data assets more widely available to
the Department’s workforce, senior leadership, and the public.
Build staff capacity to use data and evidence throughout the planning, performance management, project
management and evaluation processes
The Department provides training courses and technical assistance to help staff integrate data and
evidence into each stage of our work. The Department revised the Strategic Planning and Performance
Management course, relaunched in February 2023, to better reflect current learning needs, which will
12
increase the number of staff with skills in strategic planning, program design, and performance
assessment. The Managing Evaluations course is now offered in a distance learning format. In addition,
the Department introduced an Integrated Country Strategy implementation regional course to strengthen
skills at post in the implementation and management of their new strategies. Technical assistance from
skilled staff as well as toolkits for strategic planning, program design, performance management, and
evaluation are easily accessible and proactively offered through multiple forums. Consistent with the
FATAA, foreign assistance management tools are available through the Foreign Assistance Resource
Library (FARL). Foreign assistance evaluations are posted publicly on the FARL’s Foreign Assistance
Evaluations page.
The Department began a strategy and resource review process in 2019 to inform development of the
annual budget request, which continued through 2022. This process used data and evidence to highlight
the relationship between strategic priorities, performance, and resource allocations. The Department
continues to refine the process to enable senior leadership of the Department and USAID to better assess
progress on our core strategies and how the allocation of resources is advancing the Administration’s
foreign policy and assistance priorities. These reviews are jointly conducted with USAID and serve as
our Annual Strategic Review required by GPRAMA and OMB circular A-11.
The State Department and USAID jointly launched a new, consolidated ForeignAssistance.gov website in
August 2021, that provides a single, public-facing view of U.S. foreign assistance data. It is the U.S.
government’s flagship website for making U.S. foreign assistance data available to the public. It serves
as the central resource for budgetary and financial data produced by U.S. government agencies that
manage foreign assistance portfolios. In keeping with the U.S. government’s commitment to
transparency, ForeignAssistance.gov presents U.S. foreign assistance in accurate and understandable
terms.
The updated website is consistent with transparency standards and reporting requirements, including the
FATAA, Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act, and Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Bulletin 12-01. More than 160,000 users have viewed the site more than 750,000 times since its
launch. The website will continue to collect and publish foreign assistance data from more than 20 U.S.
government agencies that manage foreign assistance programs. In FY 2021, State and USAID created a
joint Foreign Assistance Data and Reporting Team (FA-DART) to support consolidating
ForeignAssistance.gov and Explorer.USAID.gov.
USAID is recognized by external organizations like Results for America, and by reports published by the
Government Accountability Office and the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, as a leader
among federal agencies in building and acting on evidence for decision-making. USAID’s Program
Cycle Operational Policy (ADS 201) is the foundation for USAID implementing the FATAA and the
Evidence Act. Through the Program Cycle Policy, USAID helps ensure it bases its country strategies,
projects, and activities on evidence, monitors and evaluates their effectiveness, and strives to achieve
sustainable development results. As part of implementing the Evidence Act, USAID prioritizes nine
learning questions in the Agency Learning Agenda (ALA) for 2022 to 2026 and addresses them through
USAID’s Annual Evaluation Plan and other learning investments. An operational excellence learning
agenda feeds into the ALA and is informed by our annual customer service survey. In addition, USAID’s
newly established Office of the Chief Economist is charged with the mandate to increase the use of cost
13
effectiveness evidence to inform strategy and activity design and to build USAID capacity to design and
carry out impact evaluations and experimental operations research which employ insights from behavioral
science.
USAID used leading practices to develop its FY 2022-2026 ALA, which included coordinating and
collaborating with key stakeholders to assess existing evidence and prioritize new evidence needs.1 In its
ALA, USAID includes nine learning questions that focus on the Administration's highest policy priorities.
USAID’s ALA aligns with policy priorities within the JSP and the forthcoming USAID Policy
Framework. Since launching the ALA in May 2022, USAID is implementing its ALA through a series of
key activities, which include coordination meetings with stakeholders, quarterly peer learning events and
learning digests, an annual set of events to synthesize and share learning and evidence, and ongoing
support to Missions and activities. USAID held two peer learning events in 2022 focused on migration
and locally led development. USAID is currently planning for annual Agency Learning and Evidence
events in early 2023 which will convene internal and external stakeholders to share and discuss evidence.
Together, through its ALA activities, USAID engages key stakeholders in building and using evidence to
inform decisions to help the Agency achieve its highest policy priorities.
Recent Major Progress in Building Evidence, Advancing the Use of Evidence in Decision Making, and
Increasing the Agency’s Capacity to Build and Use Evidence
In FY 2021, USAID commissioned 97 program evaluations that were completed. This was a significant
drop from 154 evaluations completed in FY 2020, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which
affected USAID’s ability to implement its evaluation activities. In FY 2022, USAID published a
Capacity Assessment for Evaluation, Research, Statistics, and other Analysis, through which USAID
assessed its ability and infrastructure to conduct evidence building activities like foundational fact
finding, performance measurement, policy analysis, and program evaluation. In its Capacity Assessment,
USAID demonstrates that the evaluations its Operating Units (OUs) conduct cover the range of the
Agency’s foreign assistance programs. USAID also produces an agency-wide Annual Evaluation Plan
that describes significant evaluation activities the Agency plans to conduct each fiscal year. In the FY
2023 Annual Evaluation Plan, USAID identified 33 significant evaluations of Agency activities across 17
OUs, which USAID plans to begin or will complete in FY 2023. USAID defines “significant
evaluations” as evaluations that will help USAID answer an ALA question and that are: (1) performance
evaluations of activities with a budget of $40 million or more; or (2) impact evaluations, regardless of the
activity budget; or (3) ex-post evaluations regardless of the activity budget.
Current Barriers
USAID continuously learns and improves policies and practices to better build and use evidence. USAID
uses a holistic approach to monitoring, evaluation and learning as part of USAID’s Program Cycle where
its components - strategic planning, activity design and implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and
collaborating, learning, adapting (CLA) - build on and inform each other. USAID is addressing
challenges, which include improving the rigor and quality of its evaluations and ensuring it appropriately
analyzes, synthesizes, and uses evidence and data from evaluations and other sources to systematically
inform decisions. By implementing its ALA, USAID is learning more strategically and is prioritizing
evidence building activity investments around the Agency’s policy priorities. The ALA is regularly
updated to ensure the questions remain relevant for decision-makers.
14
Progress Implementing the Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act of 2016
USAID complies with FATAA through the Program Cycle policy and also meets the transparency
requirements of FATAA. The Agency continues to improve the quality and timeliness of the data it
reports. USAID will continue to improve its transparency efforts by publicly posting evaluation results
on the Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC) and increasing data use through developing and
adopting the Development Information Solution (DIS) to collect, store, and share data.
USAID continues to advance its transparency goals and implementation of FATAA by expanding
reporting through the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). In FY 2022, USAID began to
develop the process to publicly publish activity-level subnational and results data reported through the
DIS. The Agency will greatly expand its reporting in those areas once it finishes developing and
implements the process. The United States joined IATI in 2009 and began publishing data to IATI in
2014 to provide greater context for understanding foreign assistance activities and to increase the amount
and quality of financial and descriptive information available.
USAID is committed to advancing management of its data assets to deliver trustworthy data for statistical
purposes and decision-making. In accordance with laws and executive branch guidance, such as the
Evidence Act, the EO on Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence, the EO on
Promoting the Use of Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence, the White House Office of Science and
Technology Policy (OSTP) Memo Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded
Research, and other Federal data initiatives, USAID promotes best practices for data management and
using data through policy, staffing, processes, and digital infrastructure. In December 2021, USAID
published in the Federal Register a Digital Information Rule (Rule) through which USAID will
implement requirements for managing digital information and data as a strategic asset to inform the
planning, design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the Agency's foreign assistance
programs. In 2022, USAID responded to public comments on the proposed Digital Information
Rule. USAID also revised the Rule to more efficiently address the concerns of affected parties. USAID
will resubmit the revised Rule to the Federal Register in 2023.
In 2022, USAID also began modernizing its Enterprise Reporting Portal (ERP), which is the Agency’s
enterprise system for data sharing and reports. Through modernizing the ERP, USAID will enhance the
end-user experience by improving functionality for using the Agency’s administrative, financial, and
programmatic data. The upgrade promotes data quality, transparency of reporting requests, and
collaboration. In addition, the upgraded ERP will enable users to share data dashboards. Data shared in
dashboards will undergo a certification process to designate it as the most trustworthy, up-to-date data
available. In 2022, USAID’s Enterprise Review Board passed and signed the Technical Architecture and
Design specifications for the ERP modernization. USAID will launch the modernized ERP in 2023.
In 2022, USAID delivered a multi-agency data and analytics solution to support the Initiative for Global
Vaccine Access (GVAX). The modular platform enables data collection, analysis, and visualization to
more efficiently accelerate and report on COVID-19 vaccine uptake in partner countries across multiple
federal agencies. This multi-agency collaboration led USAID to successfully launch GVAX Dashboards
to share COVID-19 vaccination data with stakeholders across USAID, the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), the Department of State, the Department of Defense (DoD), Peace Corps, and the White House
and National Security Council staff. These dashboards synthesize data from U.S. Government and third-
party sources to summarize COVID-19 vaccine absorption, coverage, and supply, and contextual country-
level COVID-19 disease information across USAID countries.
15
In 2022, USAID also delivered an organizational health index pulling data from over 50 sources across
eight dimensions including: accountability, capabilities, direction, employee engagement, innovation and
learning, operational control, service orientation, and work environment. This tool provided for
leadership and staff the ability to continually assess areas for improvement across our programs and
operations, a practice now being adopted by the President’s Management Council.
Chaired by the Agency’s Chief Data Officer (CDO), USAID’s official data governance body, the DATA
Board, formed working groups in 2022 to address Data Disaggregation; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and
Accessibility (DEIA) data; Zero Trust Architecture Data Categorization; and Public Access Plan
Revision. To fulfill requirements of EO 13859 and 13960, the DATA Board Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Working Group compiled and submitted the USAID AI inventory to OMB in 2022. In 2023, the DATA
Board will further expand its Data Literacy Training program and certification, promote use of USAID’s
source code repository, address social media data usage policy, launch a public-facing interactive website
designed to showcase the Agency’s data, and pilot a data commons environment for advanced data
science and analytics. These data management efforts directly support USAID’s ability to deliver and
open high-quality, machine-readable administrative and program data for use. The CDO’s team also
maintains an internal dashboard that it shares with USAID’s Evaluation Officer and Statistical Official to
help track progress against milestones on an ongoing basis.
USAID proactively publishes the results of Agency-funded projects, activities, and initiatives on the
Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC), the Agency’s repository for reports, evaluations, and
other publications. In FY 2022, USAID published 12,780 new documents and digital artifacts to the
DEC, and uploaded metadata for 1,677 peer reviewed articles. USAID publishes project and activity-
related data on the Development Data Library (DDL), the Agency’s official data repository. The Agency
increased the total number of publicly available data assets (project and activity-related datasets) by 3
percent in FY 2022 compared to FY 2021.
To assess operations and management, the Agency uses a number of tools, including business process
reviews, after action reviews, hotwashes, and recently issued new guidance on organizational
effectiveness reviews. These reviews build the evidence base to continually improve USAID’s
organizational health and reduce burdens imposed through Agency practice, process or internal policy.

The Diplomatic Programs (DP) appropriation is fundamental to the implementation of United States
foreign policy, providing the people, infrastructure, security, and programs that facilitate productive and
peaceful U.S. relations with foreign governments and international organizations worldwide. These
activities span 41 bureaus and offices, 195 countries, and 275 diplomatic posts.
The DP appropriation contains four categories (Human Resources, Overseas Programs, Diplomatic Policy
and Support, and Security Programs) and three major programmatic allocations (Program Operations,
Public Diplomacy, and Worldwide Security Protection). Program Operations and Public Diplomacy (PD)
are referred to collectively as “Ongoing Operations.”
The FY 2024 DP Request is $10,433.8 million, an increase of $883.6 million above the FY 2023
Adjusted Enacted level. This Budget level includes $6,367.7 million for Ongoing Operations and
$4,066.2 million for Worldwide Security Protection (WSP).
The Department’s FY 2024 Request for DP Ongoing Operations is $6,367.7 million, with $5,629.2
million for Program Operations and $738.5 million for PD. The Request is a net increase of $631.2
million above the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted level. Major changes include: an increase of $105.5 million
for the proposed 5.2 percent American Pay Raise for calendar year 2024 and the annualization of the 2023
American pay raise; an increase of $15.8 million for annualization of positions; -$25.5 million realigned
from the Bureau of Administration to other bureaus to fund real property Working Capital Fund
adjustments; and targeted programmatic increases within each category detailed below. Given the
significant rise in global inflation and its associated impact on Locally Employed (LE) Staff wages, the
FY 2024 request includes $52.6 million for increased LE staff wages and $13.5 million for Overseas Price
inflation for overseas personnel expenses.
The FY 2024 Request reflects two planned reorganizations, both of which are pending completion of
Congressional Notification (CN) procedures: the Office of Harassment and Bullying Intervention (CN 22-
382) within the Bureau of Global Talent Management (GTM/HBI) and the new Bureau of Global Health
Security and Diplomacy (GHSD) (CN 22-379), which would provide a single voice of leadership on
global health security.
The Budget includes $83.3 million for continued expansion of programs to foster diversity and inclusion
further supporting the President’s Executive Orders (Executive Order 13985,“Advancing Racial Equity
and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government”; Executive Order 13988,
“Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation”;
Executive Order 14020, “Establishment of the White House Gender Policy Council”; and Executive
Order 14035, “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce”).
In addition, the Request: aligns with the Administration’s commitment to strengthening Diversity, Equity,
Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) programs; continues the Department’s paid internships program;
provides workforce training in FY 2024 in leadership and substantive areas focused on DEIA; integrates
modernized recruitment methods mirroring industry best practices; bolsters recruitment and retention of
22
Department employees from varied backgrounds; promotes a workplace free of discrimination,
harassment, or other behavior detrimental to an inclusive and positive work environment; expands
Department employees' understanding of DEIA; engages diverse stakeholders for policy and program
consultation; provides increased support for persons with disabilities that now qualify for overseas
employment at certain posts due to changes in the Department’s worldwide availability policy; and
establishes a DEIA Data Dashboard to share demographic baseline data with the workforce.
The Department seeks to have DP Ongoing Operations funding appropriated with two-year availability to
provide greater flexibility and streamline execution of funding during the second year of availability.
Human Resources: $3,894.8 million, including funding for 97 new positions (26 Civil
Service and 71 Foreign Service)
Resources requested in this category will be directed toward salaries for domestic and overseas American
employees (including employees engaged in Public Diplomacy and WSP programs). This category also

in-house training to Department employees and workers throughout the Federal government, as well as
the Bureau of Global Talent Management, which recruits and manages a diverse, talented workforce
equipped to effectively carry out the Department’s goals and priorities domestically and worldwide.
The Request supports a funded employment ceiling of 16,345 employees: 7,244 Civil Service (CS) and

The highest priority of the Bureau of Consular Affairs (CA) is to protect the lives and serve the interests
of U.S. citizens abroad. Across the globe, CA serves our fellow citizens during some of their most
important and vulnerable moments – births, adoptions, medical emergencies, deaths, arrests, and
disasters. CA also helps U.S. citizens explore the world by issuing millions of U.S. passports each
year. The Consular and Border Security Programs (CBSP) also enables the Department to provide
routine and emergency consular services to the millions of U.S. citizens who travel internationally and
reside abroad.
National security underpins all aspects of consular work. To protect U.S. borders from evolving threats at
home and abroad, CA coordinates proactively with foreign governments and interagency partners -- such
as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Department of the
Treasury, and intelligence and law enforcement communities to protect U.S. borders from threats at home
and abroad.
Revenues from the Department-retained consular fees and surcharges deposited in the Consular and
Border Security Programs (CBSP) account fund the activities performed by CA and its partner
bureaus. Retained fees and surcharges include Machine Readable Visa (MRV) fees, Western Hemisphere
Travel Initiative (WHTI) surcharges, the Passport Security Surcharge (PSS), the Immigrant Visa Security
Surcharge (IVSS), Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery fees, Fraud Prevention and Detection (H&L) fees,
Affidavit of Support (AoS) Review fees, Expedited Passport Fees (EPF), and J-Waiver fees. Each
consular fee or surcharge is used to fund the CBSP program and activities consistent with the applicable
statutory authorities. In addition, Passport Application and Execution Fees (PAEF) are collected and
retained in the CBSP account; however, these fees are not available for expenditure absent specific budget
authority. For FY 2024, the Department requests authority to spend $250 million of these fees to
reinforce the principle that these collections should be available to cover U.S. citizen services and
passport services, offset with a proposed cancellation of $250 million in other CBSP prior-year balances.
In FY 2024, international travel will likely have recovered to pre-pandemic levels. CA’s projected visa
demand assumes changes in international business and travel normalized following the pandemic will
continue to reflect a slightly decreased demand for visas, whereas demand for U.S. passports will
continue to increase. Thus, consular revenue will continue to rely more on demand for passport services
than for visa services. CA projects 11.1 million Non-Immigrant Visa (NIV) receipts in FY 2024, a slight
increase from FY 2023, but still below pre-pandemic levels. The FY 2024 passport demand estimate of
19.1 million applications is a decrease of 4 percent from FY 2023 projections but remains higher than pre-
pandemic norms.
For FY 2024, the Department anticipates collecting $434 million in Passport Application and Execution
Fees, to be credited as offsetting collection, and requests authority to spend $250 million of these fees.
This reinforces the principle that these collections should be available to cover U.S. citizen services and
passport services. To offset this increased spending authority relative to FY 2023, the Budget proposes
cancellation of $250 million in other CBSP prior-year balances.
The following information table displays projected obligations for the CBSP in FY 2024, including
increases/decreases from FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted.

The Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995, established the Capital Investment
Fund (CIF) for the development of Information Technology (IT) and other related programs for the
Department of State. The Department utilizes the CIF to enhance its cybersecurity posture, develop new
IT systems, procure enterprise-level software licenses, and modernize legacy IT infrastructure, such as
financial, personnel and logistics applications. Prior to FY 2023, the IT Central Fund (ITCF) had been
comprised of both the CIF appropriation and a portion of Expedited Passport Fee (EPF) revenues.
The FY 2024 CIF Request of $491.6 million represents a $102.6 million increase over the FY 2023
Adjusted Enacted level. The ITCF bolsters the Department’s cybersecurity posture through development
and procurement activities that support implementation of both Executive Order 14028, Improving the
Nation’s Cybersecurity, as well as OMB Memorandum M-22-09 Moving the U.S. Government Toward
Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles. Cybersecurity investments include Zero Trust programs, Cyber
Event Logging, Increased Cloud Security, and Security Operations Center (SOC) Maturation.

The Working Capital Fund (WCF) operates under the legal authority of section 13 of the State
Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2684) and does not receive direct
appropriations. The WCF is a collection of 14 service centers: administrative services; freight
forwarding; global publishing solutions; library; operations; information technology services; information
technology desktop support; procurement; post-assignment travel; medical services; aviation services;
special issuance passport services; services to the offices of foreign missions; and real property
management. Funding is generated in the WCF from the provision of goods and services to the
Department, other Federal agencies, and non-Federal sources. The fees collected from customers are
used to pay for the acquisition of resources needed to ensure the continuous operation of the various WCF
activities.
Customer collections are the cornerstone of the WCF business model. The WCF harnesses efficiencies
through the leveraging of economies of scale, centralized cost control, and elimination of duplication
across the organization. Like any other business, cash flow and carryover from year-to-year depend on
when services are provided and when payments are received. Carryover allows the critical functions of
the WCF to continue to operate smoothly at the beginning of each fiscal year, as well as during periods
when revenue is adversely impacted, such as during a pandemic. Available funds also enable capital
improvements and technology investments for WCF activities. Estimated FY 2024 obligations by service
center are summarized below:

The Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act of 2022 (Div. A, P.L. 117-167)
established a new International Technology Security and Innovation Fund (ITSI Fund), which authorizes
and appropriates $500.0 million ($100.0 million per year over five years, starting in FY 2023). This
funding is available to the Secretary of State to “provide for international information and
communications technology security and semiconductor supply chain activities, including to support the
development and adoption of secure and trusted telecommunications technologies, secure
semiconductors, semiconductor supply chains, and other emerging technologies.” The ITSI Fund
advances the purposes of the CHIPS Act, including up to $4.5 million per year for salaries, expenses, and
administration; and $500,000 per year for oversight by the Office of the Inspector General.
Semiconductors and telecommunications networks are critical domains of global technology competition.
Securing long-term U.S. national security and economic competitiveness hinges on the ability to: restore
U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing; bring cost-competitive trustworthy suppliers to the
telecommunication market; and secure semiconductor supply chains. For example, if the United States’
adversaries can disrupt segments of the chip supply, they can negatively impact billions of dollars’ worth
of manufacturing and tens of thousands of jobs in the U.S. economy. If U.S. adversaries dominate global
telecommunications networks, they have the means to manipulate or disrupt essential services, critical
infrastructure, and supply chains with the push of a button. As international adversaries increase their
sway in both of these sectors, they will be better able to export authoritarian practices and undermine
democratic governance.
The United States is mobilizing the full range of tools at its disposal to promote U.S. competitiveness in
these sectors, including through: the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII); the
Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF); Digital Transformation with Africa (DTA); the
Americas Partnership for Economic Prosperity (APEP); the U.S.-E.U. Trade and Technology Council
(TTC); and overall implementation of the CHIPS Act. The State Department, through diplomacy and
foreign assistance, is working to support U.S. leadership, national and economic security, and prosperity
in these sectors, as well as enhance partnerships with key allies. USAID, the Development Finance
Corporation (DFC), Export-Import Bank (EXIM), U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), and
other U.S. government agencies are integral partners in these efforts.
45
The CHIPS Act requires the President to submit to Congress detailed allocations of the amounts made
available under the ITSI Fund, with FY 2024 as the first year for these to be submitted as part of the
President’s Budget. The Department’s proposed FY 2024 allocations are for the Bureau of International
Security and Nonproliferation (ISN), the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs (EB), the Office of
the Chief Economist (OCE), the Bureau of Energy Resources (ENR), and the Bureau of Cyberspace and
Digital Policy (CDP). These activities build on the FY 2023 Report to Congress on Proposed
Allocations, submitted on November 7, 2022, and on the allocations in the FY 2023 Joint Explanatory
Statement accompanying the FY 2023 appropriations act.
Securing the global supply chain hinges on the United States’ ability to restore its place among global
leaders in semiconductor manufacturing technology. The goal of the CHIPS Act is to make the global
semiconductor supply chain more resilient, diversified, and secure. The Department of Commerce’s
programs to promote the building of leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the United
States and to support U.S. research and development are the centerpiece of this effort.
The Department of State proposes to use FY 2024 ITSI funds to develop the international environment
U.S. semiconductor manufacturing facilities need to succeed. There are three critical nodes in the
semiconductor supply chain: (1) generating upstream inputs; (2) chip fabrication; and (3) downstream
processing. The Department’s aim is to meet essential needs at each node (see figure 1) in the following
ways:
Upstream Inputs: Critical Materials Project: $6.0 million, Economic Support Fund
Funding will support increased production of the critical materials U.S. chip makers will need. Where
domestic production is not feasible or sufficient, this will mean evaluating partner countries’ ability to
add/expand production. The Department will also identify and implement regulatory capacity-building
and technical assistance in target nations to attract private investment. (Lead: State/ENR)
State will coordinate with partner economies to support more resilient and diversified semiconductor
supply chains. This effort may include: developing common or complementary approaches to industry
incentives; improving coordination during supply disruptions; and cooperation on semiconductor
over/under supply to help the private sector respond. (Lead: State/EB)
The Department will continue to develop an informal, multilateral semiconductor protection action group,
as well as maintain a secure information-sharing platform that will maximize the timely exchange of
select unclassified, non-proprietary export licensing data amongst a select group of semiconductor
technology suppliers. The Department will also continue to support strategic opportunities to strengthen
semiconductor security with allies and partners. (Lead: State/ISN)
Downstream: Capacity Building in the Americas and Indo-Pacific: $20.0 million, Economic Support
Funds, and $17.0 million, Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining, and Related Programs.
There is currently not enough international testing, packaging, and assembly capacity to support new U.S.
facilities, and the capacity that does currently exist is geographically concentrated. These factors have
recently triggered market shortages. To address this gap, the State Department will support downstream
46
processing capacity in target regions where additional capacity is needed to support domestic U.S. efforts.
This support will include efforts to bolster assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) operations.
The Department will work to identify existing or potential bottlenecks in infrastructure, regulatory
environment, or workforce in key economies. The Department will then work with interagency partners
such as USAID to help fill those gaps, engaging host governments, industry, and stakeholders to build
technical capacity and develop the workforce needed to facilitate new investments that will complement
the growth of new U.S. chip production. (Lead: State/EB)
The Department will strengthen control policies to address proliferation threats by ensuring that needed
increases in supply chain diversity do not create new loopholes adversaries can exploit to access leading-
edge chips and technology. To prevent technology transfer, the State Department will help foreign
partners in key regions to strengthen their regulatory environments, implementation practices, and
enforcement measures, including export controls, intangible technology transfer (ITT) controls, internal
compliance, investment screening, intellectual property protection, visa vetting, law enforcement, judicial
processes, and outreach to industry. (Lead: State/ISN)
The Department will conduct international supply chain data analysis to identify potential bottlenecks and
problematic market concentrations. This activity will include mapping entity relationships to identify
entities of potential concern. The State Department will leverage this analysis to guide programming and
benchmark progress. (Lead: State/OCE)
The Department will promote improved quality and speed of semiconductor supply chain protection
policymaking through the provision of consistent access to unclassified semiconductor industry data and
analysis. (Lead: State/ISN)

Secure and Trustworthy Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
The State Department’s long-term objective with respect to secure ICT networks and services is to help
partners harness the benefits of a vibrant digital economy underpinned by secure and trustworthy ICT
infrastructure and services. Due to market distorting practices, untrustworthy telecommunications
suppliers dominate, or are on the verge of dominating, the telecommunications infrastructure ecosystems
in many countries. In addition to creating critical security challenges, their market position creates a
“lock-in” effect, increasing opportunities to export authoritarian models of Internet governance along with
ICT infrastructure and services. The lack of low-cost options is a significant barrier to partners’ use of
secure and trustworthy ICT network equipment and services.
With FY 2024 ITSI Funds, the Department will work to position partners around the world to be able to
harness the benefits of a vibrant digital economy through the development and adoption of secure and
trustworthy ICT networks. To achieve this objective, the FY 2024 ITSI funding will build upon and
expand FY 2023 programming along the following workstreams:
Develop, strengthen, and expand international enabling environments for secure ICT networks and
services: $10.7 million, Economic Support Fund
The Department will provide capacity building training and technical advisory support to raise risk
awareness and support the adoption of policy and regulatory frameworks that ensure trust and security are
central decision-making factors across the ICT ecosystem. Programs will also work to advance policies
that promote telecommunications supplier diversity, including through the development and adoption of
open and interoperable network architectures. (Lead: State/CDP)
Deploy secure ICT networks and services in partner countries, including open and interoperable
network architectures, to drive innovation, increase competition, and drive down costs: $20.0
million, Economic Support Fund
ITSI funds will support financing and de-risking for private sector investments in commercially viable
secure ICT infrastructure and services in partner countries. These efforts will seek to help level the
playing field for trustworthy vendors and increase competition and diversity in the supply chain,
including by accelerating the commercialization of Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN). (Lead:
State/CDP)
Defend and strengthen networks with sound cybersecurity practices and incident response
capabilities: $10.0 million, Economic Support Fund
ITSI funds will build upon FY 2023 funding to expand technical assistance and operational support for
cybersecurity incident preparation and response. These activities will be executed in coordination with
the U.S. private sector, and they will include efforts to create healthy and thriving ICT ecosystems with
cybersecurity tools and technologies, as well as national incident management capabilities, that defend
against, manage, respond, and recover from persistent cybersecurity threats to ICT infrastructure. (Lead:
State/CDP)
48
Figure 2: Leveraging the ITSI Fund to promote the development and adoption of secure ICT networks
and services
Secure and Trustworthy ICT funding allocation: $40.7 million, Economic Support Fund. This
funding will be complementary to and closely coordinated with other sources of funding in this sector,
including through the Digital Connectivity and Cybersecurity Partnership.
Oversight
The CHIPS Act also includes $500,000 in funding for the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to oversee
expenditures under the ITSI Fund. These funds would be used to execute audits, inspections, and other
projects that focus on oversight of programs related to the CHIPS Act. These funds would also provide
resources for operational and administrative support related to this oversight work. (Lead: OIG)
The CHIPS Act provides up to $4.5 million in Diplomatic Programs funding for salaries and related
expenses for program management staff, including strategic monitoring and evaluation (MEL). The
Department of State will use this funding to sustain salaries and expenses for the 18 new positions
described in the FY 2023 Report to Congress, covering program administration and oversight in EB (6
FTE), CDP (7 FTE) and ISN (5 FTE). At least one position from each office will focus primarily on
MEL to ensure a cohesive, elevated strategic monitoring and evaluation framework across the Fund as a
whole.
The Department’s proposed allocations of FY 2024 ITSI funds are included in the tables below. The
Department notes that it intends to transfer some of this funding to other agencies, utilizing interagency
agreements, for implementation, potentially including to USAID, DFC, EXIM, and USTDA, but
additional planning is needed to determine specific allocations.

Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-128).

In addition to the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted, $156 million was transferred in from Department of Defense
Overseas Humanitarian Disaster, and Civic Aid (OHDACA) funds to continue the Department’s Afghanistan-
related Enduring Welcome (EW) support. Additional funds are anticipated to transfer during FY 2023.
The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO), funded through the Embassy Security,
Construction, and Maintenance (ESCM) appropriation, is responsible for providing U.S. diplomatic and
consular missions overseas with secure, safe, and functional facilities that represent the U.S. Government
to the host nation and support the Department’s staff in their work to achieve U.S. foreign policy
objectives. These facilities represent the best of American planning, design, engineering, construction,
and facility management.
The FY 2024 Request is a net $1.8 billion, which is $232.6 million below the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted
level. The work supported by this request is vital, as more than 91,000 U.S. Government employees from
30 agencies at over 286 posts depend on the infrastructure OBO provides and maintains. The FY 2024
Request includes the Department of State’s share of the Capital Security and Maintenance Cost Sharing
Programs (CSCS-MCS) to construct and maintain, new, secure facilities, consistent with the
recommendation of the Benghazi Accountability Review Board (ARB). In FY 2024, the Budget supports
a $2.4 billion CSCS-MCS program for increased security construction, expanded security measures and
personnel, and to further support the Indo-Pacific Strategy. The Maintenance Cost Sharing Program
($482.1 million) and the Minor Construction and Improvement Program ($110 million) address deferred
maintenance for State’s facilities.
The entire ESCM appropriation is requested to remain available until expended, as having access to a ‘no-
year’ account allows OBO to complete critical overseas projects without interruption and to periodically
realign projects’ cost savings towards emerging priorities. Overseas design and construction timeframes
span several fiscal years, to include ongoing site security and project supervision activities.
53
ENDURING WELCOME (EW)
The FY 2024 Request includes the creation of a new Enduring Welcome (EW) account. The purpose of
this new account is to ensure that we meet our commitment to our Afghan partners who served alongside
us in Afghanistan by providing a consolidated, flexible funding source to meet these complex
responsibilities through the Department-led, whole-of-Government effort known as Enduring Welcome.
The U.S. Government has welcomed approximately 100,000 Afghans to the United States since the
summer of 2021, and the Administration remains committed to the brave Afghans who stood side-by-side
with the United States over the past two decades. Enduring Welcome is the whole-of-Government effort
to expeditiously process the applications of our Afghan allies, such as Afghan Special Immigrant Visa
(SIV) candidates, and family reunification cases, and welcome them to the United States—while
simultaneously safeguarding national security.
During FY 2023, the Department of State assumed leadership of activities previously supported by the
Department of Defense (DoD), including standing up and managing new overseas civilian processing
sites, as necessary, to process the applications of certain individuals from Afghanistan for potential U.S.
immigration benefits. As part of this transition, the DoD transferred Operations Allies Welcome-specific
Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid (OHDACA) funding to the Department of State in FY
2023 to provide sustainment, wraparound services, and medical care for Afghans while their applications
are processed. While not seeking additional appropriated funding, State’s FY 2024 Request seeks
authority to establish a new account in which remaining balances from previous Operation Allies
Welcome (OAW) supplementals and EW transfers would be consolidated. The new account would
enable the Department to integrate EW operational efforts as well as streamline prioritization, tracking,
and management of resources.
The Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs (SCA)’s Office of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation
Efforts (SCA/CARE) is assuming primary responsibility for those sustainment functions previously
performed by DoD. These new duties will be in addition to CARE’s existing tasks of identifying eligible
individuals and preparing them for and facilitating their travel. CARE will also be responsible for general
oversight of key elements and implementers of Enduring Welcome processes, including integrating
support from the applicable Department bureaus such as the Bureaus of Population, Refugees, and
Migration (PRM), Consular Affairs (CA), Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO), and Diplomatic
Security (DS).
The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) leads and manages U.S. Refugee Admissions
Program (USRAP) processing for Afghan refugee applicants and provides humanitarian assistance
support for all Afghan guests at overseas processing facilities, which includes mental health and
psychosocial support (MHPSS), non-food items and supplemental food, education, protection case
management, and community engagement, in multiple locations as well as travel and medical screening
for Afghan SIV candidates. PRM also monitors overseas site management and programming practices to
ensure that they align with international humanitarian standards and protection principles and are
accountable to Afghan guests who are awaiting processing of their applications.

2
FY 2023 Additional Funding includes $5.0 million from the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act,
2022 (Div. M, P.L.117-328).
The State Department’s Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) oversight obligations are broad and
comprehensive, involving oversight of the Department of State and U.S. Agency for Global Media
(USAGM) programs and operations. OIG also oversees the programs and operations of the U.S. Section
of the International Boundary and Water Commission. In total, OIG oversees more than $84 billion in
Department, USAGM, and foreign assistance resources.
OIG fulfills statutory mandates by identifying vulnerabilities and major management challenges, while
providing constructive recommendations that help agencies mitigate risk and improve their programs and
operations.
From October 2013 through September 2021, OIG published more than 947 reports, which included
audits of annual financial statements and procurement activities; inspections of Department and USAGM
operations and facilities; and management assistance reports addressing vulnerabilities requiring agency
leadership’s prompt action. During this same period, OIG identified more than $2.9 billion in questioned
costs and taxpayer funds that could be put to better use. While representing significant savings to the
American taxpayer, these financial results do not fully measure OIG's most significant impact—its efforts
to improve the safety of U.S. personnel and facilities and to strengthen the integrity of the programs,
operations, and resources.
The Request includes a total of $106.8 million for the Department of State OIG, $8.3 million above the
FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted level. The Request will enable OIG to maintain core operations, address
identified Department major management challenges and pressing oversight requirements and adapt to
future work and workforce requirements. It provides funding for OIG’s mandatory contribution to the
Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), basic pay and cost adjustments,
and measures to ensure continued OIG compliance with professional and operating standards, including
implementation of government-wide cybersecurity and digital technology mandates. The Request
includes investments in audit and investigative capacity, vulnerability scanning and penetration testing
programs, increased travel costs, and the establishment of a regional field office in Bangkok, Thailand. It
also provides resources for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility and human capital investments.
55
Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) will continue its statutory mission to
conduct independent and objective audits, evaluations, investigations, and analysis of “programs and
operations funded with amounts appropriated or otherwise made available” for the reconstruction of
Afghanistan. SIGAR remains committed to conducting audits, evaluations, investigations, and other
oversight work, including contracts, cooperative agreements, and grants, as well as activities funded by
U.S. contributions to international organizations and trust funds. SIGAR also remains committed to
detecting and deterring the diversion of U.S. funding to the Taliban, as such SIGAR will continue
working on a major criminal investigative initiative focused on the flight of capital from Afghanistan to
detect the theft of U.S. reconstruction funds.
The FY 2024 Request for SIGAR operations is $26.8 million, a decrease of $8.4 million from the FY
2023 Adjusted Enacted level. The Request reflects a projected reduction in SIGAR’s audit, inspection,
and oversight work in FY 2024 and ongoing staff attrition while recognizing SIGAR’s important
oversight work. SIGAR continues to provide oversight and lessons learned on reconstruction activities in
Afghanistan and works to identify and preserve lessons that can help the United States protect taxpayer
funds, learn from past failures, and determine best practices to benefit future endeavors.

FY 2022 Additional Funding includes a transfer of $9.4 million from the Diplomatic Programs account to
Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs account (ECEP), appropriated by the Additional Ukraine
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law No. 117-128).
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) designs, implements, and oversees educational,
professional, and cultural exchange programs and public engagement activities to increase mutual
understanding, advance U.S. foreign policy and national security goals, and assist in developing peaceful
relations among nations. ECA programs initiate and sustain people-to-people connections with other
countries and create robust networks among current and future global leaders, developing strong partners
who understand democratic values and society. More than one million people have participated in ECA-
funded programs since they began almost 80 years ago, including more than 230,000 U.S. citizens. Also,
more than 4.4 million participants have traveled to the United States on the privately funded BridgeUSA
programs. ECA exchange alumni have impact and reach in all levels of education, health, civil society,
business, and government. Additionally, 676 current or former heads of state and government and 87
Nobel Prize winners are ECA exchange alumni.
U.S. ambassadors depend on ECA exchanges to foster relationships with current and future government,
business, and civil society leaders. U.S. embassies regard exchanges as an essential means to connect the
country team on a day-to-day basis to the local population and those who share specific mission
goals. ECA exchanges and public diplomacy activities align resources to target geographic areas and
societal actors not easily reached through traditional means. ECA demonstrates U.S. foreign policy in
practical terms, as program participants apply what they learn in their communities through personal and
professional networks.
People-to-people exchanges provide significant benefits to the American people and economy. Roughly
90 percent of the Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs appropriation is spent in the United States
or invested in U.S. citizens and organizations. Academic and professional exchanges with foreign
exchange participants bring international networks to American campuses and workplaces, while building
skills and expertise for those U.S. participants who go abroad. ECA programs allow U.S. and foreign
leaders to exchange and increase professional skills that enable and support them to address global
challenges. ECA promotes American values through educational, professional, sports, and cultural
exchange programs that bolster democratic principles. ECA exchange programs encourage activities in
the U.S. interest and expose participants to democratic practices and institutions.
57
The Department’s FY 2024 Request for ECA is $783.7 million, $6.2 million above the FY 2023 Adjusted
Enacted level.
The FY 2024 Request for Academic Programs is $381.8 million, a decrease of $7.8 million from the FY
2023 Adjusted Enacted level. The Fulbright Program, reaching all sectors of society and its related
exchanges, will support more than 7,000 talented and diverse U.S. and international participants to
address shared global challenges, strengthen bilateral relationships, and build inclusive societies. The
Gilman Program, which provides study abroad opportunities for financially disadvantaged populations,
will provide 3,000 American undergraduates the opportunity to master globally competitive
skills. EducationUSA will bolster U.S. higher education to compete against China, Russia, and others to
attract more globally mobile students to American institutions. English language programs will combat
disinformation and increase access for more than ten million learners and teachers. The South Pacific
Scholarship Program will provide opportunities for Master's and Bachelor's degree study at the University
of Hawai'i in fields directly relevant to Pacific Island countries' development needs and enable the
recipients to obtain a broader understanding of the United States. Funding for the Albright Women's
Leadership Institutes will support participants from foreign countries with a focus on understanding and
promoting the core principles of a democratic society. Funding for American Spaces will support virtual
and in-person platforms for tens of millions of visitors to access accurate information reflecting universal
values such as democratic and civic engagement.
The FY 2024 Request for Professional and Cultural Exchanges is $222.5 million, a decrease of $5 million
from the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted. The Request will support the International Visitor Leadership
Program in advancing Administration priorities, including global health, countering disinformation,
climate and energy security, and cybersecurity, and the Arctic Exchange Program to foster more
significant ties between business communities in North America and Greenland. The Request will also
support the Citizen Exchanges Program in presenting positive alternatives to Chinese and Russian
narratives and influence by advancing values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility as well as
democracy, human rights, civic participation, and transparency with a focus on issues related to youth and
young professionals, women, and traditionally underrepresented populations in international exchange
programs. These resources will support ECA to advance U.S. foreign policy by engaging with and
influencing international civil society audiences.
The FY 2024 Request for Special Initiatives is $66.8 million, an increase of $11.3 million from the FY
2023 Adjusted Enacted. Special Initiatives include $16.5 million for the Young Southeast Asian Leaders
Initiative (YSEALI), $6.6 million for the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI), $25.7 million
for the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), $12.0 million for Countering State Disinformation and
Pressure, and $6.0 million for the Community Engagement Exchange (CEE) Program.
The FY 2024 Request for Young Leaders Initiatives is $48.8 million. Programs under YALI, YSEALI,
and YLAI empower and bolster young business, civil society, and government leaders through academic
coursework, leadership training, mentoring, networking, and follow-on support. These initiatives
58
demonstrate American leadership, foster economic connections to U.S. interests, and provide a forum to
share experiences with emerging leaders from Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America while
contributing to regional peace and stability. Moreover, the increases for the Young Leaders Initiatives
support the Administration’s commitments to doubling of the YSEALI, as announced at the ASEAN
summit in May 2022, and reflects the Administration’s enduring commitment to Africa through the YALI
program, which was highlighted during the U.S. Africa Leaders’ Summit.
The FY 2024 Request includes $12.0 million for programs countering state-sponsored disinformation
campaigns. ECA leverages existing program models to enhance cross-border, cross-generational, and
cross-platform human networks, which are the most effective antidotes for addressing foreign
disinformation efforts. Funding is allocated to programs in key countries strategically vetted with the
Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, and the Global
Engagement Center. ECA programs develop critical thinking and media literacy skills and empower
emerging and established leaders and influencers.
The FY 2024 Request includes $6.0 million to sustain CEE, ECA’s core civil society exchange program,
focusing on some of the most vulnerable countries worldwide. CEE expands the generational,
geographic, and thematic reach of ECA’s professional exchanges to support a new generation of
community leaders at the grass-roots level. CEE is designed for a younger cohort, focusing on
individuals new to civil society with approximately two years of work or volunteer experience in 100
targeted countries. The exchange provides a strong counterpoint to continued declines in global
freedom. It ensures that young civil society leaders have the network, skills, and resources to support
democracy worldwide.
The FY 2024 Request for Program and Performance is $13.5 million, $2.3 million below the FY 2023
Adjusted Enacted. Funding will sustain cross-cutting program management activities that increase the
U.S. Government’s return on investment in exchange programs, including evaluations and monitoring,
exchange alumni programming and outreach, the U.S. Speaker Program, the Cultural Heritage Center and
the Cultural Antiquities Task Force.
The FY 2024 Request for Exchanges Support is $99.1 million, an increase of $10 million above the FY
2023 Adjusted Enacted level for the FY 2024 projected American Pay Raise, one new position to support
YSEALI, IT modernization, and various working capital funds and other IT support charges. Funding
will sustain operational support, fiscal oversight, and participant safety and well-being to ensure program
success.

In addition to the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted, $20 million was transferred in from Department of Defense Overseas
Humanitarian Disaster, and Civic Aid (OHDACA) funds to continue the Department’s Afghanistan-related
Enduring Welcome (EW) support.
Consistent with section 4 of the State Department Basic Authorities Act (22 U.S.C. 2671), the
Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Service (EDCS) appropriation is a no-year appropriation
used to meet unforeseen emergency requirements in the conduct of foreign affairs. This includes
evacuations of U.S. Government personnel and their families overseas, and, in certain circumstances,
private U.S. citizens and third country nationals. It also includes other authorized activities that further
the realization of U.S. foreign policy objectives. EDCS has been used for Enduring Welcome (EW) and
related Afghanistan support (in September 2022, the Department began referring to its Operations Allies
Welcome efforts as EW). Additionally, consistent with section 122(a) of the Continuing Appropriations
Act, 2023 (Div. A, P.L. 117-180), the Department recently transferred $20 million from the Department
of Defense Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid (OHDACA) Operation and Maintenance
appropriation to EDCS for EW support.
The EDCS appropriation can also support travel costs for certain engagements by senior Administration
officials, such as the U.S. hosting of international conferences and participation in other diplomatic
events. These include participation in the United Nations (UN) and the Organization of American States
General Assembly, the G-20 Summit, and the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue.
The Rewards category of EDCS covers the Department’s Rewards Program. The program pays rewards
for information related to international terrorism, narcotics-related activities, transnational organized
crime, and war crimes, consistent with section 36 of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956
(22 U.S.C 2708). The program has been instrumental in bringing to justice international terrorists,
notorious narcotics traffickers, and war criminals sought by the UN International Criminal Tribunals for

available until expended.
The Department’s FY 2024 Request of $10.7 million is an increase of $1.8 million above the FY 2023
Adjusted Enacted level, primarily for anticipated increases in EDCS-funded flights and other associated
costs to repatriate wrongful detainees upon their release from detentions. The FY 2024 Request does not
include funding for the Rewards Program, which is drawn, as needed, from transfers of Diplomatic
Programs expired unobligated balances pursuant to the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and
Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2008 (Div. J, P.L. 110-161).

The Buying Power Maintenance Account (BPMA) is authorized under section 24 of the State Department
Basic Authorities Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2696). The BPMA is intended to offset adverse fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates or overseas wage and price changes. Funds may be transferred from this
account to other accounts under the heading “Administration of Foreign Affairs” to maintain the approved
levels of operations under the relevant account. The FY 2023 end of year BPMA balance is projected to
be $500,000.
The FY 2024 Request does not include direct appropriated funding for the BPMA. As in previous years,
the Department will continue to use BPMA balances and related transfer authority to manage exchange
rate fluctuations, as well as overseas inflation adjustments and locally employed staff wage increases.

The Bureau of Diplomatic Security administers two programs for the extraordinary protection of
international organizations, foreign missions and officials, and foreign dignitaries (under certain
circumstances) throughout the United States. These programs are the Extraordinary Protection of
International Organizations, Foreign Missions and Officials in New York, and the Extraordinary
Protection of International Organizations, Foreign Missions and Officials elsewhere in the United
States. This work is done under the authority of the Foreign Missions Act (22 U.S.C. § 4314) and 18
U.S.C. § 3056A(d), as delegated by Exec. Order No. 12478 (1984).
The Protection of Foreign Missions and Officials (PFMO) program is essential to the protection of
foreign missions and their personnel within the United States, as stipulated in the Vienna Conventions on
Diplomatic and Consular Relations. The PFMO program was created to compensate, in part, U.S. law
enforcement agencies at the municipal, state, and federal levels, along with qualified security
professionals, for extraordinary services provided for the protection of foreign missions and
officials. Payments may be made for extraordinary protective services as set forth in the Foreign
Missions Act. Prior to payment, the Department must validate and certify each expense as proper and
accurate. As funding remains available, validated claims are paid promptly.
The FY 2024 Request is $30.9 million and assumes continuation of the authority, first provided in section
7034(j) of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2014
(Div. K, P.L. 113-76), to pay down arrears using expired, unobligated balances transferred from the

In addition to the FY 2022 appropriation of $1.3 million, $500,000 was transferred from EDCS balances to enable
increased loan authority.
When U.S. citizens overseas require financial assistance during personal emergencies to return to the
United States, they may enlist the assistance of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in that country. The
Repatriation Loans Program provides emergency loans for temporary transportation, subsistence, and
other related expenses to assist destitute U.S. citizens abroad who have no other source of funds to return
to the United States. Approval of a repatriation loan is not based on an applicant’s creditworthiness. The
recipient, or another adult U.S. citizen, is required to complete a written loan agreement which includes a
repayment schedule.
The FY 2024 Request for the Repatriation Loans Program Account is $1.8 million, an increase of
$500,000 from the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted to reflect the rising costs of travel. These funds will allow
the Department to subsidize the Repatriation Loans Program consistent with the Credit Reform Act of
1990. The FY 2024 subsidy rate is 54.19 percent, and the requested amount enables a loan level of
approximately $3.3 million. Permissive transfer authority of up to $1 million from the Emergencies in
the Diplomatic and Consular Service (EDCS) account would, if exercised, enable an additional $1.8
million in loan authority.
Administrative costs for Repatriation Loans are funded by the Consular and Border Security Programs
account.

Created in 1979 as a nonprofit corporation pursuant to the Taiwan Relations Act, the American Institute
in Taiwan (AIT) plays a critical role in managing the extraordinarily broad and complex unofficial
relationship between the United States and the authorities on Taiwan. The relationship is crucial for the
maintenance of close security, economic, and people-to-people ties with the people on Taiwan. This
relationship significantly benefits the American economy and people and is an essential element of the
United States’ efforts in Asia. Taiwan is the United States’ eighth-largest goods trading partner. Two-
way trade in goods and services totaled an estimated $113.9 billion in 2021.
The Department’s FY 2024 Request is $35.0 million, an increase of $881,000, for increased expenses
attributable to overseas price inflation and locally employed staff wage increases.

The Contributions to International Organizations (CIO) account is the source of funding for annual U.S.
assessed contributions to 43 international organizations, including the United Nations (UN), organizations
in the UN system such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO), and other international organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO) and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
International organizations offer opportunities to build and lead coalitions that advance shared interests,
enable effective global cooperation, promote equity and equality, and protect rights and fundamental
freedoms. The Administration is committed to promoting U.S. leadership in international organizations
to build the coalitions needed to address our biggest global challenges – climate change, global health,
peace and security, humanitarian response, revitalizing democracy and human rights, digital connectivity
and technology governance, sustainable and inclusive development, and forced displacement and
migration. Strategic U.S. investments in the multilateral system allow us to set the agenda to advance
U.S. priorities, strengthen the effectiveness of international organizations, and share the burden of action
among member states.
International organizations promote and facilitate coordinated efforts to end the COVID-19 pandemic,
advance global public health security, and set international norms and standards in science and
technology, environment, climate, and other relevant fields that foster a dynamic, inclusive, innovative
national economy at home. International organizations also facilitate collective action by the world
community to combat violent extremism, limit the spread of nuclear and chemical weapons, promote
inclusive, sustainable, and climate-friendly economic growth and development, and forge solutions to the
threats of armed conflict, hunger, poverty, and climate change.
International organizations offer significant benefits to U.S. taxpayers. Nearly every federal agency
engages with international organizations to help advance U.S. foreign and domestic objectives. Countless
U.S. businesses and citizens benefit from work done by international organizations to reduce barriers to
trade, improve border and port security, obtain international patent and trademark protection, set
standards for aviation and maritime security, and maintain the world’s telecommunications networks.
The FY 2024 Request is $1,703.9 million, an increase of $265.9 million compared to the FY 2023
Adjusted Enacted level. The Request fully funds U.S. assessments to organizations funded through the
account and includes $150 million support a U.S. return to the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO), as well as $40 million for partial synchronization of deferred payments to the
UN regular budget. The Request also includes $17.0 million for reimbursements of taxes paid by
American citizens working for international organizations funded through the account.
Nearly every federal department and agency interacts with one or more of the organizations funded
through the CIO account to contribute to advancing their strategic objectives. International organizations
69
facilitate multilateral solutions to global challenges in science and technology, health, climate, and other
relevant fields that help foster a dynamic, inclusive, and innovative U.S. economy.
UNESCO
After UNESCO granted membership as a state to the Palestinians, the United States ceased paying its
assessed contributions to the organization consistent with restrictions under P.L. 101-146 and P.L. 103-
236, resulting in approximately $612 million in arrears equal to approximately 8 years of dues. As is the
case at many other international organizations, the UNESCO Constitution provides that a Member State
shall have no vote in the General Conference if the total amount of contributions due from it exceeds the
total amount of contributions payable by it for the current year and the immediately preceding calendar
year.
The Request includes $150 million for a contribution to support a U.S. return to UNESCO, subject to
application of the authority in section 7070 of Division K of P.L. 117-328 to waive the restrictions on
contributions to UNESCO in P.L. 101-146 and P.L. 103-236.
A key aspect of the United States reclaiming multilateral leadership is by paying its bills in full and on
time. For many years, the United States has paid assessed contributions to the UN and 13 other
international organizations later in the calendar year, creating significant financial difficulty for these
organizations. Failure to meet financial obligations undermines U.S. credibility and leadership, and it
jeopardizes the influence the country requires to push back on bad actors. As the United States seeks to
respond to a range of global challenges, U.S. credibility is directly and frequently challenged by both
adversaries and allies due to payment delays. In addition, failure to pay in full and on time limits the
United States’ ability to build consensus around practical solutions to manage the UN’s liquidity crisis.
The President and the Secretary have stated their commitment that the United States will pay its bills in
full and on time.
Over the past few years, the UN has experienced acute financial difficulty with liquidity for the UN
regular budget, which funds important U.S. interests like special political missions and envoys in Syria,
Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, and Burma, as well as key human rights mandates. The Secretary-General (SG)
has been sounding the alarm about the financial situation affecting the UN regular budget in recent years
noting the deepening liquidity crisis, which requires the UN to implement counter-productive funding
restrictions that undermine timely delivery of mandates that support U.S. policy objectives.
The Request includes an incremental portion to address the most acute needs for the UN regular budget.
While it would take approximately $700 million to fully synchronize payments to the UN regular budget,
this Submission is seeking $40 million, which would ease the UN’s liquidity crisis, strengthen our
leadership by enhancing our credibility, and help U.S. payments align to the UN’s budget timeline.
The Request includes $8.9 million to support a priority U.S. strategic objective of increasing NATO
common funding starting in 2023 as agreed to by the North Atlantic Council in December 2022.
Increased funding for the NATO civil budget will enable the organization to maintain its technological
and operational edge in the evolving strategic and security environment that includes threats and
70
challenges such as a more aggressive and assertive Russia and China, the need for strengthened
cybersecurity, and threats posed by emerging and destructive technologies. At the June 2021 and June
2022 NATO Summits, Allied leaders agreed that they would increase resourcing, including through
common funding, in order to support a higher level of ambition for NATO and address the complex
modern security environment through annual civil budget increases through 2030.
Assessing Performance
The United States has long championed UN efficiency and effectiveness and will continue to advocate
throughout the UN system for transparency and accountability. To advance U.S. national interests in the
multilateral system, we provide financial, analytical, and management oversight and expertise to advocate
for the effective, efficient, and responsible use of U.S. contributions to international organizations. The
Bureau’s monitoring, evaluation and learning also helps advance implementation of the Foundations for
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act.

The Contributions for International Peacekeeping Activities (CIPA) account funds U.S. contributions to
United Nations (UN) peacekeeping activities directed to the maintenance or restoration of international
peace and security, which promote the peaceful resolution of conflict.
The FY 2024 Request of $1.94 billion reflects the Administration’s goal of fully funding on-going U.S.
peacekeeping assessments and paying down recently accumulated arrears. The Request would fully fund
the estimated U.S. share of UN peacekeeping budgets for the UN’s July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025,
peacekeeping financial year. The FY 2024 Request also includes additional funding to pay arrears for
UN peacekeeping missions: $300 million to eliminate a portion of the arrears accrued for fiscal years
2017 through 2020 due to the 25 percent statutory cap and $43.8 million to pay arrears accrued during the
2022-2023 peacekeeping year, also due to the 25 percent statutory cap. The $344 million will be used as
a partial payment towards a total of over $1.1 billion in arrears accrued from fiscal years 2017 to present.
While the amounts that the Department contributes for UN peacekeeping missions are determined
consistent with U.S. law, amounts assessed to the United States are determined through UN General
Assembly resolutions that establish peacekeeping budget levels and member state assessments on an
annual basis. The United States is currently assessed at 26.9 percent of the UN peacekeeping budget in
calendar years 2022-2024, down from 27.9 percent in 2021. Negotiations on peacekeeping budget levels
for the July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 peacekeeping financial year are anticipated to be completed in
June 2023, at which time the Fifth Committee on administrative and budgetary affairs and the General
Assembly will approve actual budget and assessment levels. The General Assembly will also adopt the
2025-2027 peacekeeping scale of assessment in December 2024.

Security Council members to close or transition these operations, such as in recent cases of missions in

The Department and the U.S. Mission to the United Nations continue to advocate for increased
accountability for performance in UN peacekeeping. Largely as a result of U.S. efforts, the UN is
implementing the Integrated Peacekeeping Performance and Accountability Framework (IPPAF) –
launched in 2020 – which identifies clear performance standards for all peacekeeping personnel, better
systematizes performance evaluation and accountability, and outlines actions that peacekeeping missions
and the Secretariat should take to rectify serious, systemic underperformance and to recognize
outstanding performance.
• UNDOF (Golan Heights) is expected to complete its return to the area of separation and resume the
inspection of the area of limitation on the Bravo (Syrian) side; however, the ongoing Syrian civil
conflict, presence of armed elements in the area of separation, and COVID-19 have delayed these
efforts. The mission will continue to monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Syria according to the
1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement in a volatile environment.
• UNIFIL (Lebanon) will continue to contribute to peace and security in southern Lebanon and along
the border with Israel while operating in an increasingly challenging environment. The mission’s
most effective functions, including its liaison mechanism and patrols along the Blue Line, will
provide value even as freedom of movement and access restrictions prevent full implementation of
UNIFIL’s mandate.
• UNFICYP (Cyprus) will continue to support a bizonal, bicommunal, federal solution to the Cyprus
problem by monitoring the ceasefire between the parties to ensure stability and lay a foundation for
the resumption of UN-facilitated, Cypriot-led settlement talks. The mission will need to continue its
efforts to monitor and address increased activities by the two communities in the buffer zone,
including the establishment of prefabricated firing positions along the southern ceasefire line and
inside the buffer zone.
• UNMIK (Kosovo) will continue to promote security, stability, and respect for human rights in
Kosovo and the region.
• MONUSCO (Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)) will focus on protection of civilians;
supporting national disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration efforts; security sector reform;
and other priority tasks specified in UN Security Council Resolution 2666 (December 2022), which
renewed MONUSCO for a one-year period. The mission will also provide limited electoral support
to the DRC government, while at the same time evaluating opportunities to continue its transition in
line with the joint UN/GDRC phased, conditions-based drawdown plan established in 2021. The
Force Intervention Brigade will continue using its offensive mandate against armed groups, including
ISIS-DRC (also known as Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), the Cooperative for the Development of
the Congo (CODECO) and the resurgent M23, which continues to gain ground in North Kivu
province with support from the Rwanda Defence Forces.
• MINUSCA (Central African Republic (CAR)) will focus on its priority tasks to protect civilians
from the threat of physical violence, support the peace process, facilitate the delivery of humanitarian
assistance, promote respect for human rights, support the extension of state authority, facilitate
political dialogue, bolster security sector reform, provide technical support for disarmament,
demobilization, reinsertion and reintegration (DDRR) programs, support efforts to bring to justice
76
those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in CAR, and support enforcement of
the arms embargo.
• UNISFA (Abyei, Sudan/South Sudan) will continue to maintain security in the disputed Abyei area
between Sudan and South Sudan. The security dynamics in Abyei have shifted since early 2022 due
to the emerging tensions between the Twic Dinka and Ngok Dinka, an influx of displaced persons
fleeing from violence in South Sudan and other neighboring countries, and the ongoing violence
between the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya over migration-related issues. Abyei’s security situation
remains unpredictable due to the evolving dynamics and increased conflicts in the region. Lack of
progress by Sudan and South Sudan on resolving the final status of Abyei and establishing interim
institutions will necessitate UNISFA’s presence at least through FY 2024, although we will continue
to seek efficiency gains in the mission.
• UNMISS (South Sudan) will continue to play a critical role in protecting civilians, creating
conditions conducive to the delivery of humanitarian assistance, supporting the peace process, and
monitoring and investigating human rights. The escalating subnational violence, deteriorating
humanitarian crisis, shrinking of political and civic space, continued lack of sustained commitment
from South Sudanese parties to fully implement their political and security agreements essential for a
successful transition and credible elections will necessitate UNMISS’s presence through at least FY
2025.
• MINURSO (Western Sahara) will continue to deter the escalation of hostilities in Western Sahara
and support the parties in achieving a lasting settlement. The UN also appointed Staffan de Mistura
(Italy, Sweden) as the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Western Sahara in November
2022, which has revitalized the UN-led political process, after over a two-year vacancy following the
resignation of former German president Horst Koehler.
• MINUSMA (Mali) will continue to play a key role in supporting the implementation of the Algiers
Peace Agreement, the political transition, the restoration of state authority, and the protection of
civilians in the center and north of the country. Key tasks will focus on facilitating implementation of
security and political benchmarks, ceasefire monitoring, stabilization, and protection of civilians.
The Department is also requesting funding for the following UN war crimes tribunal through the CIPA
account:
• UN International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals will continue to do critical war
crimes accountability work in follow-up to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former
Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
For FY 2024, the Department requests that funds be appropriated in the CIPA account as two-year funds
due to the demonstrated unpredictability of the requirements in this account from year to year and the
nature of multi-year operations that have mandates overlapping U.S. fiscal years. Funding for Mission
Monitoring and Effectiveness, which has previously been transferred from CIPA to Diplomatic Programs,
have been included in the FY 2024 request for Diplomatic Programs.

The International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) is a binational commission established to
implement boundary and water treaties and international agreements between the United States and
Mexico. The IBWC works to resolve binational issues that arise during the application of those treaties
and agreements regarding boundary demarcation, national ownership of waters, sanitation, water quality,
and flood control in the border region. The IBWC consists of a United States Section (USIBWC) and a
Mexico Section (MXIBWC), each of which is independently funded and administered by its respective
country. The USIBWC is headquartered in El Paso, Texas and receives foreign policy guidance from the
U.S. Department of State. The USIBWC also has a diplomatic liaison located in the Bureau of Western
Hemisphere Affairs’ Office of Mexican Affairs, and twelve field offices strategically located along the
United States-Mexico border for operations and maintenance of both domestic and international works
authorized under treaty.
The IBWC operates and maintains nearly 100 hydrologic gaging stations, over 20,000 acres of
floodplains, 500 miles of levees, 440 miles of river and interior floodway channels, four diversion dams,
two international storage dams and associated hydroelectric power plants, roughly 700 hydraulic
structures, two international wastewater treatment plants, and one-half of all boundary monuments and
markers on the land boundary and at international ports of entry.
The FY 2024 Request for Salaries and Expenses (S&E) is $64.8 million, an increase of $6.9 million
above the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted level. The funding will support the hire of four new positions,
sludge disposal and contract costs. Funding will also provide for USIBWC’s administrative expenses and
supports engineering activities. The S&E appropriation also provides for operations and maintenance of
the agency’s wastewater treatment and flood control infrastructure, which is intended to protect the lives
and property from river floods and transboundary wastewater flows in bordering communities. The
appropriation further preserves the demarcation of the U.S. and Mexico border.
The FY 2024 Request for IBWC Construction is $40.0 million, a decrease of $13.0 million from the FY
2023 Adjusted Enacted level. Funding will support the assessment, design, and construction of capital
improvements at the international wastewater treatment plants, dams, river flood control levee systems,
and field office facilities. The appropriation will also provide for the replacement of heavy mobile
equipment and address deferred maintenance and repairs of capital assets. Planned uses of funds include
facilitating the conveyance and control of waters of the Rio Grande and Tijuana Rivers for conservation
and flood protection and Nogales Sewage Treatment Plant improvements.
Additional authority is also being requested for USIBWC to receive funds, including through grants or
other funding agreements, from Federal or non-Federal entities to carry out the functions of the United
80
States Section and to study, design, construct, operate, and maintain treatment and flood control works
and related structures.
A well-marked and maintained boundary also enables federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies
to accomplish their duties more effectively. Maintaining this boundary ensures the sovereignty of each
nation and limits the potential for serious and costly boundary disputes. The IBC maintains more than
5,500 land boundary monuments and more than 2,800 reference monuments and will continue to provide
for the ongoing mapping and maintenance of a Geographical Information System.

IFC 62,846 65,719 53,804 -11,915
The FY 2024 Request provides $53.8 million for the International Fisheries Commissions (IFC) to fund
the United States’ anticipated treaty-mandated assessments and other expenses for 19 international
commissions and organizations. This includes the U.S. share of operating expenses for 10 international
fisheries commissions, the International Whaling Commission, two international marine science
organizations, the Arctic Council, the Antarctic Treaty, and international shark and sea turtle conservation
initiatives. Funds are required to maintain U.S. leadership and good standing – and, in many
cases, voting privileges. These levels also include travel expenses of the U.S. Commissioners, and
compensation payments to non-government employees for the days worked as U.S. Commissioners to the
Pacific Salmon Commission. The FY 2024 Request is a reduction of $11.9 million for the Great Lakes
Fishery Commission (GLFC), from the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted funding level, which included funds
for sea lamprey control activities outside of GLFC in other lakes within the broader, interconnected Great
Lakes ecosystem. The GLFC’s binational control program has successfully reduced sea lamprey
populations in most areas of the Great Lakes by 90 percent; without it, the lakes’ $7 billion fishery would
not exist.
In most cases, U.S. contributions are required by treaties and agreements and are critical to maintaining
U.S. leadership and protecting the interests of diverse U.S. stakeholders. Each commission facilitates
international cooperation by coordinating scientific studies of marine resources and their habitats and
establishing common management measures to be implemented by member governments. Many also
oversee the allocation of fishing rights to their members. Full payment of assessments is required to
maintain voting privileges and influence in the commissions and organizations to advance the economic
and conservation interests of the United States and important constituent groups.
Through the ongoing efforts of the commissions and programs funded by this appropriation, many fishing
areas that were nearly depleted are now yielding sustainable catches for U.S. commercial and sport
fishermen, and some key endangered populations are recovering. The commercial and recreational
fisheries managed by the commissions generate income of $12 to $15 billion annually and support
thousands of U.S. jobs.

The FY 2024 Request includes $11.1 million for the International Joint Commission (IJC), an increase of
$206,000 over the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted amount. The increase will fund salary and benefit
increases, additional funding for the International Watersheds Initiative (IWI) project and support the
activities of the U.S. Section staff in Washington, DC, and a binational Great Lakes Regional Office in
Windsor, Canada. The funding will also support ongoing technical studies and oversight of the
operations of structures for which the IJC has responsibility.
The 1909 Boundary Waters Treaty established the IJC, which acts as a cornerstone of U.S.-Canadian
relations along the border. The United States and Canada have been successful over the years utilizing
the IJC as a model of cooperation in conducting studies and making recommendations on the use of
boundary waters that are unbiased, scientifically based, inclusive and open to public input. The IJC
reviews uses, obstructions, or diversions of boundary waters in one country that affect water levels and
flows into the other, advises each government and conducts studies on critical issues of mutual concern,
and assesses progress in restoration of water quality in the Great Lakes. Numerous boards and task
forces, plus various related technical working groups and committees, assist the Commission with expert
advice on science and policy issues.
The FY 2024 Request includes $2.4 million for the International Boundary Commission (IBC) an
increase of $95,000 over the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted. This funding will support salary increases and
benefits and the maintenance of an accurately delineated and marked boundary between the United States
and Canada, consistent with the mandate of the 1925 Treaty of Washington.
The FY 2024 Request does not propose continued State Department funding for the North American
Development Bank (NADB). The program activities previously funded by the Border Environment
Cooperation Commission (BECC) appropriation can be supported by the NADB without relying on a
specific State Department appropriation, nor has NADB requested this funding from the Department.

The Asia Foundation (TAF) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that advances U.S. government
interests in the Indo-Pacific region. Working through its network of 18 permanent offices throughout
Asia, including in countries of particular importance to the United States, such as Indonesia, Thailand,
China, the Philippines, Vietnam, India, and Pacific Island nations, TAF is well-recognized for solving
local and regional problems in cooperation with host governments, local NGOs, and private sector
partners. TAF’s programs focus on governance, economic reform and development, women’s
empowerment, environment and climate action, and international and regional relationships utilizing local
credibility and nuanced understanding of the issues facing each country. TAF mobilizes as opportunities
arise for immediate impact, makes strategic grants, and implements longer term programs in support of
U.S. foreign policy objectives.
TAF is often able to engage in situations and locations in which the U.S. government is not able to work
directly. TAF partners with U.S. embassies, especially in countries where staff movement is constrained
by the local security context. Building on its longstanding history in the region, TAF is seen as a neutral
actor supporting conflict resolution, mediation, and monitoring of peace processes. TAF programs also
advance religious and ethnic tolerance in the region, including in Indonesia and the Philippines, and help
promote human rights across the region.
The FY 2024 Request provides $23 million to sustain operating costs, bolster programs in the Indo-
Pacific, and continue the response to post-COVID challenges. TAF’s Pacific office in Fiji will continue
activities in-country and in the Pacific Island region to build on programs to support women’s
empowerment, climate resilience, economic growth, digital technology, and governance initiatives.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a bipartisan, non-governmental organization with the
single mission of advancing democracy in the world through arms-length, day-to-day diplomacy. NED is
dedicated to fostering the growth of a wide range of democratic institutions abroad, including political
parties, as well as trade unions, free markets, and business organizations. NED seeks to strengthen civil
society by supporting human rights, independent media, and the application of the rule of law and has a
structure that encompasses the vital political, labor, and economic dimensions of democracy. The
National Endowment for Democracy Act (P.L. 98-164), passed in 1983, authorizes NED to receive U.S.
government funding as a private non-profit organization.
NED is known for utilizing a distinctive demand-driven grant making approach which distinguishes it
within the donor community. With the oversight of NED’s independent, bipartisan Board of Directors,
NED awards grants to support more than 2,000 projects in more than 100 countries a year. NED’s grants
program is bolstered by the International Forum for Democratic Studies, a democracy research center that
publishes the Journal of Democracy and administers the Reagan-Fascell Fellows Program; the World
Movement for Democracy, a global hub for democracy networking and solidarity; and the Center for
International Media Assistance, which studies and makes recommendations on strengthening media
assistance abroad.
The FY 2024 Request of $300 million will enable NED to sustain a strong grants program in priority
countries and regions, including continued support for NED’s four core institutes—the National
Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute, the Solidarity Center, and the Center for
International Private Enterprise—along with grassroots civil society organizations in over 100 countries

Avenue and Van Ness Street. According to the Act, “The Secretary of State is authorized to sell or lease
to foreign governments…property owned by the United States, in order to facilitate the conduct of foreign
relations by the Department of State…through the creation of a more propitious atmosphere for the
establishment of foreign government and international organization offices and other facilities.
Most activity at the ICC is typically funded by fees collected from other executive agencies in accordance
with section 4 of the International Center Act and from proceeds from past leases to 19 foreign
governments. These proceeds have been deposited into a trust fund that is drawn upon, as authorized by
Congress, for development, maintenance, repairs, and security at the site. In addition, the Act authorizes
the use of proceeds for surveys and planning related to the development of locations within the District of
Columbia for use as foreign chancery and diplomatic purposes.
The FY 2024 Request is $744,000, an increase of $1,000 above the FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted level to

This appropriation provides mandatory funding to the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Fund
(FSRDF) and serves as one of several sources of income for the FSRDF, including portions from the
Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The FSRDF
is comprised of two separate retirement systems, the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability System
(FSRDS) and the Foreign Service Pension System (FSPS). This fund was established to provide pension
payments to all eligible retired and disabled members, former spouses, and survivors of the Foreign
Service enrolled in either of the two systems. It is maintained through multiple sources of income that
include contributions by employees, agency contributions, special government contributions, interest on
investments, and voluntary contributions. The FY 2024 Request is $158.9 million, consistent with prior
year levels to fulfill continued installments of the agency contributions.
A separate payment into the FSRDF, supplemental to this appropriation, is authorized under the Foreign
Service Act of 1980, including section 821 (which authorizes additional funding necessary to fulfill
payments for future benefits that consist of the following: new or liberalized benefits, new groups of
beneficiaries, and/or increased salaries); section 822 (which authorizes a supplemental payment to finance
unfunded liability attributable to military service payments and interest accruals); and section 857 (which
authorizes an employer contribution into the FSPS based on an amortization of an annual valuation). The
amount of this separate payment is equal to the balance of annual costs to the Fund in excess of current
employee and employer contributions.

Improvements (BCI). USAGM uses IBO funds to operate its international media organizations, along
with related program delivery and support activities. The $9.7 million in BCI funding will maintain the
worldwide transmission network of USAGM, including technology improvements, the security
requirements of facilities, maintenance, and repairs.
USAGM is an independent federal agency responsible for all United States non-military international
media. USAGM networks include two federal entities: Voice of America and the Office of Cuba
Broadcasting. USAGM’s networks also include four agency-sponsored non-federal entities: Radio Free
Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, and the Open
Technology Fund.
USAGM’s greatest strengths lie in the dedication and expertise of its diverse journalists and technical
experts, as well as its global reach, delivering fact-based, professional journalism to a weekly audience of
410 million people in 63 different languages, an increase of 19 percent over the past four years. USAGM
journalism gives voice to issues affecting under-represented and under-served communities worldwide,
including refugees and displaced people, women, youth, and marginalized populations of all kinds.
In addition, USAGM’s newest non-federal entity, the Open Technology Fund, offers unfettered, secure
access to USAGM content and develops circumvention tools and technology to bolster internet freedom
and counter attempts by authoritarian governments to control the internet and restrict freedom online.
This funding level supports investments that are critical to modernizing USAGM operations and
remaining competitive in markets that are awash in misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda
emanating from foreign authoritarian governments. Resources will support markets impacted by ongoing
conflict and repression and will also allow USAGM to enhance content in markets increasingly targeted
by Chinese and Russian influence by extending and deepening coverage in key regions, including Sub-

FOREIGN ASSISTANCE OVERVIEW
The Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) are advancing the
Biden Administration’s vision of a free, open, secure, and prosperous world, while delivering on issues
that matter most to the lives and livelihoods of Americans. Foreign assistance is a critical means to
accomplishing our foreign policy, international development, and national security objectives and
upholding U.S. values. In FY 2024, foreign assistance will continue to ensure that Russia’s aggression
remains a strategic failure and supports the people of Ukraine. We will also support the implementation of
the Administration’s “invest, align, compete” strategy with the People’s Republic of China (PRC), to
protect our interests and build a prosperous future. The Department and USAID will further expand our
resources where the PRC is gaining traction, especially in the Indo-Pacific to support a free, open, and
secure region.
Foreign assistance investments are also critical to delivering solutions to the shared global challenges of
food, health, and climate security. Working with partners, we will seek to strengthen food security and
promote stability; protect the gains we have made in global health while continuing to strengthen health
security; and promote energy security and environmental stewardship so more of our partners have the
energy they need to build their economies and promote growth. The FY 2024 request continues our work
to ensure U.S. interests are protected in the digital and emerging technology sector and demonstrates U.S.
values by strengthening our humanitarian leadership; supporting our Afghan partners; bolstering
democracy; and countering corruption around the world. In all our work, the Department and USAID will
promote inclusive, sustainable growth that advances opportunities for individuals from marginalized
groups. We will work in partnership to shape a common vision of the future by supporting infrastructure
and economic, environmental, and technical systems that promote U.S. competitiveness and uphold
democratic norms and values.
Across foreign assistance accounts, we will pursue the Administration’s priorities through the following
efforts:
Ensuring Russia’s Aggression Remains a Strategic Failure: We will continue our critical support to
Ukraine and the Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia region in the face of Russian aggression. This includes
addressing the impacts of Russia’s war in Ukraine and the region, making critical investments to secure
Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, and helping Ukraine and important partners such as Moldova stabilize
their economies and prepare for a broader recovery. Funds will also enhance anti-corruption efforts and
build resilience to Russia’s malign influence through support to democratic institutions; to combat
disinformation; reduce reliance on Russian energy sources by facilitating regional energy security and
diversification; and invigorate economies to counter disruptive effects of Russia’s invasion and build
economic resilience.
Deepening Alliances and Partnerships in the Indo-Pacific: Foreign assistance advances our Indo-
Pacific Strategy (IPS) through: 1) programming in the areas of rule of law, independent media, civil
society and countering disinformation to advance a free and open Indo-Pacific; 2) expanding regional
frameworks to build connections within and beyond the region; 3) economic programs to drive regional
prosperity; 4) security assistance – particularly in the maritime domain – to bolster regional security; and
5) programming related to health security, sustainability, and energy to build resilience to transnational
threats. In advancing the IPS, the request promotes U.S. leadership, exemplified in U.S. partnerships with
governments, civil society, and people, which challenges PRC influence, aggression, and economic
coercion in the region. Funding will be integral to supporting new approaches to improving infrastructure
project pipelines, cybersecurity capacity building, and scaling up U.S. investments in the Pacific Islands.
99
The Department and USAID will align foreign assistance with private sector investments, working with
the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and other agencies.
Mandatory Funding to Out Compete China: Through new, multifaceted mandatory funding we will
out-compete China, strengthen the U.S. role in the Indo-Pacific, and grow the U.S. economy. China is the
U.S.’s only competitor with the intent and the means to reshape the international order and is the most
consequential geopolitical challenge of our era – one that will test American diplomacy like few issues in
recent memory. This mandatory proposal will allow the U.S. to focus on new and critical investments to
counter predatory PRC financing by offering countries a positive alternative, which will simultaneously
expand markets and opportunities for U.S. businesses. Funding will support transformative, high-quality,
and sustainable infrastructure investments; make game-changing investments in the Indo-Pacific to
strengthen partner economies and support their efforts in pushing back against predatory efforts by China;
and reaffirm commitment to the Compacts of Free Association (COFA).
Investing in Global Infrastructure: Discretionary foreign assistance will also play a key role in the
Administration’s Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII). In support of PGII, the
Department and USAID will aim to mobilize more $4.8 billion in direct foreign assistance funds and
collaborate with the private sector to leverage an estimated $5.4 billion for projects that focus on climate
and energy security, health and health security, digital connectivity, gender equity and equality, and
related transportation infrastructure. This includes a PGII Fund that will respond to time-sensitive needs
to advance strategic infrastructure projects in low- and middle-income countries.
Strengthening Food Security: Investing in global food security aligns with American values and
supports U.S. security and national interests. Food insecurity can be a contributing factor to societal
unrest, government instability, and conflict. The Russian invasion of Ukraine demonstrates the need to
improve and diversify global food supply chains. The request includes additional funding for the Feed the
Future (FTF) Initiative, which expanded from 12 to 20 target countries in 2022. FTF helps promote a
more resilient agricultural sector by supporting advanced agricultural practices and integrating nutrition
sensitive approaches. The request also supports the new Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils, which, as
part of FTF and in partnership with the African Union, will increase productivity through a systemic
focus on building soil health and increasing the resilience of key indigenous food crops.
Bolstering American Leadership in Global Health: The FY 2024 request reaffirms historic U.S.
leadership in global health and health security. These investments protect Americans at home and abroad,
save lives, strengthen capacities to solve regional and global problems, and strengthen U.S. partnerships
and leadership on these critical foreign policy priorities. The Department and USAID will invest in
combating global infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS; preventing child and maternal deaths;
bolstering the health care workforce to support the President’s Global Health Worker Initiative; and
advancing global pandemic preparedness and response, including enhancing health systems and capacity-
building and strengthening global health security architecture.
Responding to the Global Climate Crisis: The United States and the world face an existential climate
crisis that can only be addressed through global action in this decisive decade to limit global warming to
1.5 degrees Celsius, beyond this point impacts will become increasingly severe. Climate change
undermines food and water security; negatively affects health and well-being; contributes to disasters,
conflict, and displacement; causes serious economic disruptions; threatens vital ecosystems; and
exacerbates global inequities. This funding will support the President's pledge to work with Congress to
provide over $11 billion in climate finance annually and enable the United States to spur ambitious
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, support the implementation of those reductions, and help
countries around the world to fulfill their responsibilities in the global effort.
100
Strengthening Energy Security and Critical Mineral Supply Chains: The United States, as a global
energy leader, will assist partner nations as they chart their path to energy security. This includes an
initiative to reduce PRC dominance over critical mineral and clean energy supply chains and rapidly
diversify energy supplies to address the global energy crisis spurred by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
These efforts also bolster U.S. energy security by reducing fuel supply instability, building resilience to
price shocks, and reducing otherwise wasted energy supplies. Programs will focus on advancing
cooperation on sound mineral sector governance, commercialization for upstream and midstream critical
mineral projects, diversification of global critical mineral and clean energy supply chains, and accelerated
deployment of advanced energy technologies.
Build Strong, Transparent, and Fair Economic Systems: Partners governments across the globe face
what may become a perfect storm of economic challenges: slowing growth, mounting debt, declining
investment, persistent inflation, and widening inequality. To address this and leverage the ingenuity and
resources of the private sector, the Department and USAID will capitalize on new economic opportunities
in countries seeing democratic progress. Funding will be used to support innovative approaches like the
Enterprise for Development, Growth, and Empowerment (EDGE) Fund designed to unlock and unleash
outsized private sector impacts on global development challenges. In support of other priorities like our
economic and migration interests in the hemisphere and new and growing opportunities in the Indo-
Pacific, the request allows for expanded trade partnerships and build economic systems that are more
durable against PRC manipulation and better able to succeed on a global level.
Upholding Our Commitment to Our Afghan Partners: We continue to meet our commitment to our
Afghan partners through Enduring Welcome (EW), the whole-of-Government effort to expeditiously
process the applications of our Afghan allies, such as Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) candidates,
and family reunification cases, and welcome them to the United States—while simultaneously
safeguarding national security. Ongoing support to Enduring Welcome in FY 2024 continues the message
to our Afghan colleagues and partners, the American people, the international community, and to current
and prospective partners everywhere that ensuring the safety of those who served and sacrificed alongside
is an unwavering U.S. priority.
Maintaining U.S. Humanitarian Leadership: The United States plays an indispensable global
leadership role as the world’s largest single country donor of humanitarian assistance. The immediate
U.S. response to the devastating earthquake in Türkiye and Syria in February 2023 was a stark example of
how the U.S. mobilizes to help people in need. Immediately after the earthquake, USAID stood up a
Disaster Assistance Response Team, deployed two urban search and rescue teams to Türkiye, and
101
provided emergency funding for food security, water, sanitation, and hygiene, and relief commodities.
The United States provided $185 million, which included tapping $50 million from the President’s
emergency refugee and migration assistance Fund. By leading efforts to deliver life-saving assistance, the
U.S. demonstrates its solidarity with partner nations, and supports vulnerable populations’ return to
healthy, safe, and productive lives within their own countries.
Strengthening Democracy and Countering Corruption Globally: Foreign assistance efforts to bolster
democracy helps reinforce a stable, transparent, and prosperous world order. Contrasted with
authoritarian regimes that are inherently unstable due to power secured through fear and corruption,
democratic regimes promote the well-being of their citizens and well-functioning governance, making
them more effective global partners. Foreign assistance will both further enhance the resilience of
countries demonstrating positive democratic trends and bolster anti-corruption programming across the
Department and USAID in support of the U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption, as well as the USAID
Anti-Corruption Policy. Funding also supports continued investment in the Presidential Initiative for
Democratic Renewal and other Summit for Democracy deliverables.
Advancing Gender Equity and Equality and Investing in Inclusive Development: We will continue
to prioritize the empowerment of women and girls world-wide and across sectors through the largest-ever
foreign assistance investment for gender equality, $3 billion overall. Funds will advance economic
security for women and girls by increasing their access to resources, services, and leadership
opportunities as well as addressing the barriers that limit their ability to participate fully in the economy.
Foreign Assistance funds will also support inclusive development through funding programs that advance
racial equity and support underserved communities to reduce structural disparities and affirm
opportunities for members of marginalized racial and ethnic groups to be included and heard in the
communities in which they live and work.
Addressing Security Challenges with Our Partners: U.S. security assistance builds the capacity of
partner nations to provide for their own security and advances critical peacekeeping, non-proliferation,
demining, and counterterrorism efforts that also protect Americans at home and abroad. U.S. security
assistance further addresses current and emerging threats to U.S. national security by strengthening the
capacity of allies and partners to counter aggression, confront strategic competitors, disrupt transnational
crime, improve citizen security, reduce the flow of illicit narcotics, such as fentanyl, and address root
causes of irregular migration to the United States. The FY 2024 request for security assistance reflects the
need to maintain our commitments around the world and address emerging opportunities, such as Taiwan,
while continuing to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. Finally, funding in support of implementation
of the Global Fragility Act helps prevent future violent conflict, avoiding the need for costly interventions
to contain it.
Bolstering Hemispheric Economic Investment and Migration Efforts: With the COVID-19 pandemic
transitioning from a public health emergency to an economic calamity, it is more critical than ever to
address the root causes of migration to stem the flow of irregular migrants making the dangerous trek to
the United States to escape conditions at home. As the Ninth Summit of the Americas displayed,
governments in the region have largely coalesced around the United States’ leadership and policies on,
economic growth, and migration management in the region. Democratic backsliding, systemic corruption,
and inequitable growth challenge progress and shared goals. Regional efforts will collectively support
political and economic stability and demonstrate that the United States is intent on strengthening the
Western Hemisphere as a coalition of resilient democracies in an era of increased PRC presence in the
region.
Strengthening Forest Conservation and Land Management: In recent years, forest and ecosystem
loss has increased at unprecedented rates; between 2015 and 2020, the global rate of deforestation was
102
estimated at 10 million hectares per year. The request will promote effective, long-term management of
protected and conserved areas and their contiguous buffer zones in critical forest basins, including the
Amazon, Congo, and Southeast Asia. Funding under the Forest Conservation Initiative will support
actions to restore degraded or deforested landscapes; improve the resilience of landscapes; incentivize
forest conservation and sustainable forest and land management; promote production practices consistent
with environmental and social goals; and catalyze private sector finance, investment, and action. It would
do so in part through building the long-term capacity and leadership of Indigenous Peoples, local
communities, youth, women, and other marginalized groups. The initiative will take advantage of new
opportunities in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, and the DRC; reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
support sustainable supply chains; enhance the resilience of ecosystems and economies; and help prevent
spillover of novel zoonotic pathogens in order to reduce risk of future zoonotic pandemics.
Since the beginning of the Biden Administration, American leadership has rallied a global response to the
collective challenges of destabilizing Russian aggression; increased PRC threats to a secure and
prosperous world order; and crises in food, health, energy, migration, democratic backsliding, and
economic security. In FY 2024, the Department and USAID will continue to leverage our foreign
assistance, alongside the contributions of our allies and partners, to address these priorities and deliver on
America’s promise to lead efforts to build a more stable and prosperous world.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
conducts and supervises audits, evaluations, inspections, and investigations of foreign assistance
programs and operations. OIG also makes recommendations for promoting economy, efficiency, and
effectiveness within these programs and works to prevent, detect, and investigate fraud, waste, and abuse
compromising those activities. OIG also is statutorily mandated to provide similar oversight for the
Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), the United States African Development Foundation (USADF)
and the Inter-American Foundation (IAF), and, through 2024 supplemental funding, for oversight of
USAID’s Ukraine response. OIG receives additional funding through the MCC appropriation to support
MCC oversight activities.
The FY 2024 base request of $85.5 million will enable OIG to continue to deliver effective oversight and
safeguard and strengthen U.S. foreign assistance programs which provide sustainable development
assistance, effectively respond to humanitarian crises, and address critical national security aims.
This request will enable OIG to continue to provide timely, relevant, and impactful information to the
agencies we oversee, Congress, the American taxpayers, and other critical stakeholders. OIG plans to
further strengthen our strategic work focus and prioritization by concentrating oversight on our
independently identified top management challenges and high-risk areas for the agencies we oversee. In
addition, OIG will address pressing oversight requirements in Ukraine, continue to build and staff an
internal inspections and evaluation capability, and utilize data to streamline procurement, workforce
planning, and resource management.
To increase its capacity to deliver the highest quality oversight, OIG will continue to reengineer processes
to promote internal efficiency, develop its workforce, and enhance the sharing of critical information with
key stakeholders. OIG will advance internal reforms to ensure its business processes and policies align
with best practices and continue to invest in supervisory and managerial training, as well as diversity,
equity, inclusion, and accessibility within our workforce.
OIG’s work will continue to prompt cost savings, obtain recoveries through criminal, civil, and
administrative enforcement remedies, and identify funds to be put to better use at levels that exceed its
annual budget.
The FY 2024 request also provides sufficient funding for OIG to support the Council of the Inspectors
General on Integrity and Efficiency.

FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted is the same as the Enacted level for the GHP Accounts.
The Global Health Programs (GHP) account funds health-related foreign assistance managed by the
Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Investments in global
health advance U.S. foreign policy interests by protecting Americans at home and abroad, promoting
social and economic progress, and supporting the rise of capable partners better able to solve regional and
global problems. The FY 2024 GHP request of $10,928.0 million supports programs to reduce inequities
in global life expectancy and burden of disease, including by preventing child and maternal deaths;
controlling the HIV/AIDS pandemic, tuberculosis, and malaria; combatting infectious disease threats; and
strengthening the health workforce that underpins this work in support of the Biden Administration's
Global Health Worker Initiative. This request will allow the United States to continue its global
leadership role, built upon decades of investment and success. Global Health programs have worked
across the spectrum of public health, and have produced extraordinary improvements in survival, health,
and dignity; enduring national health systems and capabilities; and lasting international collaborations.
An evidence-based approach guides all programs to ensure effectiveness and accountability to U.S.
taxpayers and consistency with the Administration’s objectives and policies. In the last three years, the
world has endured a coronavirus pandemic that produced the first global reduction in life expectancy
since World War II and new health threats due to conflict, climate-related catastrophes, and a surge of
additional outbreaks ranging from mpox and polio to Ebola and cholera. Critical health services have
been set back years, including routine immunization, tuberculosis prevention and treatment, and access to
family planning information and commodities. GHP funds in the request will support the recovery of
essential services and programs, strengthen the global health workforce, and significantly scale up
programs to bolster global health security to ensure the world is better prepared to prevent, detect, and
respond to the next pandemic.
Controlling the HIV/AIDS Epidemic ($6,700.0 million, of which $6,370.0 million is in GHP-State
and $330.0 million is in GHP-USAID):
This request will allow the United States to continue its global leadership role in a sector with
demonstrated success, built upon decades of investment. The vision is for sustained HIV impact by
supporting health equity for priority populations, sustaining the response, public health systems and
security, transformative partnerships, and following the science. Ongoing assessment of the U.S.
President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief’s (PEPFAR’s) progress highlights the paramount
importance of addressing inequalities that are posing barriers to success. This requires taking an
intentional approach to closing remaining gaps in HIV prevention and treatment services through efforts
to target and adjust PEPFAR activities in order to reach 95-95-95 and epidemic control, particularly for
key populations and adolescent girls and young women that are disproportionately impacted by new
infections and/or not reaching the 95-95-95 global targets The Administration strongly supports
107
reauthorization of the PEPFAR program by Congress during FY 2023 and will work with Congressional
and other key partners to ensure that PEPFAR has the tools it needs to empower countries to reach the 95-
95-95 goals and implement PEPFAR’s five-year strategy. This is a gateway to lasting health security in
the countries PEPFAR supports, as demonstrated by the strong foundation structures and services
countries were able to quickly leverage in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Integrated HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care, and Treatment Programs ($4,169.9 million, of which
$3,952.6 million is in GHP-State and $217.3 million is in GHP-USAID):): With FY 2024 funds,
PEPFAR will continue to work in close collaboration and in partnership with country governments;
civil society and other community-based institutions (including faith based institutions); multilateral
institutions, including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), the
United Nations Joint Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Health Organization (WHO) and
the regional bodies of the African Union, AUDA-NEPAD and Africa CDC; the private sector; and
other stakeholders to combat the AIDS pandemic. The United States works to control the HIV/AIDS
pandemic by targeting HIV prevention and treatment investments through data-driven decision
making that focuses resources on sub-populations and geographic areas where PEPFAR can achieve
the greatest impact toward 95-95-95. When combined with funds appropriated for PEPFAR in
previous fiscal years, these resources will support PEPFAR core programs, advancing the U.S.
government’s strategy to achieve 95-95-95 and sustain HIV impact in countries with high HIV/AIDS
burdens. PEPFAR will continue to advance this key U.S. objective through a combination of high-
impact HIV interventions, including antiretroviral treatment (ART); critical prevention interventions,
including prevention of mother-to-child transmission; prevention of new HIV infections among
adolescent girls and young women through the DREAMS partnerships; provision of condoms and
voluntary medical male circumcision to prevent infections among young men; preexposure
prophylaxis (PrEP) and support for orphans and vulnerable children. It will also invest in the public
health systems leveraged for the COVID-19 pandemic to strengthen the platforms that deliver our
HIV/AIDS services. PEPFAR will continue to provide holistic services for families and marginalized
and hard-to-reach populations, such as children, adolescent girls, and other vulnerable populations,
including key populations. Funding will help strengthen HIV services amidst COVID-19 and ensure
continuity of critical health systems required for the HIV/AIDS response, including human resources
for health, commodity procurement, supply chains, and laboratory systems. PEPFAR supports the
advancement of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Global Health Worker Initiative as part of
strengthening the public health system, and will continue to prioritize support for healthcare workers,
who have been critical to the progress made towards HIV epidemic control to date and will be critical
to sustaining that progress in the years to come.
108
• Technical Oversight and Management ($331.1 million, of which $312.4 million in GHP-State
and $18.7 million in GHP-USAID): The FY 2024 funds requested will support costs incurred by
multiple U.S. government agencies, including Department of State, USAID, the Department of Health
and Human Services, the Peace Corps, the Department of Defense, the U.S. Census Bureau, and the
U.S. Department of Treasury in support of PEPFAR implementation.
• Centrally Supported Systems ($55.0 million in GHP-State): PEPFAR has invested in core systems
needed to support program management and oversight since its inception. The activities supported
within the PEPFAR Centrally Supported Systems and Cross-Cutting Support funding request focus
on collection, use, and exchange of data to facilitate real-time analysis of program performance by
overlaying financial, partner performance, geographic, and epidemiological data to allow targeting of
finite resources to the specific populations and locations that need them. The FY 2024 funding allows
full software lifecycle support of systems development, testing, hosting, security, engineering, end
user support, and training activities. This includes advanced development and operation of the Data
for Accountability Transparency and Impact (DATIM) system that collects site-level program data
necessary to target PEPFAR resources to the facilities and communities where services are needed.
Together with country and global partners, the United States continues to lead the global effort to
significantly reduce child and maternal deaths, with the goal of all countries having fewer than 20 child
deaths per 1,000 live births and fewer than 50 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births by 2035. Reaching
these rates would save the lives of an additional five million children each year and decrease the number
of women who die from complications during pregnancy annually by 75 percent. Preventing child and
maternal deaths relies on sustained investment and appropriate linkages across diverse health programs
focused on maternal and child health, family planning/reproductive health, nutrition, and malaria.
Programs are focused on countries with the highest need, demonstrable commitment to achieving
sustainable and efficient program outcomes, and the greatest potential to leverage U.S. government
programs and platforms.
• Maternal and Child Health (MCH) ($910.0 million): The budget request for FY 2024 will support
country and global partners to increase the use of cost-effective and proven life-saving interventions
and to strengthen delivery systems to accelerate the reduction of maternal, newborn, and child
mortality targeted to those most in need. Priority child health interventions will address essential
newborn care, encourage early and exclusive breastfeeding, and include a focus on postnatal visits;
target the prevention and treatment of diarrheal disease, including increased use of effective sanitation
and hygiene practices at household and community levels; expand prevention and treatment of
pneumonia, in both communities and health facilities; strengthen routine immunization; and support
polio eradication. Resources will support efforts to combat maternal mortality with expanded
coverage of preventive and life-saving interventions, such as prevention and management of
postpartum hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, and sepsis, as well as
contributory causes of maternal death such as anemia. Simultaneously resources will support efforts
to build health system capability and resilience while improving emergency referral systems and
comprehensive obstetric care. Programs will leverage U.S. government and other investments in
nutrition, malaria, family planning and reproductive health, and infectious diseases. The request
includes $300 million for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which expands the impact of USAID’s bilateral
programs, reaching unvaccinated children with cost-effective vaccines to accelerate progress towards
goals in preventing child deaths.
109
• Family Planning and Reproductive Health (FP/RH) ($600.0 million): In FY 2024, USAID
voluntary family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) activities will continue to advance global
technical leadership and bilateral programming. The request would strengthen USAID-supported
programs, which will focus on the distinct tools and approaches needed for fragile settings and areas.
Funds will support timely and cost-effective commodity procurement and shipment; strengthen
supply chain performance; foster enabling policy environments, including advocacy for predictable
and adequate funding; improve service delivery practices, including integrating with MCH and
HIV/AIDS services, and addressing gender-based violence; advance biomedical research and
implementation science to make programs as effective as possible ; address demand-side barriers and
reach underserved populations, including youth and men; improve knowledge management, data
collection, routine monitoring and oversight, and evaluation; and contribute to cross-cutting activities
that benefit both FP/RH and the entire health system. Activities will be implemented in collaboration
with a broad range of partners, including multilaterals, public and private sector organizations, and
community-based organizations.
• Nutrition ($160.0 million): Focusing on evidence-based approaches to nutrition during the first
1,000 days—from the start of a woman’s pregnancy to a child’s second birthday—greatly contributes
to the reduction of child mortality and supports long-term health, cognitive development, physical
growth, and school and work performance later in life. Activities will focus on integrated services;
maternal nutrition during pregnancy; exclusive breastfeeding and other infant and young child
feeding practices; diet quality and diversification; and delivery of nutrition services.
• Malaria ($780.0 million): FY 2024 requested resources will continue to advance the President’s
Malaria Initiative (PMI) strategy, which brings to scale a combination of proven malaria prevention
and treatment approaches and integrates, where possible, these interventions with other priority health
interventions. Through investments in the PMI, the United States will continue malaria prevention,
control, and elimination activities and strengthen delivery platforms in up to 27 African countries,
address multidrug-resistant malaria in three programs in Southeast Asia, and support malaria control
and elimination efforts in Latin America. In close coordination with the Global Fund and other key
partners, the PMI will strengthen the capacity of host country national malaria control programs to
expand the use of highly effective malaria prevention and treatment measures and will rapidly expand
country capacity to collect, analyze and use data to optimize program impact. In conjunction with
multilateral donors, PMI funding will also support the development of new malaria vaccine
candidates, antimalarial drugs, new insecticide-based tools, and other malaria-related research.
• Vulnerable Children ($30.0 million): FY 2024 resources requested will support provide assistance
for the care and protection of vulnerable children, particularly those who are outside of family care or
who are at risk of losing family care and protection. Activities will promote healthy child
development, support reforms to national systems for children’s care, and strengthen child-protection
policies and practices to prevent and respond to violence against children. Funding will also support
USAID’s Child Blindness Program to reduce childhood blindness and improve eye health. Activities
include screening, vision correction through surgery, distribution of eyeglasses or other appropriate
treatments, training of community workers to perform screenings and refractions, and the training of
doctors and nurses in related pediatric surgical care.
Combating Infectious Disease Threats ($1,748.0 million, of which $1,248.0 million is in GHP-
USAID and $500.0 million is in GHP-State):
110
regional and international health security. The request will support public health diagnostic, surveillance,
workforce, and response systems, which are critical to reducing mortality and morbidity and ensuring
health security by minimizing the impact of both endemic and epidemic-prone infectious diseases. U.S.
government efforts will focus on combating tuberculosis (TB) and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), as
well as implementing the United States Global Health Security Strategy to prevent, detect, and respond to
infectious disease threats.
• Tuberculosis ($358.5 million): With FY 2024 requested resources, USAID will continue to lead the
U.S. government’s efforts to combat tuberculosis (TB) globally, and programs will directly support
implementation of the USAID TB Strategy 2023-2030 and the new UN General Assembly (UNGA)
High Level Meeting (HLM) on TB targets. Tuberculosis is one of the leading infectious disease
killers worldwide, infecting 10.6 million people and claiming the lives of almost two million each
year; it is also one of the top ten killers of people globally from all causes. In partnership with private
and public donors, including significant contributions from and collaborations with recipient
countries, USAID will support interventions that reach, cure, and prevent TB and multidrug resistant
TB (MDR-TB). U.S. assistance will strengthen the commitment and capacity of countries to support
access to, and delivery of, high-quality patient-centered care; prevention of TB transmission; and
acceleration of research and innovation. U.S. bilateral assistance leverages both country resources in
high-burden countries, as well as the Global Fund’s TB resources, in support of evidence-based
approaches to achieve national TB strategic plans and HLM TB targets. USAID supports a
competitive market for quality-assured and affordable TB and MDR-TB drugs, as well as diagnostics
and other commodities, including through the innovative Global Drug Facility.
• Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) ($114.5 million): With FY 2024 requested funding, USAID
will support preventive drug treatments for seven of the most prevalent NTDs – lymphatic filariasis,
trachoma, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, and three soil-transmitted helminths. U.S.-supported
programs use an integrated mass drug administration delivery strategy that targets affected
communities and can be delivered by trained non-health personnel. USAID will work closely with
global partners to support community and school-based mass drug administration for all eligible
people at risk; ensure access to quality pharmaceuticals; standardize monitoring and evaluation
guidelines for NTD programs; and develop approaches for evaluating the impact of NTD programs in
multi-disease settings. Assistance will prioritize sustained and expanded scale-up of NTD treatments
in 26 countries to accelerate progress toward the WHO elimination goals. Assistance will
complement country programs with strategic investments in research to address barriers to achieving
elimination.
• Health Reserve Fund (HRF) ($10.0 million): The HRF will support cross-cutting global health
activities in challenging environments or countries emerging from crisis. It will provide flexible, no-
year funding to ensure basic health services are accessible to those most in need and to build more
resilient health services and systems. Activities will focus on six key areas: support for health service
delivery, the global health workforce, health information systems, access to essential medicines,
health systems financing, and governance. These resources will strengthen key institutions and
infrastructure to prevent the loss of development gains during a crisis.
• Global Health Worker Initiative (GHWI) ($20.0 million): Countries with health systems anchored
in a strong primary health workforce are proven to deliver better results, expand service coverage, and
lower maternal and child mortality. The FY 2024 request includes $20 million to support the Global
Health Workers Initiative to establish at USAID a dedicated effort to reduce the estimated 10 million
global health worker shortage that is hindering frontline capacity to deliver primary health care,
respond to emerging threats, and reduce inequities in health and survival.
111
• Global Health Security (GHS) ($1,245.0 million, of which $745.0 million is in GHP-USAID and
$500.0 million is in GHP-State): The FY 2024 request includes global health security (GHS)
funding that will continue to strengthen capacities to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease
threats, outbreaks, and pandemics. USAID’s GHS program is a key component of the U.S.
Government’s multi-sectoral approach to build better preparedness for current and future health
threats and aligns with Administration priorities through the National Biodefense Strategy (NBS),
Global Health Security Strategy (GHSS), and the implementation of the Global Health Security
Agenda (GHSA).
The COVID-19 pandemic and other outbreaks of viruses in humans, including Ebola, mpox, and
Marburg, demonstrate that all countries must be better equipped to rapidly detect and effectively
respond to disease threats and to stop them from becoming epidemics or pandemics. At the same
time, countries need to take measures—including surveillance, infection prevention and control,
vaccination, and biosafety measures—to prevent and prepare for these events.
To build this foundational capacity, USAID has expanded its GHS programs in additional countries:
from 30 in FY 2020 to 35 in FY 2021 to 50 in FY 2022. Activities supported through these programs
recognize the importance of the link between animal health, human health, and the environment, and
work in partnership with other nations, international organizations, and public and private
stakeholders to strengthen country systems to address spillover of diseases from animals to humans at
the national, regional, and community levels; strengthen laboratory and surveillance capabilities to
detect infectious disease threats; improve risk communication in communities; help prevent, detect,
and reduce the spread of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens; and strengthen the knowledge base around
the drivers of spillover. USAID coordinates closely with other departments and agencies
implementing GHS programs and draws upon the Agency’s multi-sectoral capabilities in addressing
infectious disease threats including experience gained in responding to outbreaks of Ebola virus
disease, severe acute respiratory syndrome, avian influenza, plague, Marburg, and Lassa Fever.
In addition to $435.0 million in GHP-USAID funding to support bilateral programming, this request
includes $220.0 million in GHP-USAID for contributions to support multilateral initiatives that aim
to enhance global health security, including to support the development, delivery and equitable access
of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics, such as through the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness
Innovations (CEPI) and other multilateral partners. It also includes $90.0 million in GHP-USAID
funds to replenish the Emergency Reserve Fund to ensure that USAID can quickly and effectively
respond to emerging infectious disease outbreaks posing severe threats to human health.
The Budget request also includes $500 million for the Pandemic Fund, which will strengthen global
health security and pandemic preparedness and help make the world safer from infectious disease
threats. One year after President Biden made the first public pledge at the First Global COVID-19
Summit, the Pandemic Fund was formally launched with leader-level support, and to date has
mobilized $1.6 billion in initial commitments from over two dozen donors, including sovereign
nations and philanthropies. Continued U.S. leadership is critical to help mobilize long-term
sustainable resources from others and will help maximize the fund’s major goals: 1) Building
capacity and demonstrating capability; 2) Fostering cooperation amongst countries globally and
regional across sectors and within countries; 3) Incentivizing additional investments in pandemic
prevention, preparedness, and response; and 4) Ensuring administrative and operational efficiency of
resources.
Increased United States investments in the Pandemic Fund will accelerate the ability of the United
States to leverage allies and partners and extend the reach of U.S. global health security and pandemic
preparedness efforts beyond existing bilateral programs and other multilateral contributions. The G20
112
and numerous global experts estimate that over $10 billion annually is needed to fill critical gaps in
health security, and the Pandemic Fund is a historic new mechanism that will work to fill those gaps.

and electricity access across sub-Saharan Africa. Power Africa will also strengthen U.S. clean energy
exports and investment to sub-Saharan Africa.
Additionally, the request includes funding to advance the Prosper Africa initiative, which leverages the
full range of U.S. government resources to advance equitable access to trade and investment; promote
transparency and improve the business enabling environment to foster competitiveness and open markets
and reduce opportunities for corruption; and harness the power of small businesses, with a special focus
on those led by women and members of the African Diaspora.
Funding will also support efforts to foster the growth of open, inclusive, and secure digital ecosystems in
Africa. Digital programming, including the President’s new Digital Transformation with Africa (DTA)
initiative, will expand affordable and inclusive digital connectivity, improve the livelihoods and economic
well-being of Africans, promote inclusion and resilience, align with internationally-accepted best
practices in transparency and governance, and empower citizens to exercise their rights while mitigating
the risks posed by digital technology.
Furthermore, the request includes support for water, agriculture, and food security to increase household
food availability, access to basic water and sanitation services, and income through increased agriculture
and livestock productivity to reduce food and water insecurity, while promoting stability and the
sustainable use of natural resources. Development Assistance will increase environmental conservation
114
and improved land use practices. Funding will support biodiversity conservation and the sustainable
management of target terrestrial and marine areas, and combat conservation crimes, including wildlife
trafficking and illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.
Development Assistance will also support initiatives that have emerged from the Summits for Democracy
and the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, including African Democratic and Political Transitions (ADAPT)
and efforts to support free and independent media, fight corruption, bolster democratic reformers, advance
technology for democracy, and defend free and fair elections and political processes.
East Asia and Pacific ($632.4 million, including $64.8 million for USAID Asia Regional): The DA
funding requested will support alliances, partnerships, and multilateral institutions to advance a free and
open Indo-Pacific, consistent with the Indo-Pacific Strategy. U.S. assistance programs will continue to
assert forward-looking global leadership and engage the People’s Republic of China (PRC) from a
position of confidence and strength, build strong civil society actors, foster democratic institutions and
human rights, promote energy security, support gender equity and equality, and improve natural resource
management.
Regional programming for Southeast Asia will address transnational challenges, including natural
resource issues, biodiversity, and regional energy connectivity. In the Pacific Islands, the Request
supports expanding programs and presence, in alignment with the Pacific Partnership Strategy. Funding
will serve to reduce vulnerability to rising sea levels and changing weather patterns and address energy
access and diversification challenges. The request seeks to advance democratic governance and the rule of
law, bolster civil society groups, promote basic and higher education, and support human rights. By
investing in resilience, gender equity and equality, governance, and institutions across the region, the DA
request builds stability in a region of vital interest to U.S. national security, as well as to global economic
growth.
Near East ($22.7 million): Consistent with the Middle East and North Africa Joint Regional Strategy, the
DA request for the USAID Middle East Regional (MER) office will address major regional issues such as
economic crises and food insecurity; countering malign actors; and deficits in democracy, human rights,
and transparent governance. Requested funds will bridge gaps in bilateral programs through investments
in technical efforts, innovation, and applied research and assessments across sectors and countries. DA
funds will also advance the Prosper Africa initiative to support trade and investment in North Africa, and
activities to address barriers to quality education and student learning in the Near East, particularly for
vulnerable groups.
South and Central Asia ($396.8 million): DA funding for South Asia is aligned with the Indo-Pacific
Strategy and will promote sustainable development to resist harmful economic practices and
unsustainable debt. Funding will promote energy supply diversification and emergency preparedness.
Funds will also advance investments in the digital economy. Assistance region wide will combat
increasing authoritarianism, bolster human rights, and strengthen civil society participation and
democratic governance. Resources will continue to support basic and higher education activities, as well
as advance gender equity and equality. In Nepal, a democratic bright spot, funds will support economic
growth, bolster civil society, and strengthen independent media, invest in basic education, and support
investments in agriculture and food security.
Western Hemisphere ($970.7 million): The DA request will advance the Administration’s goals of
reinvigorating U.S. leadership abroad by strengthening our partnerships and standing behind our closest
allies in the Americas. The request will expand economic prosperity and development opportunities,
while helping our neighbors invest in good governance and democratic institutions. Programs will
115
respond to irregular hemispheric migration in the region by addressing the root causes of migration from
Central America, providing legal pathways, and promoting the socio-economic integration of migrants.
In support of the Root Causes Strategy, the request includes funding across all accounts consistent with
the President’s commitment to provide $4 billion in foreign assistance to Central America over four years.
As a comprehensive strategy to address the root causes of irregular migration, the request includes
support for anti-corruption, good governance, economic opportunity, security, and expanding
reintegration assistance for migrants, as well as programs that strengthen capacity to adapt to extreme
weather events and facilitate regional trade and investment. This comprehensive strategy also
supports building disaster resilience, advancing the transition to clean energy, assisting at-risk populations
with employment and education, and expanding job creation and growth opportunities in El Salvador,
Guatemala, and Honduras, while empowering local organizations in these countries to address the drivers
of irregular migration to the United States. Programs will support women’s economic empowerment in
northern Central America and the Western Hemisphere more broadly.
In Colombia, requested funding will continue support for peace implementation, access to justice
services, citizen participation, and human rights. The Request will advance a three-pronged effort in Peru
to combat illicit drugs by providing alternative development programs. Programs will also strengthen
governance with a focus on anti-corruption and improving environmental and natural resource
management of the Amazon.
The request supports programming to strengthen disaster resilience and promote renewable energy in the
Caribbean. In Haiti, funds will support activities to restore the country’s democratic institutions, counter
insecurity, support community-based migrant reintegration, strengthen civil society, and continue
programs that promote resilience and protect Haiti’s natural resources.
Countering PRC Influence Fund (CPIF) ($127.5 million requested within DA, of which $27.5
million requested centrally): The CPIF will strengthen the Administration’s efforts to support our
partners ability to maintain their own autonomy, security, and prosperity, especially for countries that
stand on the frontlines of the PRC coercion, in line with principles articulated in the National Security
Strategy. CPIF will support the Administration’s goals to increase the capacity and resilience of U.S.
partners and allies worldwide to deter aggression, coercion, and influence by the PRC and associated
actors. Funds will, amongst other uses, counter corruption, confront untrusted digital infrastructure,
identify and address forced labor in supply chains, and curtail illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.
Funding will create programs that will meet the economic and development needs of partner countries
and distinguish the United States and our partners from our competitors.
USAID Pillar Bureaus (1,539.8 million): The request will support the development of resilient,
democratic societies; enable inclusive, sustainable growth; promote free, peaceful, and self-reliant
communities with effective, legitimate governments; build human capital; and create social safety nets
that reach the poorest and most vulnerable. In addition to funding programs in various countries, this
request will support programming and technical services that contribute to peace and stability through
programs, funding, and technical services focusing on social, communal, and political aspects of crises
and political transition via funding for the Bureau for Conflict Prevention and Stabilization.
Funding for the reorganized Bureau for Development, Democracy, and Innovation (DDI) will support key
priorities including: education, especially emphasizing response to the impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic; digital development in support of USAID’s Digital Strategy; economic growth with attention
to opening new markets and private sector engagement; the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund
(GEEA) in line with the U.S. Government Gender Strategy; inclusive development that ensures the rights,
safety, and well-being of marginalized and underrepresented groups such as LGBTQI+ persons and
116
women; partnerships to advance the Administration’s localization, diversity and inclusion goals; and
innovation and research to enhance response to global development challenges.
The request includes funding for programs within the new Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and
Governance (DRG). The DRG Bureau will advance objectives related to democracy, human rights, and
governance, with particular attention to bolstering democratic resilience, including through work under
the Presidential Initiative for Democratic Renewal (PIDR), and preventing, countering, and mitigating
corruption and kleptocracy, a core U.S. national security interest under the U.S. Strategy on Countering
Corruption. The request supports cutting-edge technical expertise and analysis to strengthen democratic
institutions; counter corruption; address critical human rights issues; protect and support independent fact-
based media; fight restrictions on civic space; strengthen civil society; and promote fair, peaceful, and
competitive electoral processes. The DRG Bureau will also play a lead role on key Agency priorities,
including addressing resurgent authoritarianism, mis/dis/malinformation, and corruption.
Funding for the new Bureau for Resilience, Environment, and Food Security (REFS) will advance
resilience; infrastructure, energy, and energy security; environment and biodiversity; food security;
nutrition; and water security, sanitation, and hygiene— all with the goals of increasing partner countries
sustainability, self-reliance, and enhancing U.S. national security and economic prosperity. Funding will
support the U.S. Government’s global hunger and food-security initiative, Feed the Future (FTF), guided
by the whole-of-Government Global Food-Security Strategy (GFSS). Funding will also support REFS to
implement the Agency’s Biodiversity Policy and key portions of legislative mandates, such as the Save
our Seas and the Eliminate, Neutralize and Disrupt Wildlife Trafficking Acts.
Funding will also support USAID's policy and strategy implementation, monitoring, and evaluation
efforts through funding for its new Bureau for Policy, Learning, and Resource Management (PLR).
Funding for USAID Program Management Initiatives (PMI) will support USAID Missions with partner
vetting, visa compliance, and development communications. The request also supports two new USAID
offices, USAID Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (A/DEIA) to support implementation
of the goals and objectives of the Agency’s DEIA Strategic Plan and Equity Action Plan, and USAID
Office of the Chief Economist (OCE), which seeks to restore trust in government through scientific
integrity and evidence-based policymaking.

the Ukraine 4, Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023 (Div. M, P.L. 117-328) to respond to humanitarian
needs in Ukraine and in countries impacted by the situation in Ukraine.
The FY 2024 International Disaster Assistance (IDA) request will provide lifesaving humanitarian
assistance in response to natural disasters and complex emergencies, including acute food insecurity,
around the world. With IDA funds, the United States saves lives, alleviates human suffering, reduces the
physical, social, and economic impacts of rapid and slow onset disasters, and supports at-risk populations
to build resilience. This request, complemented by resources requested through the Food for Peace Title II
and Migration and Refugee Assistance (MRA) accounts, will maintain U.S. leadership in humanitarian
response worldwide.
The $4,699.4 million in requested IDA resources will be managed by the U.S. Agency for International
Development’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA). As complex and protracted conflicts and
severe natural disasters increase in frequency and severity, the effects of the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
linger on, and global food insecurity of the most vulnerable worsens, humanitarian need worldwide
continues to rise to unprecedented levels. As the lead Federal Coordinator for international disaster
assistance, BHA maintains a strong and effective global system prepared for rapid activation and response
to emergency needs worldwide. By leveraging all available authorities and resources, BHA both responds
to crises with agility and speed and builds resilience to future crises by addressing underlying
vulnerabilities of communities in need.
Humanitarian interventions work across multiple sectors to support populations’ needs determined by
expert analyses of local contexts. Programming includes, but is not limited to, emergency food assistance,
nutrition, shelter, protection, disaster risk reduction, water/sanitation/hygiene, health, logistics,
coordination, and livelihoods support. The IDA account also supports investments that promote early
recovery, build resilience, and reduce risk in communities vulnerable to recurrent humanitarian crises.
With IDA and Food for Peace Title II resources and along with State's Bureau of Populations, Refugees,
and Migration (PRM), BHA will support innovative programming and coordinated humanitarian
responses to crises, including those in Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa, Syria, Ukraine, Haiti, Venezuela,
and Yemen. The bureau responds to roughly 75 crises in more than 65 countries each year; in the first half
of FY 2023 alone, BHA responded to floods in West Africa and Pakistan, earthquakes in Türkiye and
Syria, wildfires in Chile, and a dzud in Mongolia. IDA resources are also used to provide emergency food
assistance for refugees. The contingency nature of the IDA account allows for the flexibility to respond to
118
protracted crises and new emergencies as they arise and support the full range of humanitarian assistance
activities necessary to meet the needs of impacted communities. BHA’s programs are integrated and
multi-sectoral in nature, drawing on all available authorities and funding to design programs to meet the
needs of people affected by conflict, changing weather patterns, the food security crisis, and unanticipated
natural disasters. Utilizing IDA resources to leverage the full spectrum of market-based food assistance
modalities—local, regional, and international procurement; food vouchers; and cash transfers for food—
while providing complementary programming to meet an array of humanitarian needs is a necessity when
working in rapidly shifting humanitarian contexts. The Administration is committed to supporting
integrated, multisectoral humanitarian assistance that is efficient and effective so that all whom BHA
serves are treated with dignity and respect. The FY 2024 Budget Request coupled with the reauthorization
of the Food for Peace Act, will allow the United States to lead the international humanitarian system with
innovative, flexible, multisectoral programming in FY 2024 and beyond.

The FY 2024 request of $102.0 million for the Transition Initiatives (TI) account will address
opportunities and challenges in countries in crisis and assist in their transition toward sustainable
development, peace, good governance, and democracy. TI funding will support catalytic programs
managed by USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives (USAID/OTI) that target political crises, prevent
and mitigate conflict, and address stabilization needs in countries critical to U.S. foreign policy. TI funds
will support fast and flexible short-term assistance to help government and civilian partners advance
peace and democracy. TI funding targets priority countries where USAID/OTI engages quickly and
robustly, often where other funds are less readily available.

and contribute to U.S. foreign policy or national security goals. Managed by USAID’s Bureau for
Conflict Prevention and Stabilization (USAID/CPS), CCF programs target countries or regions that
demonstrate a high or escalating risk of conflict, violence, or instability and where a U.S. government
response will help mitigate that risk or advance peace and democracy. CCF support is critical in situations
where neglecting to act could jeopardize foreign policy and national security interests in the near-term or

The FY 2024 Economic Support Fund (ESF) request of $5,391.5 million represents a significant
investment in several signature Administration priorities and commitments, such as bolstering the Indo-
Pacific Strategy; addressing Western Hemisphere migration; reinforcing commitments in Africa and
partnerships in the Middle East; and supporting efforts to lead and address shared global challenges such
as food insecurity and energy security. These funds will help countries of strategic importance meet near-
and long-term political, economic, development, and security needs.
Africa ($57.6 million): The request will advance partnerships in Africa by strengthening democratic
institutions, advancing peace and security, countering violent extremism, promoting trade and commercial
ties, and creating an enabling environment for investment to support economic development. In addition
to bilateral efforts, this request will support regional programs within State Africa Regional for activities
such as the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP), the Partnership for Regional East Africa
Counterterrorism (PREACT), the Africa Regional Democracy Fund, and the Ambassador’s Special Self-
Help program along with economic growth programs. These programs will advance Women, Peace and
Security activities, women’s economic empowerment, and counter malign influence from the
Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Assistance will reinforce the United States’
continued partnership with the African Union. The request will also support the African Democratic and
Political Transitions (ADAPT) initiative, a new program announced at the U.S.-Africa Leaders' Summit,
that will provide rapid, flexible support and assistance to governments and civil society during vulnerable
yet critical political transitions, supporting the goal of durable and inclusive civilian rule.
East Asia and Pacific ($227.8 million): The request will support the Administration’s commitment to an
Indo-Pacific that is free and open, connected, prosperous, secure, and resilient, as outlined in the Indo-
Pacific Strategy (IPS). Assistance sustains the United States’ forward-looking approach as a global leader
and responsibly manage competition with the PRC. The request provides robust funding to support IPS
goals, advance the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF), and promote regional and multilateral
institutions. Activities will champion efforts to foster democratic resilience and human rights, support
infrastructure investment, build resilience against cyber threats and disinformation, build emergency
preparedness capabilities, and help populations adapt to changing weather patterns and protect natural
resources.
122
Europe and Eurasia ($5.0 million): Assistance to the region will support efforts to counter foreign
malign influence, as well as foster economic resilience in Greenland through industry and
entrepreneurship opportunities. Assistance in Greenland will also support exchanges of best practices,
including technical assistance in key industries, and strengthening institutions and communities.
Near East ($2,042.0 million): The Request supports the Administration’s efforts to advance a stable and
prosperous Middle East and North Africa and to strengthen U.S. allies and partners in the region, promote
inclusive economic growth, strengthen democratic principles, and accelerate cross-sectoral solutions to
mitigate the impact of water security. Assistance to regional partners counters Iran’s destabilizing
behavior and prioritizes strategic competition with the PRC and Russia. The Request seeks funding to
establish a new Middle East and North Africa Opportunity Fund, intended to enable the United States to
respond to unforeseen openings and support emerging opportunities. These could include democratic
progress in Tunisia, advances toward peace in Yemen or Libya, or further regional integration achieved
through the Negev Forum. It also sustains assistance to the Palestinian people, furthering the
Administration’s goal to promote a negotiated two-state solution, and continues support for Arab-Israeli
regional ties and mutual understanding and the Middle East Partnership for Peace program to advance
peacebuilding and reconciliation efforts in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza. The Request also
leverages assistance to bolster emerging peace efforts in Yemen while building on humanitarian
assistance to mitigate suffering and lay the foundation for recovery efforts. It will also enable the United
States to mitigate the effects of violent extremism and other ongoing conflicts and threats, such as in Syria
or Libya, and will support the voluntary repatriation and reintegration of displaced persons in Al Hol and
Roj while disrupting ISIS networks in the camps and improving conditions for the remaining population.
It will also deliver vital assistance to the people of Lebanon as they grapple with overlapping economic
and political crises. Through this request, the Administration will invest in sustainable multilateral
approaches that focus on solving shared problems while also investing in education, strengthening civil
society, anti-corruption, good governance, and efforts to prevent democratic backsliding.
South and Central Asia ($230.8 million): In South Asia, the request will fund activities in support of a
free and open Indo-Pacific, including in economic growth and development, and for regional efforts to
respond to natural disasters, as outlined in the IPS. Assistance for South Asia will strengthen transparent
governance and promote civil society and independent media. Activities will help ensure gender equity
and women’s economic advancement, foster innovation and economic competitiveness, and promote
private sector growth and the expansion of trade. Assistance will help foster innovation and strengthen
economic competitiveness in the Indo-Pacific, and promote energy security, adaptation to changing
weather patterns, and the effective management of natural resources. U.S. assistance programs will
benefit the Afghan people through support of critical sectors, namely health, education, food security, and
livelihoods. In addition, targeted support will be provided to Afghan civil society organizations, with a
focus on efforts that protect women and girls and promote human rights more broadly. In Pakistan,
assistance will support Pakistan’s recovery from devastating floods, diversify the energy supply, and
support activities to build emergency preparedness capabilities. Assistance to Pakistan will expand private
sector economic growth; strengthen democratic institutions; and advance gender equity and women’s
empowerment.
Western Hemisphere ($532.1 million): The Request will invest in programs that build economic
resilience, democratic stability, and citizen security in the region. ESF programs will advance
Administration priorities to support democracy and good governance, economic growth and development,
manage regional migration, build emergency preparedness capabilities, and protect natural resources.
Activities will address the root causes of irregular hemispheric migration, including through promoting
regional prosperity and economic resilience and combating inequality, corruption and insecurity –
problems made exponentially worse through recent severe economic contraction in Latin America and the
Caribbean. In Central America, the Request supports the Administration’s Root Causes Strategy through
123
citizen security and economic resilience initiatives. In Haiti, the request supports the Haitian people
against the multiple complex challenges they face in insecurity, health, and democracy. The Request
sustains programs in Colombia to support peace accord implementation, such as through access to justice,
citizen security, and public services in conflict-affected areas; generate licit economic alternatives to coca
cultivation; support the socio-economic integration of Venezuelan migrants and Colombian returnees into
host communities; and conserve Columbia’s biodiversity and forests. In Venezuela, these funds will
strengthen diverse democratic actors to exercise their rights of free speech and assembly and defend
democratic principles. The request also supports programs in Mexico to address corruption and promote
human rights; strengthen energy security; and promotes economic opportunities, especially in southern
Mexico. Through the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative, the Request will build community, local, and
national crime and violence prevention capacity, as well as provide critical social, educational, and
economic opportunities to youth to reduce the risk of involvement in crime and violence.
Functional Bureaus and Offices ($1,727.1 million): In addition to funding programs in priority
countries, ESF resources will enable State Department and USAID efforts to prevent conflict, counter
violent extremism, promote the rights and empowerment of women and girls, prevent and respond to
gender-based violence, implement the Strategy required by the Women, Peace, and Security Act,
empower local civil society to advocate for resilient democratic institutions, and protect human rights via
the funding requested for the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO); Bureau of
Counterterrorism (CT); Office for Global Women’s Issues (S/GWI); and Bureau of Democracy, Human
Rights and Labor (DRL). The ESF request also includes funding for the Gender Equity and Equality
Action (GEEA) fund, which will be implemented by the reorganized USAID Bureau for Development,
Democracy, and Innovation (DDI) and S/GWI to advance women’s economic security and support gender
equality and women’s empowerment through technical assistance, training, and evaluation. The ESF
request will further contribute to implementation of the Presidential Initiative for Democratic Renewal in
support of Summit for Democracy commitments. In addition, funding from the ESF Request will support
the Enterprise for Development, Growth, and Empowerment (EDGE) Fund, which will unlock
partnerships with multinational and local private sector entities to co-design, leverage, and promote
sustainable business practices, market development innovations, and inclusive entrepreneurship.
Funding requested for the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs (EB), Bureau of Energy Resources
(ENR), Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy (GHSD), Office of Global Partnerships (GP),
and the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES) and the Special
Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC) will enable the U.S. government to play a leading role in
combatting climate change, advancing energy security, promoting international conservation efforts,
strengthening the global health security architecture, promoting alternatives to the malign influence of
strategic competitors, and encouraging sustainable development and economic growth.
In particular, there is an increase for ENR and the USAID Bureau for Resilience, Environment, and Food
Security (REFS) to support targeted initiatives to increase energy security. Disruptions of global energy
supplies have underscored the need to diversify energy sources and reduce demand. Building a resilient
global energy system requires the widespread scale up of energy efficiency to reduce demand, rapid
deployment of clean and renewable energy, improved energy storage, and end-use electrification,
particularly in geographies reliant on Russian oil and gas.
There is also an increase for OES and REFS to support international forest conservation. In recent years,
forest and ecosystem loss has increased at unprecedented rates. The request would promote effective,
long-term management of protected and conserved areas and their contiguous buffer zones in critical
forest basins, including the Amazon, Congo, and Southeast Asia.
124
The request also includes $800.0 million in ESF for the State Department to provide to the Green Climate
Fund (GCF). Combined with funds requested through the Treasury Department for the GCF, this funding
will foster climate-resilient development and low-emission investment across a variety of sectors,
including by mobilizing private finance and leveraging other donors. The planned funding will
demonstrate U.S. leadership on climate finance and our commitment to supporting developing countries
through the GCF.
Funding requested for the Global Engagement Center (R/GEC) will support efforts to expose and deny
global disinformation and propaganda efforts that aim to undermine the policies, security, and stability of
the United States, its allies, and its partners; funding for the newly established Cyberspace and Digital
Policy Bureau (CDP) will advance U.S. leadership through information and communications technology
(ICT) and cyber capacity building programming that will promote an open, interoperable, reliable, and
secure Internet. Funding for the Office of Foreign Assistance will support Department-wide MEL efforts.
Finally, funding for ISN will support international engagement to promote enhanced and more efficient
cooperation and assistance in the application of nuclear science and technology for peaceful purposes to
meet development needs through the Sustained Dialogue on Peaceful Uses Initiative.
Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII) Fund ($250.0 million): The
Department and USAID will support PGII through a co-managed Fund that will respond to time-sensitive
technical assistance needs necessary to advance strategic infrastructure projects in low- and middle-
income countries. The Fund will focus on removing transaction-level barriers and building like-minded
partner consortiums to compete on projects and mobilize financing from the U.S. government, the private
sector, and other partners, in the areas of climate and energy security, health and health security, digital
connectivity, gender equity and equality and related transportation infrastructure. The Department and
USAID will collaborate with the private sector and other partners to support infrastructure to provide a
compelling case for our model of development.
Countering PRC Influence Fund (CPIF) ($127.5 million requested within ESF, of which $42.5
million requested centrally): The CPIF will strengthen the Administration’s efforts to support our
partners ability to maintain their own autonomy, security, and prosperity, especially for countries that
stand on the frontlines of People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) coercion in line with principles articulated
in the National Security Strategy. CPIF will support the Administration’s goals to increase the capacity
and resilience of U.S. partners and allies worldwide to deter aggression, coercion, and influence by the
government of the PRC and associated actors. Funds will, amongst other uses, help confront unfair and
illegal trade practices, cyber theft, and corrupt and coercive economic practices abroad that undercut
access to favorable advanced and emerging technologies and seek to erode our strategic advantage and
national competitiveness.
Prevention and Stabilization Fund (PSF) ($114.5 million requested within ESF): This funding will
support the implementation of the strategy under the 2019 Global Fragility Act (GFA) to adopt a multi-
pronged, multi-sectoral approach to strengthen the resilience of partner nations and civil society to
address fragility challenges in countries at risk of or experiencing instability and conflict. The State
Department and USAID will use these funds to directly address fragility, informed by the country and
region 10-year plans. Funding will support context specific efforts to strengthen social cohesion,
including gender inclusion and equity for underserved communities, combat corruption, protect human
rights, promote conflict reduction and reconciliation, engage private-sector actors in peacebuilding, and
reinforce critical governance reforms, as well as enable international coordination and monitoring
evaluation and learning. Funding will seek to anticipate and prevent conflict, support inclusive, locally-
driven, political processes to stabilize conflict-affected areas, engage external partners in U.S. efforts, and
improve and integrate interagency capabilities.
125
Global Concessional Financing Facility (GCFF) ($40.0 million): This request will support funding for
the GCFF, a trust fund operated by the World Bank using donor-provided contributions. Co-financing
from the GCFF allows middle-income countries hosting large refugee populations to access multilateral
development bank loans at more concessional terms, enabling those countries to address the development
challenges of forced displacement. Funding the GCFF is an important demonstration of U.S. support for
refugee populations and an acknowledgement of the challenges confronting both refugee and host
communities. Countries currently eligible for support from the GCFF are Colombia, Ecuador, Jordan, and
Lebanon.
Atlantic Cooperation ($47.0 million): The United States has a strategic interest in increasing integration
and cooperation with coastal Atlantic countries on four continents. No Atlantic multilateral mechanism
exists that includes the key nations in the South Atlantic, which includes regional powerhouses like Brazil
and fragile states in West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea. This strategic gap is not lost on our global
competitors. At the same time, coastal Atlantic countries share many common challenges that cross
borders and cannot be solved unilaterally. This request will support a diplomatic mechanism to bring
together nations bordering the Atlantic Ocean around shared principles and cooperation on maritime
security, economy, and environmental protection. The requested funding will support U.S. leadership and
allow the USG to launch new, innovative programs using new technologies, training, forecasting -and
other effective approaches to these chronic problems. The result will be a rules-based Atlantic community
that protects resources and enables safe and productive economic activity.
Vision for Adaptive Crops and Soils (VACS) ($75.0 million): The request also supports the new Vision
for Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS). Building a more resilient food system requires systemic changes.
In support of Feed the Future, VACS will increase productivity through a systemic focus on building soil
health and increasing the resilience of key indigenous food crops. Programming will facilitate and deploy
best practices for improving and sustaining soil health. It will also catalyze investments in plant breeding
in order to develop crops that are productive, nutritious, and adapted to changing weather.

The Democracy Fund (DF) FY 2024 request of $290.7 million supports democracy, human rights, and
governance (DRG) as a critical component of defending U.S. national security, fostering economic
opportunities for Americans, and asserting U.S. leadership and influence abroad. DRG programming will
help build resilient, democratic societies and support countries that are committed to building effective,
transparent, and accountable governments that respect human rights and can deliver social and political
benefits to citizens. The request funds programs that build the capacity of local organizations and
governments; preserve and expand respect for democratic principles and citizen-centered governance; and
respond to political transitions, restrictive civic space, and crises. The request also funds DRG programs
that build respect for human rights and inclusive development and governance, as well as those that
promote gender equality and the rights of women and girls. The request also supports implementation of
the Presidential Initiative for Democratic Renewal (PIDR), a signature initiative of the Summit for
Democracy.
USAID Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (USAID/DRG) ($100.0 million):
The Request will enable the new Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance to provide
strategic support to unanticipated political openings, transitions, and critical development opportunities
that strengthen institutions; foster the rule of law and government transparency; strengthen citizen-
centered governance; advance human rights; address restrictions on civic space and strengthen civil
society and civic education; support independent media operating in the public interest; and promote free
and fair electoral processes that are competitive and peaceful. The request includes support for ending
gender-based violence, promoting the rights of members of marginalized groups, fostering inclusive
development across a range of underserved communities (e.g., LGBTQI+ persons and women), and
bolstering democratic resilience as strategic and programmatic priorities. The request will also support
DRG’s implementation of the PIDR and broader Summit for Democracy goals.
State Department Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) ($180.7 million): This
request supports the Biden-Harris Administration’s foreign policy priorities of promoting and defending
democracy globally, to include efforts to counter authoritarianism; promote human rights; and
meaningfully address diversity, equity, and inclusion as core elements of good governance. DRL will
advance pressing democracy and governance priorities globally, including empowering civil society
activists and human rights defenders in their efforts to promote rule of law, freedom of expression, and
other vital fundamental freedoms; supporting free and fair, and representative, elections; promoting the
human rights of vulnerable persons, including LGBTQI+ persons, women, and persons with disabilities;
supporting Internet freedom; advancing anti-corruption and transparency; strengthening transitional
justice processes; supporting independent media; and combatting closing spaces. The request will also
support DRL’s implementation of the PIDR and broader Summit for Democracy goals.
State Department Office of International Religious Freedom (J/IRF) ($10.0 million): This request
will support one of the Administration’s top priorities: addressing threats to religious freedom on a global
127
scale, particularly in closed or closing political systems. J/IRF seeks this funding to combat new models
of authoritarianism and democratic backsliding triggering societal intolerance and human rights abuses so
that all community members may fully participate in their communities without compromising their
beliefs. Programs advance religious freedom by addressing governmental restraints such as restrictive
laws and policies including for indigenous people that are not in compliance with international
obligations, addressing societal restraints such as xenophobia, racism, and inter- and intra-communal
violence, and using media to increase information flow around religious freedom issues. Promoting the
rights of those most vulnerable and expanding religious freedom fosters political stability, economic
growth, and human security for all.

defeat by supporting countries in Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia as they face intensified Russian
aggression and malign influence, and severe economic disruption as a result of Russia’s war against
Ukraine. The global condemnation of Russia’s war requires continued U.S. leadership and strengthened

independent media, and improve the integrity of electoral processes as Moldova works towards
its EU accession goals. The United States will provide increased support to Moldova’s energy
sector in light of severe vulnerabilities caused by Russia’s war against Ukraine and assist
Moldova’s integration with European energy markets. This assistance will aim to enhance
private-sector competitiveness and regulatory reform, as Moldova strengthens market linkages
with the West and looks to increase transparent and high-standard foreign investment.
• Armenia ($40.0 million): U.S. assistance will support democratic reforms, rule of law, and
combat disinformation and corruption. It will help foster a sustainable recovery from the
humanitarian impact from the fall 2020 and fall 2022 intensive fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh,

five Central Asian countries to work on shared objectives. Assistance will address the long-term impact of
Russia’s war in Ukraine on the region, including the effects of sanctions on Russia, as well as the impact
of Ukrainians and Russians fleeing the war in Ukraine. Assistance resources will support U.S. objectives
of a sovereign, stable, and independent region that can make its own political and economic decisions
independent of external actors. Funding prioritizes support for strengthening democracy, human rights
and governance; combating climate change; investing in agriculture, including with a view to mitigating
food insecurity and basic and higher education; and supporting gender equity and equality. Regional
highlights include:
131

programs to improve the transit of legal goods and services across borders; address the effects of
climate change by increasing cooperation and rational use of water and other natural resources;
improve governance along trade and transit corridors; leverage English language programs to
advance U.S. policy objectives; and counter violent extremism. Funding will also support the
OSCE to advance U.S. foreign policy goals, such as the promotion of democracy and human
rights. This regional programming complements bilateral programs in Central Asia to build
resilience to economic and political pressures resulting from Russian and PRC influence.
• Uzbekistan ($32.0 million): U.S. assistance will continue to support Uzbekistan’s reform efforts
and mitigate the effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Uzbekistan’s economy. Funding will
help the Government of Uzbekistan's efforts to modernize its basic education system and produce
English-speaking and IT-literate graduates. Funding will also advance systemic rule of law
reforms, including those intended to combat corruption across the government, which are critical
to restoring citizens’ faith in leadership. U.S. assistance will facilitate economic sector reforms,
including development of capital markets, tax administration, and management of critical
resources. This, in concert with anticorruption reforms, will improve the business climate for
foreign direct investment, which is key to reducing Uzbekistan’s economic reliance on Russia.
U.S. assistance also will strengthen civil society and independent media.
• Tajikistan ($30.5 million): U.S. assistance will support Tajikistan’s sovereignty, security, and
stability by strengthening democratic institutions, supporting education and health reform.

Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023 (Div. M, P.L. 117-328) to address humanitarian needs in, and to
assist refugees from, Ukraine, and for additional support for other vulnerable populations and communities.
The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) is the humanitarian arm of the Department of
State that, along with USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), ensures that humanitarian
principles are thoroughly integrated into U.S. foreign and national security policy. PRM’s mission is to
provide protection, ease suffering, and resolve the plight of persecuted, conflict affected, and forcibly
displaced people around the world. PRM supports the provision of life-saving assistance and protection
and works to achieve durable solutions for millions of people in some of the world’s most vulnerable
situations, including refugees, victims of conflict, internally displaced persons (IDPs), stateless persons,
and vulnerable migrants, including through refugee resettlement in the United States. PRM-funded
activities support strategic U.S. foreign policy objectives and contribute to regional stability.
The FY 2024 MRA request of $3,912.0 million will support continued U.S. leadership on refugee and
humanitarian issues. The request provides the resources necessary to fully support the U.S. Refugee
Admissions Program and will fund contributions International Organizations, including the UN High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the
International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine
Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), as well as other international and non-governmental organizations
that address urgent humanitarian needs and promote durable solutions overseas, and that support the
resettlement of refugees in the United States.
133
Contributions to multilateral international humanitarian organizations, combined with humanitarian
diplomacy and advocacy, ensures U.S. leadership and influence in the humanitarian and international
communities, which enables the shaping of international responses to humanitarian crises, maintains
global response capacity, promotes responsibility sharing, and provides support to refugee and migrant
host nations to meet their responsibilities and their commitments to forcibly displaced people.
Overseas Assistance ($2,887.0 million): U.S. overseas support is commensurate with strengthened U.S.
humanitarian and multilateral leadership to address the most pressing crises across the globe. MRA-
funded programs meet protection and basic needs of refugees and other vulnerable populations, including
water and sanitation, nutrition and health care, shelter, mental health, and family reunification, while also
promoting self-reliance of refugees through education and economic opportunities and support to host
communities. PRM programs and diplomatic efforts emphasize protection of the most vulnerable,
including women, children, the elderly, disabled, and LGBTQI+ persons; support durable solutions to
displacement through voluntary repatriation, local integration, or refugee resettlement in a third country;
advocate for safe, humane, and orderly international migration policies; and aim to ensure that
humanitarian principles continue to be respected.
Refugee Admissions ($930.0 million): The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) represents an
important element of both refugee protection and durable solutions when repatriation and local integration
are not possible. PRM continues to rebuild and expand the nation’s refugee resettlement infrastructure to
provide more durable solutions to refugees in need, in line with the President’s vision. The MRA request
supports the resettlement of up to 125,000 refugees and related efforts. Funding will enable international
and non-governmental organizations to help refugees and certain other categories of special immigrants to
resettle in communities across the United States. The USRAP focuses on providing initial reception and
placement services for refugees, and on assisting them achieve economic self-sufficiency. USRAP
priorities in FY 2024 include the expansion of the Welcome Corps, a new private sponsorship program
that empowers everyday Americans to play a leading role in welcoming refugees; continued expansion of
legal pathways for Central Americans; enhanced access to the USRAP for Afghans at-risk due to their
affiliation with the United States; increased resettlement of LGBTQI+ refugees; priority access for at-risk
Uyghurs, Hong Kong refugees, and Burmese dissidents; possible large-scale resettlement of Burmese
Rohingya in Bangladesh, and expansion of the Resettlement Diplomacy Network and U.S.-led efforts to
increase resettlement and resettlement infrastructure globally.
Humanitarian Migrants to Israel ($5.0 million): The FY 2024 MRA request helps identify durable
solutions by maintaining U.S. government support for the relocation and integration of Jewish migrants to
Israel, including those from the former Soviet Union, Near East, and Ethiopia.
Administrative Expenses ($90.0 million): The FY 2024 request will ensure monitoring and oversight of
MRA-funded programs and support the Department of State’s lead role in humanitarian and migration
issues; policy oversight of international organizations, and other partners; and related diplomatic
engagement. The largest portion of administrative expenses will cover the salaries, benefits, and travel
costs of U.S. direct hire staff, including regional refugee coordinators posted in 32 U.S. embassies around
the world.

The President’s Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance (ERMA) Fund enables the President to
address urgent unexpected refugee and migration needs worldwide. The FY 2024 Request of $100.0
million ERMA funding may be used to meet unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs including
support to strengthen protection and provide emergency assistance including shelter, nutrition, water and
sanitation, health and psychosocial support, and mental health for refugees, victims of conflict, and other
persons at risk. The ERMA fund allows the United States to respond quickly to urgent and unexpected
needs of refugees and other populations of concern. As of February 24, 2022, there was $50.3 million
available in ERMA for use to address future unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs.
On February 24, 2023, the President authorized the drawdown of up to $50 million from the ERMA
account, that in addition to other assistance provided, were used to meet unexpected urgent refugee and
migration needs resulting from the February 2023 earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. As of March 2023,
the United States had provided $185.0 million to support those affected by this disaster.
In FY 2022, the President authorized a total of $2.2 billion Congress appropriated in ERMA for the

FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted includes $50.0 million in emergency funding that was shifted from the base in the FY
2023 Enacted.
Title II of the Food for Peace Act (P.L. 83-480, as amended, formerly the Agricultural Trade
Development and Assistance Act of 1954) authorizes the provision of U.S. in-kind food assistance to
meet emergency food needs around the world and funds multi-year, multisectoral programs to help
address the underlying causes of food insecurity. Funding for Title II is appropriated to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture and is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID)’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA).
The FY 2024 Title II request of $1,800.0 million primarily includes resources for Title II emergency food
programs. In an emergency where people face acute food insecurity, agricultural commodities procured
from the United States play an important role in humanitarian response, especially in places where local
and regional markets cannot sustain populations in need. Title II in-kind food is critical to ongoing
humanitarian responses, such as the conflict in Yemen, drought in the Horn of Africa, the complex
emergency in South Sudan, and a deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo. In humanitarian programs designed to save lives, boost the resilience of disaster-affected
communities, and support the transition from relief to recovery, BHA complements Title II in-kind food
with market-based food assistance authorized as International Disaster Assistance in the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961, as well as support for health, nutrition, shelter, protection, and other humanitarian
sectors. The flexibility to provide an integrated package of humanitarian assistance interventions is
critical to maintain USAID’s global humanitarian leadership.
In addition to emergency programs, USAID also works with communities that are susceptible to recurrent
shocks to improve and sustain their food and nutrition security through non-emergency programs called
Resilience Food Security Activities (RFSAs). These unique, multi-year programs build on emergency
food security interventions to strengthen the resilience of people, communities, countries, and systems in
a way that reduces chronic vulnerability and facilitates inclusive growth. The FY 2024 Title II request
includes $285 million for this purpose.
The Administration is separately requesting an additional $80 million in the Development Assistance
account (for the USAID’s Community Development Fund (CDF)), bringing the total funding for these
programs to $365 million. Together, Title II and CDF resources are a cornerstone of USAID’s efforts to
address household-level chronic food insecurity in areas of recurrent crises – interventions that are critical
to both the immediate and long-term response to the global food security crisis. For every one dollar
invested through RFSAs, households could see over three dollars in additional benefits, helping families
136
move out of dependency on aid. As needs continue to rise worldwide, U.S. assistance programs have
never been more vital.
The necessity of reauthorizing the Food for Peace Act, including the Farmer-to-Farmer program in Title
V, before the end of FY 2023 presents an opportunity to streamline the administrative implementation of
the Title II program as well as address the logistical and operational constraints to make Title II more
efficient and effective. The request reflects the importance of U.S. in-kind agricultural commodities to
humanitarian response, but also acknowledges the opportunity to improve the effectiveness and efficiency
of U.S. food assistance programs through the reauthorization of the Food for Peace Act. The
Administration is committed to supporting integrated, multi-sectoral humanitarian assistance efficiently,
effectively, and so that all whom BHA serves are treated with dignity and respect. The FY 2024 Request,
coupled with the reauthorization of the Food for Peace Act, will allow the United States to lead the
international humanitarian system with innovative, flexible, multisectoral programming in FY 2024 and
beyond.

FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted is the same as the Enacted level for the Peace Corps Account.
The Peace Corps’ FY 2024 budget request of $495.0 million, which includes $7.3 million for the Office
of Inspector General, will allow the agency to meet its core goals: to help the people of interested
countries in meeting their need for trained men and women; to help promote a better understanding of
Americans on the part of the peoples served; and to help promote a better understanding of other peoples
on the part of Americans. This request supports a cost-effective investment in strengthening our nation by
advancing sustainable, localized development and promoting people-to-people ties. The Peace Corps also
helps develop the next generation of American leaders who return home and leverage their leadership and
entrepreneurial skills to serve communities across the United States.
The FY 2024 request funds the agency’s current services, enabling the Peace Corps to absorb mandatory
costs and to sustain investments made in critical information technology, health, safety, and security
infrastructure essential to the deployment of Peace Corps Volunteers. The request continues to fund the
return of Volunteers overseas, providing resources to support 61 posts with a projected total onboard
strength of 5,180 Volunteers by the end of FY 2024. The request also includes $16.0 million to address
critical cybersecurity requirements and expand outreach to recruit Volunteers in a challenging labor
market.
The Peace Corps selects, trains, and supports American Volunteers who live and work in areas around the
world that other U.S. government programs are often unable to reach. Most Volunteers serve for 27
months, integrating into local communities to partner on locally-prioritized projects that build
relationships, promote knowledge exchange, and make lasting and positive contributions to host
communities. In addition, the Peace Corps provides specialized assistance in short-term assignments
through Peace Corps Response, a program that matches experienced individuals with unique
opportunities that require advanced language, technical, and intercultural skills. This request also supports
virtual service, a key innovation that has been piloted for more than two years. Virtual service allows
Americans to support the Peace Corps who are otherwise qualified, but cannot medically clear for in-
person service, and it enables the agency to partner with communities where in-person service is currently
impossible for safety or security reasons, such as in Ukraine. Through all of its programs, the Peace Corps
is committed to ensuring that Volunteers represent the diversity of the United States.
Peace Corps Volunteers live and work in host communities, learning the local language and culture, and
cooperating with counterparts – farmers, teachers, youth, health workers, and other motivated individuals
– to support the development priorities of both the host country and the local community. This focus on
supporting local solutions while living and working within host communities is why the Peace Corps has
been at the forefront of localization and local ownership of international development for 60 years. In
addition, almost 80% of Peace Corps efforts engage youth, contributing to the development of the next
generation of global leaders, a critical investment for a secure, sustainable, and prosperous future.
138
The Peace Corps does not simply benefit people abroad; it also benefits the United States. Peace Corps
service extends well beyond a two-year commitment. It fosters a lifetime of global connection and
national service. There are thousands of returned Peace Corps Volunteers continuing to serve in the
United States – in the foreign and civil service, non-profit, healthcare, education, and many more fields.
The skills developed in the Peace Corps enable returned Volunteers to contribute to America long after
service overseas concludes.

FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted is the same as the Enacted level for the MCC Account.
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is requesting $1.1 billion in discretionary funding for FY
2024 to fund new compacts in Belize and Sierra Leone, as well as the Côte d’Ivoire Regional Compact
and to provide ongoing compact development and oversight support for 26 programs, including 20
Compacts and 6 Threshold Programs. This request also provides an increase for administrative expenses
to MCC’s core operations and includes at least $200 million in mandatory appropriations from the
International Infrastructure Fund – as part of a broader proposal to out-compete China globally. MCC’s
grant financing of high-quality, sustainable infrastructure stands in contrast to predatory financing from
other sources.
MCC’s partner countries must meet rigorous, data-driven standards for good governance based on
indicators that measure a country’s commitment to just and democratic governance, economic freedom,
and investments in their people. Specifically, to be considered for MCC funding, countries must first pass
MCC’s scorecard—a collection of 20 independent and transparent third-party indicators that measure a
country’s policy performance in these three areas. This competitive selection process ensures that MCC
only works with poor countries that are demonstrating a commitment to the policies necessary to drive
poverty-reducing economic growth. This selectivity also creates incentives for countries to improve their
policy performance in the hope of becoming eligible for MCC assistance.
Once a country is selected as eligible to receive MCC assistance, MCC works closely with its country
counterparts to design cost-effective programs that address binding constraints to economic growth. MCC
also works closely with the private sector to leverage its expertise and resources and to incentivize policy
reforms that ensure the sustainability of MCC’s programs. By taking this country-led, results-driven
approach and collaborating with the private sector, MCC empowers the poor and catalyzes private
investment.
To ensure the most impactful utilization of MCC funds, MCC holds itself and its partners accountable for
achieving results. Data-driven, evidence-based decision-making is at the core of MCC operations,
ensuring the agency maximizes the impact and cost-effectiveness of its programs. This commitment
continues to be recognized, with MCC ranking number one for the seventh consecutive year of all federal
agencies measured in Results for America’s 2022 “Federal Invest in What Works Index.”
In FY 2024, MCC will build upon its successful track record in partnering with countries to promote
economic growth in an extremely challenging global context of geopolitical tensions, climate change, and
worsening inflationary pressures threatening global economic growth prospects. The agency is poised to
expand its evidence-based and American values-driven model to help meet these challenges. These
programs include opportunities to provide sustainable infrastructure investments that build on MCC’s
nearly two decades of experience of delivering complex, high-quality infrastructure on time, on budget,
and with transparency and high standards. Focusing on these key areas will empower MCC to expand
impact and continue to deliver on its singular mission: reducing poverty through economic growth.

The FY 2024 Request of $52 million for the Inter-American Foundation (IAF) will enable the agency to
advance community-designed and community-led development in underserved areas of Latin American
and the Caribbean. The IAF’s network of grassroots grantees reaches particularly remote, rural, and
underserved communities with the resources they need to rebuild stronger for a more prosperous,
peaceful, and democratic region.
The IAF will advance U.S. priorities and goodwill in the Hemisphere by providing grants that expand
economic opportunities for sustainable livelihoods, strengthen civic engagement for better governance,
and promote safe and peaceful communities.
In FY 2024, the IAF will advance U.S. strategic priorities by supporting marginalized populations and
underserved communities in the region by:
The IAF’s deep ties and more than half a century of expertise working with civil society, including
incipient and grassroots organizations, complement the efforts of other U.S. foreign assistance agencies.
Over the last five years new grantees committed $1.24 for every $1 invested by IAF. The IAF multiplies
its impact by collaborating on priority interagency initiatives and mobilizing additional funding and
technical expertise from the private sector. Through peer-to-peer exchanges, the agency also connects its
grantees within and among countries and with U.S.-based Native American Tribal Nations to share their
lessons learned.
The IAF will continue to leverage its approach and network in support of its mission and the interests of

The FY 2024 request of $46.0 million for U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) programs will
provide resources to establish new grants and to support an active portfolio of over 518 grants to
community-based enterprises as of October 1, 2022.
USADF is a Federally funded public corporation promoting economic development among marginalized
populations in Sub-Saharan Africa. USADF impacts about one million people each year in underserved
communities across Africa. Its innovative small grants program (less than $250,000 per grant) based on
effectiveness, efficiencies, and return on taxpayer investments work together to increase food security,
power local communities and enterprises through clean energy solutions, and provide entrepreneurial
opportunities and improved income potential for Africa’s women and youth. USADF’s programmatic
speed and agility allows it to establish programs in post-conflict areas in months, not years, and prioritizes
innovative programs and new approaches to be integrated into core investments.
USADF furthers U.S. priorities in these areas to ensure critical development initiatives enacted by
Congress, such as the Global Food Security Act, Electrify Africa Act, and the African Growth and
Opportunities Act, extend to underserved rural populations. In Africa, it is estimated that the current
climate trajectory could force more than 100 million people into extreme poverty by 2030. The continent
is the most-exposed region to the adverse effects of climate change despite contributing the least to global
warming. For USADF’s work, climate-related impacts are felt across all agricultural and economic
development activities. USADF’s program is combatting and mitigating the impact of climate change.
The Sahel Region Initiative, with the aim of creating climate-resilient communities, strengthens the
resiliency of producers and agricultural enterprises to climate-related shocks by encouraging and
facilitating innovative technologies and environmentally sustainable practices.
USADF’s results-based development model maximizes taxpayer dollars by linking African host country
dollars, corporate social investments, and interagency funding sources to achieve sustainable economic
growth opportunities for grassroots, small, and growing enterprises in underserved regions across Africa.

FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted is the same as the Enacted level for the OTA Account.
The FY 2024 Budget requests $45 million for Treasury’s Office of Technical Assistance (OTA).
Program Description
OTA works with finance ministries, central banks, and related government institutions to support efficient
revenue collection, well-planned and -executed budgets, judicious debt management, sound and inclusive
banking and financial systems, and strong controls to combat money laundering and other economic
crimes. OTA complements the work of Treasury’s offices of International Affairs and Terrorism and
Financial Intelligence by helping the governments of developing and transitional countries build the
human and institutional capacity to implement improvements in economic policies and policies to counter
terrorist financing. OTA also supports partner countries’ efforts to raise their own domestic resources
more effectively, thereby reducing dependence on foreign assistance. OTA’s work is critical for meeting
U.S. foreign policy and national security goals, such as private sector-led economic growth, reduced
corruption, infrastructure development, addressing climate and energy challenges, and increased
accountability and transparency. OTA is a small, cost-effective program that leverages a cadre of highly
experienced technical advisors who work side-by-side with host country counterparts. Currently, OTA
has projects in approximately 40 countries in Latin America, Africa, Europe/Eurasia, and Asia.
Demand for OTA assistance around the world is strong and continues to increase. OTA would use the
requested budget resources in FY 2024 to respond quickly and in a sustained way to this growing demand
with an emphasis on those areas that are priorities for the United States, including combating terrorist
financing and financial crimes, reducing dependence on foreign financial aid through improved domestic
resource mobilization, and creating the conditions for inclusive private sector-led economic growth,
including by improving the climate for private sector investment in sustainable infrastructure projects in
developing and transitional countries. Additionally, the requested resources would enable the program to
assist partner countries in developing and implementing fiscally-sound approaches to financing climate-
related or environmental projects, including renewable energy and infrastructure projects, expanding
access to financial services, and strengthening transparency and accountability in public finance systems
to combat corruption. The request also supports important ongoing enhancements to OTA’s project
monitoring and evaluation regime.
How Support to OTA Promotes U.S. National Security and Economic Growth
OTA performs an important role in support of U.S. national security by helping developing and
transitional countries combat financial crimes, money laundering, and terrorist financing. In addition,
OTA helps to stabilize banking systems, develop capital markets, improve investment climates, including
for infrastructure, and improve transparency and accountability in government finances. This helps to
spur private sector led economic growth, thereby supporting the development of foreign markets for U.S.
exports.
143
Achieving and Measuring Results
Monitoring Progress
OTA has a robust system for monitoring technical assistance project performance, from project initiation
and planning, through execution, to post-project evaluation. At the inception of each project, OTA and the
relevant foreign government ministry or central bank identify the high-level aims of the engagement,
which are reflected in signed terms of reference. The terms of reference are complemented by a detailed
project framework that specifies the project goals, activities to be undertaken by OTA and the
counterparts, as well as the outputs and outcomes that will provide evidence that the goals of the project
have been met. OTA advisors, in consultation with the counterparts, then develop an annual workplan to
sequence and execute the planned activities contained in the project framework.
As each project is executed, OTA advisors provide monthly reports and trip reports to Treasury leadership
and other stakeholders on the execution of the project plan, including progress against objectives. These
reports are validated through ongoing dialogue with advisors coupled with project reviews – both in-
person and remote – conducted by OTA management. OTA also systematically assesses the level of
“traction,” or the degree to which foreign counterparts are engaging proactively and constructively with
OTA advisors, at the working and policy levels. The levels of traction and other indicators of project
progress are closely monitored by OTA senior management, including as part of formal project reviews
conducted three times per year.
OTA will continue to enhance its project monitoring capabilities. For example, the program has begun
producing and collecting standard data on program design and implementation, enabling the development
of project level dashboards that support OTA management in making data-driven decisions about project
performance, including investing additional resources into projects with high traction, and making timely
interventions into stalled or faltering projects. Moving forward, the program will develop project
monitoring tools that facilitate comparisons across projects, regions, project modalities, and other project
characteristics as OTA further refines its ability to plan and execute impactful projects.
In accordance with the Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act (FATAA), OTA continues to
strengthen its ability to measure the results of its technical assistance projects through improved
evaluation tools, including conducting independent (third-party) evaluations of OTA projects. To support
the costs of independent evaluations and related activities, OTA is requesting $4.5 million in program
resources. These resources will support an estimated 14 evaluations in FY 2024, including 10 external
evaluations and four conducted by OTA personnel. Once OTA’s enhanced evaluation regime is fully
implemented, each OTA project would be subject to an independent evaluation at its midpoint (generally
after the second year of technical assistance activities) and 6-12 months after a project concludes.
Evaluations seek to determine the extent to which project goals were achieved. The results of evaluations
will be made available to the public as required by the FATAA.
Project Examples
Angola Launches Liability Management Program. OTA assisted Angola’s Ministry of Finance (MoF)
to establish a liability management program and execute debt exchange transactions as part of MoF’s
effort to reduce risk and more efficiently manage its sovereign debt. OTA worked with the MoF Debt
Management Office to analyze the domestic debt portfolio, identify vulnerabilities, and formulate a debt
optimization strategy. Before launching the liability management operations, OTA advised counterparts
144
in their communications with the market to ensure buy-in from current and potential debt holders. The
successful transactions reduced foreign currency and maturity risk by exchanging USD linked index
bonds for longer maturity (6, 8, 10 years) local currency benchmarks, which serve to improve liquidity in
the domestic government bond market. These transactions promote capital market development by
demonstrating the benefits of market-based instruments, pricing, and mechanisms.
Costa Rica Overhauls Tax Debt Collection. With OTA assistance, Costa Rica’s Ministry of Finance
(MoF) and General Directorate of Taxes (DGT) mapped and improved their tax debt collection policies,
procedural structures, enforcement measures, and public communication strategies. Based on OTA’s
guidance, the MoF and DGT enacted delinquent taxpayer installment agreements and partial payment
agreements. In addition, an early intervention strategy has been implemented for collections officers to
communicate with taxpayers immediately after an audit assessment. According to initial results, in 2022
the percentage of debtors paying in full rose by two percentage points to 13%, and the percentage of cases
resolved rose nine percentage points to 43%.
Indonesia Strengthens Cash Management. The Ministry of Finance of Indonesia’s General Directorate
of Treasury (DGT) implemented several new key processes and tools to reach internationally accepted
standards for cash management, which is a critical component of the government’s public financial
management reform efforts. With OTA assistance, the DGT developed new cash forecasting models and a
new methodology for calculating the level of cash reserve to manage cash allocations during the fiscal
year. The DGT also strengthened payment systems by developing and implementing strategies for
enhancing digitalization of payment documentation, scheduling payments, improving accuracy of social
program payments, and improving year end payment closing systems. OTA also supported the creation of
new tools to invest surplus cash including the use of reverse repurchase agreements. Together, these
reforms will enable the DGT to better manage and anticipate government cash requirements, decrease
cash flow volatility, and reduce the required size of the cash liquidity reserve balance.
Latvia Pursues Ambitious AML/CFT Reform. With OTA assistance, Latvian regulatory authorities
adopted a more aggressive enforcement posture to counter continued non-compliance by troublesome
banks. OTA assistance focused on improving data analytics and risk methodologies; developing activity-
based inspection tools; and creating a more dissuasive penalty structure (e.g., elimination of settlement
discount for banks not acting in good faith to remediate deficiencies). Due in large part to regulatory
pressure stemming from newly implemented effective risk-based supervision practices – and Latvia’s
commitment to guard against malign influences – three non-compliant commercial banks were dissolved
in 2022. Further, in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine, Latvian authorities froze 84 million EUR
owned or controlled by sanctioned individuals and entities, and suspended Latvia’s lucrative “golden
visa” investment program for Russian and Belarusian citizens. And, in August 2022, the Latvian
government noted a significant increase in trade volumes transiting through Kazakhstan and alerted other
countries to the suspected attempts to circumvent economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus. OTA
provided background support to the Latvian authorities in these actions, including by assisting
counterparts in overall coordination and resolving technical implementation issues.
Madagascar Establishes Financial Inclusion Database. With OTA assistance, Madagascar’s National
Committee for Financial Inclusion (CNFI), under the direction of the Ministry of Economy and Finance,
developed and implemented a national financial inclusion database. Such a database will provide
Government of Madagascar policy makers with key insights into their efforts regarding inclusive
financial services – where there has been progress, where there is more work to be done. CNFI and OTA
conducted socialization events with microfinance institutions and other key financial service providers in
rural areas of Madagascar to introduce the new database and emphasize the importance of reporting into
it. To date, over 75% of these financial sector actors serving low-income Malagasies are now reporting
into this database.

Transnational crime causes direct and significant harm to lives and communities in the United States,
primarily through international drug trafficking as evidenced by the domestic opioid — especially
fentanyl — crisis. Overseas, America’s strategic competitors leverage criminal proxies, corruption, and
weak institutions to advance political and commercial goals. The FY 2024 President’s Budget level of
$1.484 billion for the INCLE account will support programs that (1) disrupt and reduce illicit drug
markets and transnational crime to protect American lives and U.S. national security; (2) combat
corruption, illicit trafficking, and financial crimes to strengthen democratic institutions, advance the rule
of law, and reduce criminal activity; and (3) strengthen criminal justice systems to support rights-
respecting partners and reduce instability.
International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) Bureau global programs will counter corruption and
consolidate investments in combating transnational organized crime (TOC) and other national security
threats by addressing the synthetic opioid crisis, financial crimes, and cybercrime. Through its Drug
Supply Reduction program, INL advances actions and builds capacity to reduce the production and
trafficking of illicit fentanyl and other drugs, with a specific focus on precursor chemicals used in
synthetic drug production. INL helps to combat fentanyl by supporting international tools that enable
countries and businesses to take action to disrupt the synthetic drug supply chain. A range of bilateral
programs are also funded by INL to contribute to efforts addressing the global challenge of synthetic
drugs, particularly in countries with involvement in fentanyl supply chains, such as Mexico. INL
programs will continue to counter Russian malign influence, including through increased assistance for
Ukraine to support reform efforts within its law enforcement, criminal justice, and anti-corruption
institutions as well as advance accountability for Russia’s war crimes. In Haiti, following the
assassination of President Moïse in 2021 and the upsurge in gang violence, increased funding will expand
efforts to build the capacity of the Haitian National Police (HNP) to confront the gangs that pose a serious
threat to stability. For the Indo-Pacific, increased funding will be used to strengthen maritime security,
reduce illicit trafficking, and counter activity of concern by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) that
threatens sovereignty, the rule of law, and U.S. national security interests. INCLE programming will
include a focus on promoting democratic governance, strengthening human rights, and advancing
implementation of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-68) by supporting
women’s participation and leadership in the criminal justice system and access to justice for survivors of
gender-based violence (GBV). Programs will also promote a stable and open international system,
146
reinforcing bilateral and multilateral cooperation to address and mitigate security threats posed by illicit
trafficking in narcotics, persons, and wildlife. In addition, the request includes increases to support INL’s
contribution to the replacement of the Department’s outdated Air Wing aviation facilities and for Program
Development and Support (PD&S) funds, which are essential to the bureau’s ability to administer,
monitor, and evaluate its programs. The request also proposes a $40.0 million cancellation in prior year
funding to address high carry over balances.
Africa ($51.9 million): Transnational crime and endemic corruption continue to threaten economic
growth and stability across Africa, which negatively impacts U.S. national security interests. Throughout
sub-Saharan Africa, weak criminal justice systems and poor law enforcement-community relations reduce
stability and the ability to investigate and prosecute major crimes, including transnational crime and
terrorism. The INCLE request will support programs that promote stabilization; disrupt the illicit
trafficking of narcotics, goods, and persons; protect borders and coastlines; and counter financial crimes
and corruption. Funds will be used to strengthen criminal justice systems through regional programs in
East Africa, West Africa, and the Sahel, as well as bilateral programs. Additional funds for Nigeria will
help strengthen the country’s law enforcement in the face of increasing ISIS-West Africa activities.
East Asia and Pacific ($57.3 million): Porous borders, expansive and largely unpatrolled maritime
areas, abundant valuable natural resources, under-funded criminal justice sector institutions, corruption,
and PRC activity of concern create conditions under which criminal networks operate with impunity.
Assistance will strengthen U.S. national security by increasing partners’ capacity to safeguard their
borders and ensure freedom of navigation, and by countering security threats from state and non-state
actors. Increased funding will advance Indo-Pacific Strategy goals, including through support for the
Indo-Pacific Partnership for Maritime Domain Awareness, by expanding programming with Pacific
Island countries and key partners in Southeast Asia intended to counter the PRC’s efforts to assert undue
influence in the region. Programs will counter narcotics trafficking, helping stem the flow of synthetic
drugs, including fentanyl precursors, contributing to the U.S. opioid epidemic and instability and
corruption in partner nations. Assistance will also counter malign influence by strengthening the rule of
law, promoting respect for human rights, countering corruption and transnational criminal actors, and
strengthening maritime capacity to monitor and protect borders and exclusive economic zones. INL will
strengthen cooperation among law enforcement and other criminal justice sector entities in the areas of
civilian security sector reform, cybercrime, counternarcotics, trafficking in persons (TIP), wildlife
trafficking, maritime law enforcement, and the rule of law.
Europe and Eurasia ($104.6 million): Weak rule of law, widespread corruption, and rising
authoritarianism in parts of the region create an environment in which transnational criminal
organizations (TCOs) thrive and erode the stability of U.S. partners and their capacity to fight against
corruption, cybercrime, complex financial crimes, money laundering, and illegal trafficking. Increased
funding for Ukraine will support efforts to strengthen law enforcement and criminal justice institutions,
bolster efforts to advance accountability for Russia’s war crimes, and double down on U.S. investments to
advance reform. In addition to the Kremlin’s brutal war of aggression in Ukraine, Russia and its proxies
engage in hybrid warfare tactics to destabilize U.S. allies and partners across the region, utilizing a variety
of tools to weaken democratically elected governments and undermine security. Programs will focus on
promoting anti-corruption and transparency reforms, fighting TCOs, investigating and prosecuting money
laundering, raising awareness of corruption, expanding access to justice, combating trafficking, and
promoting regional cooperation to combat common security threats more effectively.
Near East ($59.2 million): Building lasting civilian security partnerships promotes stability, basic public
order, and justice while collectively deterring aggression and reducing threats to U.S. and partner interests
in this region. Ineffective, unresponsive, abusive, or corrupt civilian security and criminal justice
institutions can enable human rights abuses and exacerbate fragility, undermine the ability of U.S.
147
partners to contain and defeat terrorist groups, and overburden partner militaries with internal security
responsibilities, diverting valuable resources away from other critical security threats. INCLE programs
will advance U.S. national security interests by building the capacity of judicial and law enforcement
sectors in Lebanon and Jordan. Continued assistance for the West Bank will help build professional and
accountable security and criminal justice institutions that maintain security and stability, uphold the rule
of law and human rights, and contribute directly to regional security. Assistance for Syria will support
non-regime civilian security providers to deliver security services to their communities in northeast
Syria.
South and Central Asia ($49.1 million): In Central Asia, assistance will help improve the effectiveness
of criminal justice systems and increase the capacities of drug enforcement agencies to interdict illicit
narcotics, which help to fund extremists in the region. Funding will also support initiatives to combat
corruption, promote the rule of law, and counter malign influence. South Asia programs will strengthen
border and maritime security; work with law enforcement entities to combat transnational crimes,
including cybercrime and trafficking of wildlife, narcotics, and precursor chemicals for fentanyl and
methamphetamine. Programs will also seek to strengthen bilateral relations with India and other key
partners to counter PRC malign influence. Assistance for Pakistan will target the newly merged districts,
particularly along the Afghan border, promoting border security, capacity building for police, prosecutors,
and the judiciary, and opportunities for women to access justice and actively participate in the
administration of justice. Limited assistance in Afghanistan will continue to address the prevention and
treatment of substance abuse, including for women, while also implementing programming to turn
farmers towards licit livelihoods.
Western Hemisphere ($536.5 million): INCLE resources will support programming to reduce synthetic
drug and cocaine production and trafficking, disrupt TCOs, advance anti-corruption efforts, improve
citizen security, and address irregular migration through efforts to strengthen border security and reduce
human smuggling. Programs will expand information sharing across regional law enforcement networks,
support vetted units and task forces for transnational crime and counternarcotics, and increase the
capacity of local prosecutors to investigate and litigate criminal cases. Assistance will further bolster anti-
money laundering capabilities to deny and recover illicit revenue from organized crime. INL will build
partner country law enforcement capacity to eradicate and interdict drugs in Colombia, Peru, Mexico, and
Ecuador. The security relationship with Mexico is critical to efforts to address fentanyl trafficking. In
Mexico, funds will strengthen law enforcement capabilities, the rule of law, integrated border security,
and other efforts outlined in the U.S.-Mexico Bicentennial Framework for Security, Public Health, and
Safe Communities, with a sustained focus on reducing fentanyl production and trafficking. Resources will
support a whole-of-government approach to tackling the global synthetic drug challenge with the
Government of Mexico, building upon the North American Drug Dialogue initiatives that facilitate
collaboration with Canada, Mexico, and other key countries to address the drug epidemic and its related
harms. In Colombia, INL will continue to advance a counternarcotics strategy inclusive of drug supply
reduction, rural security and development, and efforts to reduce environmental crimes. In Haiti, INL will
expand its assistance to build the capacity of the HNP as a professional, accountable, and effective
institution to support citizen security and democratic stability. Programs will also strengthen the HNP
anti-gang capabilities and support joint efforts with USAID to institute longer-term community policing
and community-based crime prevention. In Central America, funding for anti-corruption, law
enforcement professionalization, and justice sector programs will support the Administration’s Root
Causes of Migration Strategy. Support to bilateral and regional partners through the Caribbean Basin
Security Initiative will promote regional cooperation to strengthen border security, counter trafficking and
gang violence, target money laundering, and support criminal justice sector reforms and capacity
building.
148
Centrally Managed INL Programs ($464.4 million): Funds will support global programs to counter
threats to U.S. security and foreign policy interests caused by TCOs, gangs, corruption, money
laundering, cybercrime, theft of intellectual property, drug abuse, trafficking of narcotics and wildlife, and
natural resource crimes around the world. In addition, funds will support the global International Law
Enforcement Academy (ILEA) and police peacekeeping programs. Funds will also support U.S. priorities
in key multilateral fora and promote INL’s institutional links with multilateral entities and international
organizations. Among other anti-crime priorities, these programs will focus on countering the synthetic
opioid crisis in the United States, addressing cybercrime, and tackling corruption. In addition, INL
programs will continue to promote WPS, counter GBV, and promote gender equality and empowerment.
The INCLE request will support INL’s contributions to the Department’s Air Wing, including an increase
toward the replacement of the Air Wing’s outdated aviation facilities to mitigate health and safety issues
and enable the continuation of aviation operations.
Funds will support technical assistance, training, resources, and knowledge for all INL’s domestic offices
and overseas sections. INL will employ a multi-disciplinary approach to identify and disseminate
evidence-based criminal justice sector practices, provide centralized support mechanisms for capacity
building, technical advisory services, monitoring and evaluation, and develop and share guidance on how
to design high-impact foreign assistance interventions. INL training uses expertise from U.S. federal,
state, and local criminal justice agencies. Resources requested for PD&S will meet INL’s administrative
costs for the planning, oversight, implementation, and monitoring of INCLE programs as well as for
evaluations and assessments. Consistent with the FY 2023 request, the budget consolidates PD&S
requirements in a global operating unit to allow for increased efficiencies and flexibility. The request for
PD&S includes an increase to meet rising operational costs, including the projected four percent wage
increases for Civil Service and Foreign Service employees over the next two years, and targeted
additional staffing to support priority programs.
Countering PRC Influence Fund (CPIF) ($70.0 million): CPIF resources will contribute to
maintaining an enduring competitive edge over the PRC in line with the National Security Strategy. CPIF
programming will support the Administration’s goals to increase the capacity and resilience of U.S.
partners and allies worldwide to deter aggression, coercion, and influence by the PRC and PRC-linked
actors. Funds will strengthen partner maritime security and governance; combat transnational money
laundering and cybercrime linked to PRC entities; and counter corruption and support criminal justice
sector institutions to reduce the ability of the PRC and PRC-linked actors to exploit vulnerabilities.
Prevention and Stabilization Fund (PSF) ($15.5 million): PSF funding will support the
implementation of the Global Fragility Act (GFA) through the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and
Promote Stability, in Haiti, Libya, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, and Coastal West Africa (Benin,
Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo). INCLE PSF funds will address fragility by combating
corruption, protecting human rights, reinforcing critical governance reforms, and developing criminal
justice and law enforcement capacity as part of an integrated, interagency, multi-account approach to
implement ten-year GFA country and regional strategies.
Enhancing Cooperation with Atlantic Partners ($10.0 million): The United States has interests and
challenges in common with Atlantic littoral nations on four continents and working toward common goals
will be an Administration priority. This request will support efforts to bring together nations bordering the
Atlantic to combat illegal activities at sea by promoting common approaches to maritime security and the
rule of law.
Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TIP) ($66.0 million): Human trafficking
threatens public safety and national security, robbing millions of their freedom, undermines the rule of
law, distorts global markets, and enriches transnational criminal and terrorist organizations. J/TIP Office’s
149
foreign assistance addresses this challenge via support for the “3Ps:”: prosecution, protection, and
prevention. Priorities for FY 2024 funding will be guided in large part by the findings of the annual TIP
Report, with the primary goal of assisting countries strategically and focusing where we will have the
most impact, especially in countries with the political will to meet the Trafficking Victims Protection
Act’s minimum standards for the elimination of human trafficking. Funds will advance the following
strategic resource themes: addressing the secondary effects of COVID-19, renewing and championing
human rights, protecting the world’s most marginalized and underrepresented communities, and restoring
U.S. leadership to combat human trafficking.

The FY 2024 Nonproliferation, Anti-Terrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) request of
$921.2 million will support a broad range of U.S. national interests through critical, security-related
programs that reduce threats posed by international terrorist activities; landmines, explosive remnants of
war (ERW) and stockpiles of excess conventional weapons and munitions; nuclear, radiological,
chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction (WMD); and other destabilizing weapons and
missiles, including Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS) and their associated technologies.
This request concentrates resources where they offer the most value and impact to U.S. national security
priorities and streamlines sub-accounts in order to promote greater cohesion within nonproliferation and
counterterrorism programming.
Nonproliferation Activities
The Voluntary Contribution to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) ($95.0 million):
U.S. efforts to bring Iran, Syria, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) into compliance
with their nuclear nonproliferation obligations – and to deter and detect noncompliance elsewhere – are
heavily dependent on IAEA verification activities. In addition to strengthening nuclear safeguards,
requested funds advance U.S. security interests by supporting programs that enhance nuclear safety and
security, and the responsible use of nuclear energy, and promote the peaceful uses of nuclear
technologies.

contribution.
The Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (NDF) ($20.0 million): NDF responds to global WMD
and destabilizing conventional weapons nonproliferation and disarmament opportunities, circumstances,
or conditions that are unanticipated or uniquely complex that other U.S. government programs are unable
to address. NDF develops, negotiates, and implements thoroughly vetted projects to destroy, secure, or
prevent the proliferation of materials, weapons, delivery systems, and related technologies. Funding will
enable NDF to continue to respond to the high demand for NDF’s expertise and authorities to rapidly
address malign global activities of Russia and the PRC, emerging WMD-enabling and WMD-like
technologies, biosecurity and biosafety, proliferation concerns related to the fall of Afghanistan’s
Democratically elected government, and continuing needs from Ukraine.
Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism (WMDT) ($11.5 million): WMDT leads Department efforts
to counter threats of non-state actor and terrorist groups by strengthening partner countries’ capabilities to
prevent, detect, deter, and respond to the development, smuggling, acquisition, and use of CBRNe
materials. WMDT support will build on training efforts such as WMD terrorism investigations,
clandestine labs, cyber-enabled investigations, tripwire identification, use of forensics, evidence
collection, risk mitigation through physical security, and strengthening legislative capabilities and
prosecutions. WMDT will explore programming against evolving terrorism threats involving unmanned
aerial systems, low-tech chemical and biological attacks, and enabling technologies. WMDT executes
multilateral programming that enables at-risk countries to exercise counter-WMD terrorism protocols,
share best practices, and improve international cooperation and burden-sharing against CBRNe terrorism
threats, including through the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism and the Global Partnership.
Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) ($89.9 million): EXBS protects U.S. national
security by building partner capacity to: prevent the proliferation of WMD, their delivery systems, and
destabilizing conventional weapons; detect, deter, and interdict illicit cross-border trade; impede diversion
of sensitive technologies for military end-use; disrupt exploitation of critical infrastructure, including
financial systems, commercial transportation, and critical ports of entry by malign state and non-state
actors; and secure foreign borders against risks that threaten U.S. citizens and interests. EXBS assistance
strengthens strategic trade control systems and improves the front-line and investigative capabilities of
border enforcement organizations. EXBS also counters malign activities of the PRC, Russia, DPRK, and
Iran and employs a data-driven threat prioritization tool to identify engagement partners, including
advanced technology suppliers and transit hubs.
• Of which, Countering People’s Republic of China Malign Influence Fund (CPIF) ($3.7 million):
NADR-EXBS funded CPIF will support capacity building to increase resilience to the PRC’s
coercive or exploitative economic practices that undermine partners’ national security interests
through activities that provide partners with trusted alternatives to PRC-developed technology
solutions; promote supply chain diversification for critical dual-use and emerging technologies;
develop and implement effective national security-focused investment screening and public
procurement mechanisms; provide assistance to develop, implement, and enforce technology transfer
and military catch-all controls as well as related industry and academic outreach; build the resilience
of ports facing increased levels of state-driven foreign investment; bolster proliferation financing and
other financial controls, including regulation of digital currencies; and provide investigative training
and tools to identify, detect, and interdict activities linked to PRC proliferation networks, including
PRC-affiliated companies.
152
The Global Threat Reduction Program (GTR) ($96.6 million): GTR implements innovative threat-
driven foreign capacity-building activities to prevent proliferator states and terrorists from developing,
proliferating, or using weapons of mass destruction (WMD) materials, equipment, expertise, related
delivery systems, and advanced conventional weapons (ACW) that threaten U.S. national security. GTR
priorities include countering the PRC’s pursuit of military advantage and Russia’s efforts to undermine
nonproliferation and international security actions; impeding proliferator state WMD programs,
irresponsible nuclear reactor deals, ballistic missile, and ACW programs; and preventing biological and
chemical weapons attacks by state and non-state actors.
• Of which, Countering People’s Republic of China Malign Influence Fund (CPIF) ($6.3 million): To
increase the capacity and resilience of U.S. partners and allies worldwide to deter aggression,
coercion, and influence by the government of the PRC and associated actors, NADR-GTR funded
CPIF activities will work with public and private sector stakeholders to counter PRC-supported cyber
threat actors; sensitize vulnerable public and private sector institutions to how PRC-directed
investments and joint research relationships compromise their intellectual sovereignty for the purpose
of developing action plans to implement sub-regulatory best practices; provide capacity-building
support to partner countries concerned about the malign influence of aggressive and irresponsible
PRC civil nuclear reactor and floating nuclear power plant deployments ; and sensitize vulnerable
public and private sector institutions to how PRC-directed promotion and intended operation of novel
reactors on land and sea erodes nuclear security and nonproliferation standards and creates
vulnerabilities on their territory.
Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) Coop ($9.0 million): The Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty
(NPT) Initiative will continue to support sustained international engagement that improves cooperation in
the application of nuclear science and technology for peaceful purposes to meet development needs.
These projects will draw additional resources and associated projects to developing countries, especially
those without an established safeguards agreement or an Additional Protocol and amplifies the link
between such cooperation and the Treaty’s core nonproliferation commitments. The Biological Weapons
Convention (BWC) Support Fund will provide annual voluntary contributions to a BWC Technical
Cooperation Fund for priority projects in areas such as treaty implementation and health security. This
tangible commitment to international cooperation will increase partner engagement and capacity. It will
also fund U.S.-directed support (via voluntary contributions, grants, or contracts) to augment the BWC
work program in priority areas and to strengthen UN operational readiness to investigate alleged
biological weapons use.
Antiterrorism Activities

PISCES systems for remote locations lacking infrastructure, while ensuring that the PISCES system
maintains standards in accordance with international norms.
Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA) ($274.2 million): ATA funds bolster front line states’ law enforcement
capabilities to counter al-Qa’ida, ISIS, Iran-backed groups, and other terrorist groups that threaten the
Unites States homeland as well as our people and facilities abroad. ATA programs provide bilateral and
regional training, consultations, equipment, infrastructure, mentoring, and advising to enhance partner
nations’ law enforcement capacity to counter threats within and across their borders within a rule of law
framework and with respects for human rights. This assistance will also support anti-money
laundering/countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) programs to build the capacity of partner
countries’ law enforcement to deter, detect, disrupt, dismantle, and prosecute those involved with terrorist
financing networks. ATA funds will support the Global Leadership Fund (GLF) to build international
counterterrorism coalitions, shape international counterterrorism norms, and bolster international political
will to address shared law enforcement challenges through the United Nations, Global Counterterrorism
Forum, NATO, the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law, and other multilateral and
regional organizations. U.S. multilateral engagement reinforces the need for states to adopt a
comprehensive approach to build law enforcement capacities, including through building broader criminal
justice frameworks, to counter terrorism within the rule of law and with respect for human rights. Funds
will also support the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund (CTPF). Funding will support efforts to ensure
the sustainability of successful CTPF programs; enhance law enforcement capacity to confront terrorist
recruitment and radicalization to violence; and bolster efforts to mitigate resilient and determined terrorist
threats. Programming will benefit assistance-eligible countries in focus regions, including Africa, the
Middle East, South and Central Asia, East Asia and the Pacific, South and Central America and the
Caribbean, and the Balkans. This assistance will also be used for program support, administration, and
monitoring and evaluations.
Regional Stability
Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) ($237.1 million): The CWD program will continue to
advance U.S. efforts to secure and combat the illicit proliferation of small arms and light weapons
(SA/LW), including Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems (MANPADS) and other advanced conventional
weapons systems, and to clear land contaminated with landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW).
CWD activities will mitigate security and public safety risks associated with excess, obsolete, unstable, or
poorly secured and maintained weapons and ammunition stockpiles, including MANPADS, by assisting
countries with destruction programs, improving physical security at storage facilities, and enhancing
stockpile management practices. CWD will also confront the dangers posed by landmines and other ERW
by surveying hazards, clearing landmines and ERW from affected areas, educating vulnerable
populations, and assisting ERW victims. CWD enduring priorities for FY 2024 will include continued
support for Ukraine to clear ERW in and near conflict zones, improving physical security and
management of Ukraine’s munitions storage facilities, and mitigating potential diversion of MANPADS
and other advanced conventional weapons by Russia, its proxies, and other non-state actors; improving
the security and safety of existing stockpiles and reducing excess, unstable, and poorly secured stockpiles,
including stockpiles of MANPADS, which threaten the life and property of U.S. citizens and U.S. allies
(particularly in Southeast Europe, Africa’s Sahel-Maghreb region, and in the Western Hemisphere,
including supporting the Roots Cause Strategy); continuing clearance of ERW to promote stability in
areas of key foreign policy concern, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria; continuing clearance of
U.S.-origin ERW in Southeast Asia and the Pacific; countering the PRC’s malign influence in Africa and
Asia through high-visibility, high-impact demining efforts; improving the resilience of communities
facing detrimental impacts from changing weather patterns by improving food security and assisting with
recovery from extreme weather events, such as persistent floods and drought; and reducing the threat of
154
illicitly held or at-risk MANPADS through safe and effective destruction efforts.
• Of which, Countering People’s Republic of China Malign Influence Fund (CPIF) ($15.0 million):
NADR-CWD-funded activities under the CPIF may include humanitarian demining, physical security
and stockpile management, or support MANPADS reduction. NADR-CWD funded CPIF activities
deter PRC aggression and influence by leveraging conventional weapons destruction programs and
ammunition storage capacity building to strengthen relationships with partner governments,
particularly those where it may otherwise be challenging to maintain a relationship. Stockpile
management and MANPAD reduction programs also promote a stable and open international system,
and humanitarian demining programs promote stabilization efforts and commerce, both of which
promote the independent economic wellbeing of allies and partners in contrast to the PRC’s debt-
laden assistance model.

Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) mission in the Sinai. The Request includes resources for
program management and monitoring and evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the programs and
employ lessons learned in out-year decision making. Decreases in the account are the result of cancelling
a program in South Sudan and adjusting levels of UN Assessed Expenses arrears for Somalia.
Africa ($260.6 million): Assistance focuses on the professionalization of African security forces and
building key capabilities for our African partners that enhance their ability to conduct CT operations in
East Africa and maritime security operations, support sustainment of CT capabilities in East and West
Africa, strengthen land and maritime borders, support capacity-building at African military education
institutions, counter strategic competitors, strengthen and reform security institutions, and contribute to
regional stability. PKO funds will support advisory assistance at the national, strategic, operational,
and/or tactical levels, as well as training, equipment, and infrastructure improvements. Funds will
continue long-term efforts to advance SSR to help ensure that forces are professional, accountable, and
capable of maintaining peace and security in a manner that respects human rights and is consistent with
international law. Bilateral PKO will support programs in Somalia. Regional PKO will fund the following
programs: Africa Conflict Stabilization and Border Security, Africa Military Education Program, Africa
Maritime Security Initiative, Africa Regional CT, Countering Strategic Competitors, and the Partnership
for Regional East Africa CT, as well as international peacekeeping activities in Somalia.
Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) ($24.0 million): Funds represent the U.S. contribution to
the MFO mission in the Sinai Peninsula, which supervises the implementation of the security provisions
of the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty – a fundamental element of regional stability. The MFO is a
cornerstone of U.S. efforts to advance a comprehensive and lasting peace between Israel and its neighbors
and is critical to protecting U.S. security interests in the Middle East. Funds will be used for MFO
operational expenses, matched equally by Israel and Egypt.
Prevention and Stabilization Fund (PSF) ($5.0 million): This funding will directly support the
implementation of the strategy under the 2019 Global Fragility Act (GFA) adopting a multi-pronged,
multi-sectoral approach to strengthen the resilience of partner nations and civil society to address fragility
challenges in countries at risk of or experiencing instability and conflict. PSF PKO will seek to bolster the
capacity of partner governments to conduct CT operations in support of stabilization efforts in fragile
states. This funding will also enhance security sector governance and SSR.
156
PM Bureau Centrally Managed ($130.9 million): FY 2024 PKO funds will be used to support the
following programs:
Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI) ($71.0 million): Funds will continue to strengthen the
effectiveness of UN and regional peace operations by enhancing partner countries’ capacities and
reinforcing UN and regional organizations’ performance and accountability frameworks. These efforts
promote international burden-sharing by reinforcing partner country capacity to generate, train, deploy,
and sustain peacekeepers, with a particular focus on enabling countries to more rapidly respond to
conflict-related crises worldwide. Activities will include training on protecting civilians in areas of armed
conflict and preventing sexual exploitation and abuse issues in peacekeeping. Funds will also support
additional efforts to promote women’s participation and gender integration in peace operations in
furtherance of the Administration’s WPS Strategy.
Trans-Sahara CT Partnership (TSCTP) ($33.4 million): Funds will continue support for TSCTP, an
interagency program designed to build the capacity and cooperation of governments across West and
North Africa to counter terrorism, in particular areas impacted by ISIS-West Africa, al-Qa’ida in the
Maghreb, and Boko Haram across the Sahel and Lake Chad Basin countries (including potentially the
littoral West African countries of Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Benin, and Togo). Funds will enhance the
military capacity of TSCTP partners to respond to current and emerging threats, with an emphasis on
border security, aerial mobility, military intelligence, logistics, institutional capacity, civil-military
operations, military information support operations, and countering improvised explosive devices. Funds
will support advisory and institutional reform assistance, infrastructure improvement, and other training
and equipment to ensure partners can sustain and logistically support the new CT capabilities being
developed.
Global Defense Reform Program (GDRP) ($18.0 million): The Request increases support for GDRP,
improving security sector governance and institutional capacity in select partner countries at the national,
ministerial, and/or service levels to enhance the ability of these countries to provide for their own defense
in an effective, transparent, and accountable way. Projects integrate principles of democratic governance,
and they align with cross-cutting strategic U.S. foreign policy priorities. Some projects support partner
countries in their efforts to mitigate civilian harm during military operations. Activities include advisory
support, workshops, training, instructor and/or curriculum development at partner military education
institutions and other related institutional reform support.
PKO Administrative Expenses ($8.5 million): Funds will support increasing PKO program
management requirements in the Africa region both in Washington and in the field. Funds will also
support program management for the PKO account as a whole both for the State Department’s Bureau of
Political-Military Affairs and at the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. This includes supporting
contract development, management of unliquidated PKO obligations, expenditures, and the overall
progression of programs implemented through contracts, DoD, and grants. Funds will also support an
online portal and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) requirements in the Africa region. In order to allow
more streamlined and less stove-piped program management and M&E efforts, these administrative costs
for all Africa PKO programs have been centralized. Program management and M&E efforts for GDRP
and GPOI are still funded through those programs.

The FY 2024 International Military Education and Training (IMET) Request of $125.4 million will
strengthen military alliances and international coalitions critical to U.S. national security goals and
regional stability. The IMET program supports professional military education (PME) and exposes
international military students (IMS) to U.S. culture, while developing their common understanding of
shared values and the benefits of U.S. partnership. This exchange in turn fosters the relationships
necessary to address a wide array of international security challenges. IMET programs also directly
improve defense capabilities through PME and training, including technical courses and specialized
instruction conducted at U.S. military schoolhouses or through mobile education and training teams
abroad. IMET-funded courses provide IMS with valuable training and education on U.S. military
practices and standards while exposing them to the concepts of democratic values and respect for
internationally recognized standards of human rights.
This Request concentrates resources where they offer the most value and impact to U.S. national security
priorities and focuses on maintaining bilateral programs for the highest-priority requirements. In addition,
the Request includes $7.0 million for IMET Administrative costs at several DoD school houses that focus
on Expanded IMET courses where we concentrate on human rights, rule of law, defense resources
management, and civil–military relations. The increase to the account overall supports important bilateral
investment increases, priority programming such as women’s participation, and accounts for increased
operational costs.

security by strengthening military support for key U.S. allies and partner governments so that they can
contribute to regional and global stability and counter transnational threats, including terrorism and
trafficking in narcotics, weapons, and persons. For FY 2024, the Request seeks funding for grant
assistance and loan authority, including both direct loans and loan guarantees. Loan authority will expand
the tools available to the United States to help Taiwan as well as NATO and Major Non-NATO allies
make larger investments in defense equipment and related services today, to meet the heightened level of
strategic competition. FMF helps facilitate strong military-to-military cooperation; build military
capabilities; promotes U.S. trade and economic interests; and enables greater interoperability of friends
and allies with U.S. military forces. Grant and loan assistance will continue to be planned in close
coordination with the Department of Defense (DoD), including enhancing efficiencies and ensuring
complementarity with DoD’s authorities for building the capacity of foreign security forces.
Africa ($6.0 million): FMF in Africa is requested for Djibouti. Funds will help bolster the bilateral
relationship with Djibouti and counter malign influences in the region – a top U.S. national security
priority. Funds will focus on professionalization of the military, including through professional military
education, technical training, English-language development, as well as provision, refurbishment and/or

and support for the Rapid Intervention Battalion. Funds may also support building logistics,
communications, engineering, and medical capabilities.
East Asia and Pacific ($129.0 million): Funds will support projects that advance a free, open, and
inclusive Indo-Pacific, through equipment and training that promotes the professionalization of armed
forces, including Coast Guards. FMF will help Indo-Pacific partners to monitor their maritime domain,
deter aggression, defend the freedom of navigation and overflight access, combat transnational crime,
and ensure the sustainable use of ocean resources. Funds will help expand the ability to patrol and prevent
illicit activities in these countries’ extensive maritime domain, including by providing sensors,
communications, and network equipment; undertaking training programs to enhance monitoring,
detection, and interdiction capabilities; as well as promoting institutional and security sector reform.
Programs will also increase capacity to respond to natural disasters and provide humanitarian assistance
for disaster response (HA/DR) activities. Programs will also bolster countries’ land border security
capacity. Priority recipients include Indonesia, Mongolia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, with
additional EAP Regional FMF available to target support for select capabilities where there is the greatest
need and where it will be most effective.
160
Europe and Eurasia ($352.0 million): As the regional landscape rapidly changes in large part due to
Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the strategic security priorities remain steadfast: to counter Russian
aggression and influence by bolstering allies’ and partners’ capabilities to exercise sovereignty and
defend their territorial integrity, provide for their own defense through improved interoperability with a
resolute NATO and other Western forces, the creation of force multipliers in the region, and the
implementation of sustainable defense reforms. Funds will support the provision of equipment and
training, including but not limited to tactical equipment for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance;
command and control; maritime domain awareness, cyber and information domain projects, and target
acquisition capabilities. Priority recipients include countries at significant risk from Russian aggression or
malign influence to include Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, with additional EUR
Regional FMF requested to target priority capabilities and needs throughout the region as new
requirements emerge. A portion of regional FMF may also be used to expand the European
Recapitalization Incentive Program (ERIP) if an appropriate candidate emerges, which emphasizes
burden-sharing by incentivizing U.S. grant military assistance for countries that commit national funds to
modernize their militaries and divest Russian equipment. The Department will work with DoD on
potential countries and proposals as funding priorities allow.
Near East ($5,283.8 million): The strategic security priorities in the Near East region are to counter
Iran’s malign influence; ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS, al-Qa’ida, and other terrorist groups; and to
develop and strengthen bilateral and multilateral security relationships. Building and enhancing lasting
security partnerships, such as those with Israel, Egypt, and Jordan, is critical to promoting regional
stability, collectively deterring aggression, and reducing threats to U.S. and partner interests in the region.
FMF will support training, advising, and materiel support that will assist the Iraqi Security Forces in
countering Iranian influence. The Request includes funding for the Tunisian armed forces, who remain on
the front lines of the fight against ISIS and other terrorist groups and the instability emanating from Libya
and serve as an important apolitical institution in Tunisian society. FMF will also seek to counter malign
Iranian influence through support to the Lebanese Armed Forces. Resources will support the sustainment
and modernization of Jordanian military capabilities, including acquisition of upgraded fighter aircraft.
South and Central Asia ($45.3 million): Regional funds will support projects that advance a free, open,
and inclusive Indo-Pacific, including FMF to enhance maritime security and domain awareness and
strengthen HA/DR, as well as related training. Funds may also strengthen partner capabilities to combat
transnational threats in South and Central Asia, such as terrorism and illicit trafficking; and promote
professionalization of partner security forces, to include security sector reform.
Western Hemisphere ($73.5 million): FMF will support partner efforts to secure and protect sovereign
territory; counter transnational organized crime and maritime threats; adopt internationally accepted
human rights norms; enhance interoperability with the United States; assist in security sector reform; and
engage in the region and beyond to advance stability and security. Through the provision of equipment,
training, and services, FMF will help these countries control their national territory and borders; identify,
track, and address transnational threats, such as illicit narcotics trafficking, which threatens the security of
our partners and drives irregular migration; and support defense modernization that enables strategic
partnering with the United Forces. The priority recipients include Colombia, Central America, including
Panama and Costa Rica, and Ecuador. In Central America, FMF will support the Administration’s Root
Causes Strategy by addressing gaps in maritime interdiction and domain awareness capabilities to
improve security.
FMF Administrative Expenses ($72.0 million): The Request supports the rising operating costs of
administering military sales, grants, loans, and other activities of security assistance offices overseas,
within DoD, and in the State Department Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. Such expenses include
161
monitoring and evaluation activities for FMF and International Military Education and Training
programs.
Countering People's Republic of China (PRC) Fund (CPIF) ($50.0 million): The CPIF will support
activities to increase the resilience of U.S. allies and partners to PRC coercion and influence. FMF-funded
CPIF activities will conduct capacity-building designed to prevent the exploitation of technology,
expertise, and critical infrastructure by the PRC, and may include direct grant support for the procurement
of equipment and services, training support, and the use of FMF as seed money to incentivize partners to
commit national funds to modernizing their militaries and divesting from PRC-provided equipment.
Ensuring coalition partners and allied governments are equipped and trained to work toward common
security goals and share the burden in joint missions will reduce opportunities for the PRC to coerce and
exert influence over partners, thereby promoting stability and security.
PM – Emerging Global Priorities ($113.0 million): The Budget creates a new global FMF line, which
will provide the Department with the flexibility to address emergent foreign policy priorities in the age of
heightened strategic competition. Priority partners could include those in the Indo-Pacific, including
Taiwan, in priority countries supporting Ukraine’s fight against Russia (particularly those looking to
diversify away from Russian equipment and influence) and to support regional stability in Africa and
NATO's southern flank, especially if Tunisia shows signs of a return to democratic governance. The
Request assumes $16.0 million as a baseline for the Indo-Pacific. Funds could also support loans and
other credit capacity-building measures, such as credit programs and other strategic initiatives, as needed
to leverage additional investments. Dedicated flexible funding is necessary to strengthen military
alliances and international coalitions critical to regional stability and core U.S. national security goals and
adapt to the spectrum of fiscal and defense needs across America’s most important security partners.

The Special Defense Acquisition Fund (SDAF) helps to expedite the procurement of defense articles for
provision to foreign nations and international organizations. The FY 2024 Request reflects $900.0 million
in renewed SDAF obligational authority, to be funded by offsetting collections. In FY 2024, offsetting
collections will be derived from SDAF sales of pre-purchased arms and equipment as well as other
receipts consistent with section 51(b) of the Arms Export Control Act. The FY 2024 Request will support
advance purchases of high-demand equipment that has long procurement lead times, which are often the
main limiting factor in our ability to provide partner and allied nations with critical equipment to make
them operationally effective in a timely manner. Improving the mechanism for supporting U.S. partners is
a high priority for both the Departments of State and Defense.

In FY 2022, the Department of the Treasury also made a $3.0 million grant to IDA, funded with American Rescue
Plan Act resources, to support COVID-response activities during the IDA-19 replenishment period.
The Administration’s FY 2024 Budget (the Budget) requests $4,037.4 million for the Treasury
Department’s International Programs. This request is a critical component of the Biden-Harris
Administration’s approach for restoring American global standing and leadership through our allies and
multilateral institutions, including the international financial institutions, and will help the United States
confront many of the global challenges that we face. These challenges include fully restoring global
economic growth, reducing poverty and preventing debt crises, modernizing health systems, enhancing
164
food and energy security, building resilience, championing quality and sustainable infrastructure, and
supporting vulnerable populations recovering from disaster and conflict.
If these challenges are not sufficiently addressed, they can have significant spillover effects on the United
States. This reinforces the need for a strong U.S.-led international finance system that can take decisive
action to provide financing, policy and technical support for quality infrastructure investment, adaptation
and resilience, energy innovation and diversification, and public health, which are all essential to
delivering on the goals of the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII). It is also
critical that these institutions and programs contribute to enhancing equity and fostering the inclusion of
disadvantaged and marginalized people in developing countries that have not adequately shared the
benefits of development, in the interest of political and economic stability.
The institutions and programs supported by this request target results across all of these areas and are
cost-effective means for the United States to advance its geostrategic interests. The International
Monetary Fund (IMF) supports international macroeconomic and financial stability, including in low-
income countries. By preventing and responding to economic and financial crises abroad, the IMF is
helping to minimize likelihood of potential negative spillovers to the United States. The World Bank,
regional development banks, multilateral funds, and Treasury’s bilateral technical assistance program
support economic development, food and energy security, and social inclusion, helping developing
countries attract and sustain private investment for quality infrastructure that will increase prosperity.
With U.S. leadership, these institutions and programs reflect and promote American values related to
good governance, transparency, and sound debt management.
Supporting economic prosperity overseas also brings benefits back home such as by expanding markets
for U.S. exports and leveling the playing field through increased transparency and competition, which
creates American jobs and bolsters the U.S. economy. Also, many of these international institutions
frequently partner with American companies in their programs, whether through consulting or project
design and execution. We are encouraging them to explore more opportunities to engage the private
sector in their work, to help expand the pipeline of quality development projects and the multiplier effect
of low-cost, sustainable public finance.
More broadly, Treasury is advocating for the evolution of the multilateral development bank (MDB)
system, to modernize and expand its work so that it can better address global challenges while also
enhancing delivery on poverty alleviation and sustainable and inclusive growth. This requires meeting our
foundational commitments to the MDBs and leading them toward new operational models to fully stretch
their available resources, including through new financing mechanisms that would result in a greater
amount of development finance at a lower cost. These efforts can foster high-quality infrastructure
investment and increased private capital mobilization for low- and middle-income countries, in line with
the goals and priorities of PGII.
In parallel, we need to make sure that other components of the international finance system are adequately
resourced to respond to global challenges, including infrastructure programs, environment and energy
funds, and agricultural and food security institutions. These serve as critical sources of finance to
incentivize and crowd in the public and private finance needed to lay a stable foundation for sustainable,
inclusive, and resilient growth and development. The programs Treasury is requesting funds for are
critical elements of the landscape for addressing global challenges.
U.S. contributions to these programs help to safeguard and improve the wellbeing of the American
people. For example, U.S. contributions to energy and clean technology funds enhance our energy
security by supporting international efforts to diversify energy systems and reduce dependence on
Russian producers, helping bring energy prices down in the long term. U.S. contributions to agricultural
165
funds not only promote global food security but also sustain the supply of food and natural resources from
overseas on which Americans depend. U.S. contributions to environment funds enhance global resilience
and mitigate the effects of climate change and reduce harmful chemicals in our air and water.
Treasury’s Office of Technical Assistance provides finance ministries, central banks, and other
government agencies in developing and transitional countries with specialized expertise, including
through the deployment of expert advisors, to enhance domestic revenue mobilization, improve financial
regulation, and combat financial crimes. In so doing, it helps create conditions for private sector-led
growth, including increased private sector investment in infrastructure.
The Budget requests $2.146.6 million for the multilateral development banks (MDBs). These institutions
play key roles in the effort to reduce poverty, increase economic growth, foster economic and social
inclusion, build resilience, and develop sustainable infrastructure. Annually, the MDBs invest
approximately $35 billion in quality infrastructure and support developing countries in mobilizing billions
more in private capital. They played a leading role in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
marshalling resources and experts quickly to help developing countries address the health and economic
impacts of the pandemic. They also assist developing countries in responding to the devastating effects of
Russia’s brutal war on Ukraine, by providing critical finance to sustain agriculture production and
manage the impact of sudden spikes in energy and food prices on the poor. Additionally, they provide an
alternative to low quality financing from malignant actors. These efforts by the MDBs help to advance
U.S. foreign policy objectives of sustaining peace and stability, promoting security, and protecting the
global environment.
Financing through multilateral institutions brings significant advantages to the United States and is an
effective way to stretch limited development dollars. Specifically, U.S. taxpayer contributions to the
MDBs catalyze contributions from other shareholders, the MDBs’ internally-generated resources, and
funding from capital markets to significantly increase the assistance levels that the MDBs provide. MDBs
offer a wide range of instruments, including grants, loans, guarantees, equity, insurance, and knowledge-
building products. This array of instruments can help de-risk and incentivize private sector investments
that support U.S. development priorities in emerging markets. The increased support the Administration
requests for the MDBs is critical for the United States to continue to assert its leadership in these
institutions.
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD): $233.3 million, including $206.5
million towards the fifth of up to six installments to subscribe to the U.S. share of the paid-in portion of
the IBRD 2018 general and selective capital increases and $26.8 million for the subsidy cost for IBRD
loan guarantees to support innovation and diversification in the energy sector. The Budget also requests a
program limitation to allow the United States to subscribe to $1.421 billion in callable capital.
International Development Association (IDA): $1,479.3 million in support of IDA programs over the
twentieth replenishment period (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2025), including support for a second payment to
the twentieth replenishment (IDA-20). The Administration also proposes legislative language to exempt
securities issued by IDA from regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This request is
included in the General Provisions found in the Department of State and Other International Programs
chapter of the FY 2024 President’s Budget Appendix.
166
African Development Bank (AfDB): $54.6 million for the fourth of eight installments to subscribe to the
U.S. share of the paid-in portion of the seventh general capital increase. The Budget also requests a
program limitation to allow the United States to subscribe to $856,174,624 in callable capital.
African Development Fund (AfDF): $224.0 million in support of AfDF programs over the sixteenth
replenishment period (AfDF-16; 2023–2025), including towards a first installment to AfDF-16, and of
which $27 million is to reduce unmet commitments to previous replenishments. The Administration also
requests authorization to subscribe to the AfDF-16 replenishment in the amount of $591 million.
Asian Development Bank (AsDB): $119.4 million in support of two new AsDB initiatives: $84 million
for the subsidy cost of $1 billion of loan guarantees to support the Innovative Finance Facility for Climate
in Asia and the Pacific, and $35 million for the Energy Transition Mechanism Partnership Trust Fund.
Asian Development Fund (AsDF): $107.2 million in support of AsDF programs over the twelfth
replenishment period (also known as AsDF-13, covering the period 2022–2025), including for payments
towards U.S. pledges for the twelfth replenishment, and of which $20 million is to reduce unmet
commitments to AsDF replenishments.
Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC, also referred to as IDB Invest): $75.0 million for an initial
subscription to a capital increase in the IIC, provided that the Inter-American Development Bank Group
has made satisfactory progress toward reforms which include increasing the Group’s responsiveness to
the development needs of Latin America and the Caribbean and promoting more effective and efficient
use of the Group’s financial resources. The Administration also requests authorization to subscribe to a
capital increase of up to 58,942 additional shares in the IIC.
The Budget requests authorization to enable the United States to lend up to $21.0 billion in resources
from Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund to the Resilience and Sustainability Trust (RST), and to the
Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRGT), the IMF’s concessional lending facility for low-income
countries. The specific division of lending between the RST and PRGT is yet to be determined. Treasury
also requests a five-year extension of authorization for the IMF New Arrangements to Borrow, to end on
December 31, 2030.
Quality Infrastructure
Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF): The Budget requests $40.0 million for a first-time contribution to
the GIF, a World Bank financial intermediary fund that provides funding and technical assistance to
design and structure high-quality infrastructure projects to attract MDB and private sector co-financing.
Clean Technology Fund (CTF): The Budget requests $425.0 million for a contribution to the CTF to
support developing countries’ adoption of clean technologies in energy and transportation. The CTF
complements the United States’ bilateral efforts to promote a just energy transition and deployment of
clean technology in targeted countries. Using $425 million for subsidy costs would enable a concessional
loan to the CTF with an estimated value of $1.23 billion.
Green Climate Fund (GCF): The Budget requests $1.6 billion for the GCF, of which $800 million is
through the Department of the Treasury and $800 million is through the Department of State. Established
in 2010, the GCF seeks to foster climate-resilient development and zero-emission investment by funding
167
activities across a variety of sectors, including transport; water and other infrastructure; energy generation
and efficiency; and land use, including agriculture and forestry. It uses a range of financial instruments to
support high impact projects and programs, mobilize private sector capital, and foster stronger policy
environments that better address the challenges of a changing climate.
Global Environment Facility (GEF): The Budget requests $150.2 million to cover the second installment
of our pledge to the GEF’s eighth replenishment (GEF-8) and $18.5 million to clear unmet commitments.
The GEF is a multilateral trust fund that provides mainly grant-based funding to assist developing and
transitional countries in addressing global environmental challenges in five focal areas: (1) biodiversity;
(2) chemicals and waste; (3) climate change; (4) land degradation (primarily deforestation and
desertification); and (5) international waters. The GEF is a global leader in promoting conservation of
terrestrial and marine habitats.
Resilient Development Trust Funds: The Budget requests $27.0 million for contributions to two MDB
trust funds – the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative (World Bank and Asian
Development Bank-supported) and the African Adaptation Benefits Fund (African Development Bank-
supported). These are focused on building resilience to natural disasters and extreme weather in
particularly vulnerable developing countries in the Pacific islands and sub-Saharan Africa.
Food Security
International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD): The Budget requests $81.8 million to support
IFAD programming during its twelfth replenishment period (2022–2024), including for the last of three
installment payments to the twelfth replenishment, a $35.0 million contribution to IFAD's Enhanced
Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP+), and a $3.8 million payment to eliminate
unmet commitments to prior IFAD replenishments.
Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP): The Budget requests $40.0 million for the
Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), a multi-donor trust fund dedicated to improving
food and nutrition security worldwide.
The Budget requests $67.0 million for bilateral debt restructuring and relief programs. This funding
would support the following initiatives:
G20 Common Framework for Debt Treatments beyond the Debt Service Sustainability Initiative (the
Common Framework), and Paris Club debt restructuring: The Budget requests $52 million for the
United States’ participation in debt restructuring and relief programs through the Paris Club and G20.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States has been participating in a G20 initiative that includes
China—the Common Framework, which helps low-income countries restructure their debts through a
multilateral framework. Given the rising debt burdens of many low-income countries, U.S. participation
in the Common Framework and the Paris Club proactively work toward longer-term sustainability for
low-income countries and avoid prolonged and costly debt crises.
Tropical Forest and Coral Reef Conservation Act (TFCCA): The Budget requests $15 million for the
TFCCA, which enables eligible developing countries with certain concessional debt owed to the United
States to redirect some of those payments to support conservation of their tropical forests and/or coral
reefs. Protecting biodiversity and combating climate change are central to U.S. national economic and
security interests. Conservation of tropical forests and coral reefs is critical to mitigating the impact of
climate change, providing clean water, and supporting sustainable jobs in developing countries.
168
Treasury International Assistance Programs
The Budget requests $50.0 million in additional resources to channel through international financial
institutions and other international organizations, and/or financial intermediary funds and trust funds
administered by the international financial institutions and other international organizations, to meet new
and emergent needs. Requested resources will be used to support U.S. strategic priorities in international
global macroeconomic and financial stability and international development, and to advance U.S.
strategic priorities and leadership, including countering the influence of malignant actors. Funding
provided through this account would enable the U.S. Treasury to implement innovative solutions to
address those needs in a timely manner.
The FY 2024 Budget requests $45.0 million for Treasury’s Office of Technical Assistance (OTA).
Funding will help ensure that OTA is able to respond quickly and sustainably to growing demand for
technical assistance from developing and transitional countries in areas that are priorities for the United
States. Such areas include supporting our national security agenda by combating terrorist financing and
financial crimes, helping countries fund and sustain their own development through improved domestic
resource mobilization and debt management, promoting financial stability, and creating the conditions for
private sector-led economic growth, including through increased investment in critical infrastructure and
climate-related or environmental projects.
The FY 2024 request for the International Organizations and Programs (IO&P) account of $485.9 million
will advance U.S. strategic goals across a broad spectrum of critical areas by supporting and enhancing
international coordination and leveraging resources provided by other countries. From this account, the
United States provides voluntary contributions to international organizations to advance U.S. strategic
objectives that require global solutions, such as protecting the environment and promoting sustainable
economic growth and development. Contributions through IO&P support U.S. humanitarian leadership,
advance democracy, rule of law, and human rights, and facilitates international standard setting that keeps
Americans safe and helps drive a dynamic, inclusive, innovative U.S. economy.
Highlights:
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) ($145.0 million): UNICEF, operating in 190 countries,
acts as a global champion for children and youth and strives to ensure the survival and well-being of
children and youth throughout the world. This contribution will support UNICEF’s core budget, which
directly provides vaccines, food, water, sanitation, and hygiene goods and services and contributes to
development and capacity building to help the world’s most disadvantaged and marginalized children and
youth.
United Nations Development Program (UNDP) ($81.6 million): UNDP is the primary development
agency of the UN, working in over 130 developing countries. UNDP’s work in promoting good
governance, poverty eradication, environmental sustainability, crisis prevention and recovery helps to
advance U.S. development priorities in these areas globally, including countries in fragile, crisis, and
transition situations where development is critical for breaking the cycle of fragility. UNDP also plays an
integral part in the global effort to sustain health systems, expand the social safety net, fight gender-based
violence, and maintain livelihoods.
169
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) ($57.5 million): UNFPA advances the U.S. government’s
strategic foreign policy goals to empower women, build democracy, and encourage broad-based
economic growth through advancing global health and human rights and expanding access to voluntary
family planning, reducing global maternal and child mortality, and preventing gender-based violence.
With programs in over 150 countries, UNFPA is the largest multilateral provider of family planning,
reproductive health, and maternal health services which are key elements of global health and contribute
to achieving the health and gender-related Sustainable Development Goals.
Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund ($64.0 million): The Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of
the Montreal Protocol (MLF) provides technical and financial assistance to help developing countries
meet their obligations to reduce the production and consumption of substances controlled by the Montreal
Protocol. The MLF is managed by an Executive Committee, a policy body where the United States and
Japan, as key donors, hold the only two permanent seats. The MLF has played a critical role in achieving
global participation and compliance in achieving the goals of the Montreal Protocol.

FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted is the same as the Enacted level for the EXIM Account.
The FY 2024 Budget estimates that the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) export credit
support will total $11.7 billion in lending activity and will be fully funded by receipts collected from the
EXIM’s users (except for the Office of Inspector General (OIG), which is funded by an appropriation).
EXIM’s receipts are expected to total $215.0 million, including funds set aside to cover the cost of the
agency’s credit programs in FY 2024. These funds, treated as offsetting collections, will be used to pay
$136.3 million for administrative expenses and $31.0 million in program budget. The FY 2024 request for
EXIM also includes $9.6 million for the expenses of the OIG. EXIM forecasts sending $47.7 million (i.e.,
negative subsidy) to the U.S. Treasury as receipts in excess of expenses.
EXIM is an independent executive agency and a wholly owned U.S. government corporation. As the
official export credit agency of the United States, EXIM supports U.S. exports by providing export
financing through loan, guarantee, and insurance programs where the private sector is unable or unwilling
to provide financing. By facilitating the financing of U.S. exports, EXIM helps U.S. companies support
and maintain U.S. jobs. EXIM, one of more than 110 export credit agencies around the globe, actively
helps level the playing field for businesses of all sizes in the competitive global marketplace.
EXIM’s FY 2024 Budget is estimated to support 66,000 U.S. jobs and advance the Biden
Administration’s priorities to support the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment and climate

FY 2023 Adjusted Enacted is the same as the Enacted level for the USTDA Account.
The FY 2024 request for the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) of $117.5 million will
strengthen the Agency’s ability to help companies create U.S. jobs through the export of U.S. goods and
services for priority infrastructure projects in emerging economies. USTDA links U.S. businesses to
export opportunities by funding project preparation activities – feasibility studies, technical assistance,
and pilot projects – and partnership-building activities, such as reverse trade missions, that create
sustainable and climate-smart infrastructure and foster economic growth in partner countries. In carrying
out its mission, USTDA prioritizes activities where there is a high likelihood for the export of U.S. goods
and services that can match the development needs of the Agency’s overseas partners.
Over the past three decades, USTDA has utilized its specialized experience and unique toolkit to generate
quantifiable results. In FY 2022, on average, USTDA’s activities generated $136 in U.S. exports for every
taxpayer dollar programmed. To maximize its return on appropriated funds, USTDA will prioritize
support for clean energy, transportation, digital, and healthcare infrastructure projects in developing and
middle-income countries around the world.
Across its programming, USTDA will continue to tackle global climate change and support energy
security while leveling the playing field for U.S. exporters in the Indo-Pacific; Latin America and the
Caribbean; Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and Eurasia; and sub-Saharan Africa regions, by:
• Providing critical project preparation assistance under the USTDA’s Global Partnership for Climate-
Smart Infrastructure. Launched by the Administration during the 2021 Leaders Summit on Climate,
this initiative is connecting U.S. industry to major clean energy and transportation infrastructure
projects in emerging economies;
• Positioning U.S. industry to win strategically important major infrastructure projects against Chinese
and other foreign government-supported competitors. USTDA engages at the most critical stages of
the project development cycle when design choices and technical options are being defined and
determined. The Agency leverages U.S. private sector expertise to define how projects will be
designed, financed, and implemented, which is crucial for creating a level playing field; and
• Supporting value-based procurement methods through the Global Procurement Initiative to increase
international competition, promote high-quality infrastructure and improve development outcomes.
The FY 2024 budget request proposes an increase of $30.5 million over the FY 2023 enacted level. These
appropriated funds will enable USTDA to advance foreign policy priorities including the Partnership for
Global Infrastructure and Investment, Digital Transformation with Africa, and outcompeting China in the
Indo-Pacific.
172
Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment:
The FY 2024 budget request will enable USTDA to prepare infrastructure projects for our interagency
partners as well as U.S., international and multilateral financial institutions, in support of the
Administration’s goal to mobilize $200 billion for PGII over the next five years. USTDA support will
include technical and financial analysis, project risk mitigation, environmental and social impact
assessments, and partnering with financiers to ensure that projects that are bankable move toward
implementation. USTDA’s budget request is estimated to leverage $3.6 billion in private sector
financing.
USTDA intends to fund digital infrastructure development activities through the recently announced
Digital Transformation with Africa Initiative (DTA). DTA is designed to expand affordable and inclusive
digital access and connectivity, create needed jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities, and foster an
enabling regulatory environment to promote the uptake of digital products and services on the African
continent. Through DTA, USTDA will help lead U.S. government efforts to engage industry and deploy
U.S. digital solutions that meet the needs of our African partners.
USTDA will advance the U.S. government’s Indo-Pacific Strategy by coordinating with regional partners
and funding infrastructure development activities in support of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework,
the Pacific Islands Strategic Infrastructure Initiative, and other regional priorities. The budget request also
includes direction to increase funding for digital and climate programming by $8 million, respectively.
USTDA will continue to work closely with our regional allies and partners to promote a free and open
Indo-Pacific that is more connected, prosperous, secure, and resilient, creating modern and high-quality
infrastructure solutions.

The FY2024 President’s Budget separately proposes a $2.0 billion mandatory appropriation to DFC’s Corporate
Capital Account that will operate a revolving fund for equity investments. The revolving fund will use the initial $2.0
billion funding to make investments and then reinvest any returns into new projects on a self-financing, revolving
basis. As proposed, this amount would not require funds from the annual appropriation process.
The Biden Administration and Congress have given the U.S. International Development Finance
Corporation (DFC) a dual mandate: to make highly developmental investments around the world with a
focus on communities most in need, and to advance the foreign policy interests of the United States. DFC
works with the private sector to respond to some of the world’s greatest challenges, from supporting
energy security to promoting resilient health systems, from bolstering food security and agriculture to
advancing large infrastructure projects. The agency also supports small businesses which drive economic
growth and financial inclusion. Through these efforts, DFC reduces partner nations’ dependence on
authoritarian regimes by offering a viable alternative to our strategic competitors and advancing critical
foreign policy objectives. To scale the agency and its work at the ambitious pace called for by the Biden
Administration and Congress, DFC needs the resources to execute at a level that exceeds its current
capacities.
For FY 2024, DFC requests a budget of $1.023 billion, consisting of $780 million in program funds and
$243 million in administrative expenses. The $780 million in program funds will be flexibly allocated
across all of DFC’s financial products, such as loans, equity, and technical assistance. This level of
resources is required to tackle the complex challenges with which the President and Congress have tasked
DFC – particularly delivering quality, sustainable infrastructure under the Partnership for Global
Infrastructure Investment (PGII) and responding more effectively to the challenge posed by strategic
competitors.
174
Program Budget and Priorities
The FY 2024 program budget request of $780 million will enable DFC to grow its portfolio by addressing
the significant unmet financing needs in priority sectors and regions that align with United States
development and foreign policy objectives. DFC’s budget request will allow the agency to continue
working in coordination with the private sector, the Department of State (State), the United States Agency
for International Development (USAID), the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and others to
advance core DFC and Administration priorities:
• Infrastructure: DFC is using its investment tools to help expand access to high-quality
infrastructure. The agency will continue to support transportation infrastructure such as roads,
ports, and airports. It is committed to expanding its digital infrastructure investments providing
affordable, reliable, and trusted technologies.
• Energy Access, Security, and Diversification: Alongside the private sector, DFC financing
supports the provision of reliable and secure sources of energy across the developing world.
Investments may include nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, fossil fuels, and green
hydrogen. The agency looks to support a clean energy future consistent with the Administration’s
priorities. DFC will also work to improve supply chains, including in those sectors, like critical
minerals, dominated by strategic competitors.
• Health and Health Security: Lack of access to healthcare prevents many in developing
countries from receiving needed medical care, in turn preventing them from reaching their full
potential. DFC is committed to creating a healthier world by investing in projects that improve
pandemic preparedness and health system resilience, including investments in health services and
infrastructure, health commodity manufacturing and supply chain, and digital health.
• Food Security and Agriculture: With the war in Ukraine and climate change driving global
spikes in basic food prices, DFC is mobilizing financing for smallholder farmers, rural
communities, agricultural inputs, storage and transport, and processing. DFC is committed to
reducing food insecurity by investing in agricultural productivity and increasing yields.
• Financial Inclusion and Small Businesses: DFC is committed to supporting economic growth
in underserved communities and investing in small businesses with a focus on support for
women. Small businesses are the economic engine of many developing nations and play a critical
role in providing stability and the agency is committed to continuing to support them.
• The budget also proposes $2 billion in mandatory appropriations for additional equity
investments, as part of the broad “Out-Compete China” Initiative to provide the agency with
additional resources to support a viable alternative to strategic competitors’ investments. This
appropriation will be structured as a revolving fund on a cash basis to allow DFC to reinvest any
realized returns from its initial investments. This would move the budgetary impact of this equity
program outside of the annual appropriations process.
DFC’s FY 2024 discretionary program request of $780M will continue for DFC’s broader program,
including equity. The challenges and scale posed by the Out-Compete China Initiative are such that it
calls for its own legislation and funding.
175
Administrative Budget
DFC requests $243 million for FY 2024 administrative expenses. This request will primarily support
increased staffing and other support costs needed to advance the agency’s development and strategic
foreign policy goals across key sectors. DFC will use the administrative budget to implement innovative
and impact-driven programs and partnerships, to foster an effective and efficient organization, and to
maintain a fiscally responsible agency. The increase over FY 2023 funding will support expanding DFC’s
overseas presence to better source quality and impactful projects in local markets; increasing underwriting
capacity to grow DFC’s portfolio; improving monitoring and evaluation of our developmental impact;
and scaling mission support functions to meet staff and mandate growth.
DFC will use administrative resources to attract and retain the skilled and diverse personnel needed to
achieve its development and foreign policy objectives. DFC will create a productive and positive work
environment by providing training necessary to develop the requisite skills, knowledge, and cultural
competencies to accomplish present and future mission objectives. DFC will direct administrative
resources toward expanding stakeholder engagement and increasing the number of women and minority-
owned U.S. businesses that receive agency project support and financing. Administrative resources will
enable the Corporation to strengthen management and oversight structures for complex and higher risk
transactions, ensuring DFC can identify risks, pursue opportunities, make prudent decisions, monitor
results, and maximize the foreign policy and developmental value of its portfolio.
Due to the size and complexity of DFC’s portfolio and its expanded development mandate, DFC requires
its own Office of Inspector General (OIG). DFC OIG was created by the same legislation that created
DFC, the Better Utilization of Investments Leading to Development Act of 2018 (BUILD Act), and
derives its authority from the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended (IG Act). The OIG’s mission is
to prevent, detect, and deter fraud, waste, and abuse in DFC’s programs and operations. The OIG
accomplishes its mission by conducting and supervising audits, investigations, inspections, and
evaluations of DFC’s investments, projects, systems, employees, and contractors. The OIG’s work is
designed to promote the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of DFC’s programs and operations.
The IG Act requires DFC OIG to maintain operational and administrative independence from DFC. With
that in mind, the OIG will continue to prioritize hiring in FY 2024. At the close of FY 2023, the OIG will
have 13 full-time equivalents (FTEs), which includes a team of experienced audit, investigative, legal,
and support staff to oversee DFC’s exposure, which is capped at $60 billion.
DFC OIG requests $7.2 million to fully fund the ability to accomplish its mission to ensure effective
oversight of DFC in FY 2024, which is also the amount proposed in the President’s FY 2024 budget. To
support FY 2024 oversight activities and build a robust OIG function for DFC, the OIG will mobilize an
Inspections and Evaluations (I&E) team to assess 10-12 DFC-funded projects around the world. OIG
strongly believes the I&E program is essential to oversee and provide timely status of project progress
and development impact as DFC’s portfolio continues to grow. The I&E program will also provide
immediate, real-time input regarding project status as well as determine efficiency, effectiveness, impact,
and sustainability of DFC operations and programs. The OIG will make recommendations for
improvement and identify where administrative action might be necessary. To support this effort, the
OIG plans to hire an additional nine FTEs in FY 2024 including auditor/evaluators, investigators,
investigative analysts, a data scientist, an attorney, and office operations support staff. This growth will
permit the OIG to have “boots on the ground” to conduct inspections and evaluations of DFC projects and
report on the impact of DFC investments. The OIG’s request for $7.2 million includes $3.9 million to
cover wages, allowing an increase in the workforce to a total of 22 experienced FTEs excluding
176
interns. To ensure OIG work complies with oversight standards, the request also includes $0.25 million
for the mandatory contribution to the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency
(CIGIE).
OIG mandatory and performance audits include but are not limited to, financial statements, Federal
Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA), Payment Integrity Information Act, DFC’s
implementation of the BUILD Act, DFC-funded microfinance and renewable energy investments in India,
and legislative request to follow up on DFC’s compliance with appropriations. OIG investigations of
alleged fraud, corruption, and inappropriate conduct have been vital, resulting in recovery of assets and
prosecutorial interest. The OIG also has published Top Management Challenges, Semiannual Reports to
Congress, and conducted reviews in response to congressional interest.
177
DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND USAID OUT-COMPETE CHINA
MANDATORY BUDGET AUTHORITY
During these unprecedented and extraordinary times, the Budget requests both discretionary and
mandatory resources to out-compete China and advance American prosperity globally. The Out-Compete
mandatory proposal will strengthen the U.S. role in the Indo-Pacific and advance the U.S. economy by
investing $2 billion over five years to support “hard” critical international infrastructure through the
Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment (PGII); and $2 billion over five years to bolster Indo-
Pacific economies through economic competitiveness and secure and resilient supply chains in support of
the Indo-Pacific Strategy. This international infrastructure funding and funding for the implementation of
the IPS will help strengthen our alliances across the globe, unleash the economic potential of our partners,
build economic opportunities for U.S. businesses, and advance our own vision for prosperous, open,
transparent, and rules-based societies. These funds would be appropriated to State and USAID, with
transfer authorities to other departments and agencies as outlined below. As part of this mandatory
proposal, the President’s Budget also requests over $7.1 billion to amend and extend economic provisions
of the Compacts of Free Association with the Freely Associated States (FAS) of the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. The proposal also
includes $2.0 billion for a new revolving fund for U.S. Development Finance Corporation (DFC) equity
investments.
The PRC is the geopolitical challenge of our era – one that will test American diplomacy like few in
recent memory. To truly “invest, align, compete” we need to demonstrate to partner nations around the
globe that our commitment to support them is unwavering. Mandatory funding will demonstrate
sustained, long-term U.S. commitment to partners and ensure that these necessarily long-term investments
have a reliable, consistent source of funding. These are new and innovative funding streams that are not
currently funded with our discretionary resources and will allow us to work in critical sectors where we
have seen requests for assistance from our partners and allies far outstrip our ability to provide.
1
In addition to amounts here, the FY 2024 President’s Budget includes mandatory funding for the Development
Finance Corporation and the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission, as part of a broader proposal to outcompete China
globally.
178
billion in economic assistance and $634 million for continued U.S. Postal Service (USPS) services to the
FAS, for a total of over $7.1 billion over the 20-year period. The proposal requests a mandatory
appropriation at the Department of State (State), as well as language allowing for continued
implementation of agreements relating to the COFA at the Department of the Interior (Interior) and
payments to the Postal Service Fund. A full legislative proposal will be transmitted upon completion of
the Compact related negotiation process.
International Infrastructure ($2.0 billion):
The request includes $2 billion in mandatory spending over five years to establish an International
Infrastructure Fund that will advance strategic “hard” infrastructure projects, particularly for projects that
align with U.S. strategic interests in countries that are vulnerable to malign influence by strategic
competitors. Such projects could include: ports and other transportation projects, energy diversification,
information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure cable assets; mobile and wireless
networks; subsea cables and landing stations. These projects will advance quality infrastructure that is
fairly and transparently financed, while providing opportunities for the U.S.G. and U.S. companies to
better meet the infrastructure needs of low- and middle-income countries around the world. Of this
funding, at least $200 million will be transferred to the Millennium Challenge Corporation. Additional
funds may be transferred to other implementing agencies such as the Development Finance Corporation
(DFC), EXIM, or the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), as appropriate.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission) is an independent, nonpartisan Federal agency
with broad investigative responsibilities on matters of trade. In accordance with its statutory mandate, the
Commission investigates and makes determinations in proceedings involving imports claimed to injure a
domestic industry or violate U.S. intellectual property rights; provides independent analysis and
information on tariffs, trade, and competitiveness; and maintains the U.S. tariff schedule. For FY 2024,
the Commission requests an appropriation of $131.0 million to support its authorized operations. Pursuant
to section 175 of the Trade Act of 1974, the budget estimates for the Commission are transmitted to
Congress without revision by the President.
180
FOREIGN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT COMMISSION
The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission (FCSC) is a quasi-judicial, independent agency within the
Department of Justice. Its principal mission is to adjudicate claims of U.S. nationals against foreign
governments, under specific jurisdiction conferred by Congress, pursuant to international claims
settlement agreements, or at the request of the Secretary of State.
The FY 2024 request for FCSC provides $2.6 million to continue evaluating claims of U.S. nationals
against foreign governments under claims settlement agreements, as well as maintaining the decisions and
records of past claims programs and continue building and modernizing both current and past claims
programs records by creating and updating the relevant databases.
