In present times, improving the lives of others has become central to our national security. The locus of threats has shifted to the developing world, where poverty, injustice and indifference are exploited by our foes to provide haven for criminals and terrorists and the planning of criminal acts. Our nation's security depends on the stability of other nations. Foreign assistance and the development it supports are therefore more important than ever, now not just in terms of our moral responsibility to alleviate suffering, but as foundational pillars of our new national security architecture and the Global War on Terror (GWOT). American diplomacy must integrate and advance our security interests, our development efforts, and our democratic ideals. American foreign assistance must support these efforts by promoting responsible sovereignty, not permanent dependency, as it seeks to meet the needs of poor and vulnerable populations. Commensurate with the global challenges that our country faces, this Administration has sought significant innovations and increases in funding for foreign assistance, while maintaining our support for our key partners in the Global War on Terror. The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Malaria and Africa Education initiatives; the establishment of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC); and efforts to promote and strengthen trade capacity and effective democracies have only solidified the United States as the world leader in championing human dignity and human potential. These increased resources, however, have also come with a new focus on performance, results, accountability, and, ultimately, a means to define success as the ability of a nation to graduate from development assistance and become a self-sustaining partner in international peace and prosperity. In support of this effort, the FY 2008 Foreign Operations request is $20.3 billion, representing a 12 percent increase over the FY 2006 enacted budget.1 Foreign Assistance Reform Under Secretary Rice's leadership, the United States has reformed its organization, planning and implementation of foreign assistance in order to maximize the impact of our foreign assistance dollars to achieve U.S. foreign policy objectives and improve the lives of those around the world. New leadership has been established with the creation of a Director of United States Foreign Assistance, who serves concurrently as the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). In this capacity, the Director of Foreign Assistance has developed a new Strategic Framework for U.S. Foreign Assistance, within which the Department of State and USAID are developing a fully integrated process for foreign assistance policy, planning, budgeting, and implementation. For the first time in our nation's history, all $20.3 billion of U.S. foreign assistance under authority of the Department of State and USAID, as well as resources provided by MCC, are being applied to the achievement of a single overarching goal--transformational diplomacy: To help build and sustain democratic, well-governed states that respond to the needs of their people, reduce widespread poverty and conduct themselves responsibly in the international system. 1 Throughout the analysis described in this document, comparisons are made between FY 2006 enacted and FY2008 Foreign Assistance request levels. The analysis includes Foreign Assistance program funds only, and excludes such things as USAID OE, and requests for international financial institutions and independent agencies. 5 The new Strategic Framework for U.S. Foreign Assistance, included for reference at page 13, articulates a strategy for achieving this goal, focusing on five objectives that together address the underlying causes of persistent poverty, despotic governance, insecurity, and economic stagnation: Peace and Security: These are necessary conditions for further political, economic, and social progress; Governing Justly and Democratically: Effective, accountable, democratic governance is a vital foundation for sustainable progress; Investing in People: Human capacity must be strengthened and poverty and disease addressed in order to promote and sustain success; Economic Growth: Economic progress and poverty reduction are critical underpinnings of sustainable development; and Humanitarian Assistance: The United States maintains its long-standing commitment to alleviate human suffering and respond to destabilizing humanitarian disasters. The FY 2008 budget is focused, strategic, and prioritized to these shared objectives. In addition, the Department of State and USAID have jointly developed common definitions and indicators to describe, account for, and evaluate our foreign assistance programs and their impact in achieving the objectives of the strategy. A new budget and performance tracking system will house budget and planning data that will allow us to track objectives to programs, dollars, and results. Performance evaluations will allow us to further refine and focus our foreign assistance dollars. Strategic Principles Consistent with the reform of foreign assistance, the Department of State and USAID are presenting a unified foreign assistance budget request for FY 2008 based on the following strategic principles: 1. Integrate planning based on the totality of U.S. Government resources. The fragmentation of foreign assistance across multiple agencies, offices, and bureaus risked uncoordinated strategies, inadequate accountability, and the misdirection of resources. In building the FY 2008 budget, planning was integrated, seeking the most complete picture of U.S. activities and programs by country and region. To that end, interagency teams were assembled and tasked with ensuring that resources were coordinated, mutually supportive, targeted to the achievement of shared objectives, and able to maximize existing U.S investments. For FY 2008, these resources included all programs and activities under the authority of the Secretary of State, in coordination with resources managed by the MCC. 2. Maximize country progress. The new Strategic Framework for U.S. Foreign Assistance categorizes each country receiving U.S. foreign assistance based on common traits, and places them on a trajectory to achieve the transformational diplomacy goal. The FY 2008 request reflects a focus on the specific gaps and obstacles countries face in moving from one country category to another, and identifying the target objective or objectives appropriate to the individual country context. The ultimate intent is to support recipient country efforts to move from a relationship defined by dependence on traditional foreign assistance to one defined by full sustaining partnership status. Chart 1 identifies the concentration of resources by country category and objective, including resources from across State and USAID and projected disbursements from the MCC, with outlined cells denoting assistance priorities and the proportion of FY 2008 foreign assistance resources devoted to each cell. 6 Chart 1: FY 2008 Concentration of Resources by Country Category and Objective 2008 Country Category by Objective Including Projected FY 2008 MCC Disbursements Peace and Security Governing Justly and Democratically Investing in People Economic Growth Humantarian Assistance Rebuilding 35% 18% 16% 20% 11% Developing 34% 6% 40% 18% 1% Transforming 6% 3% 52% 38% 0% Sustaining 76% 1% 21% 1% 0% Restricted 2% 13% 16% 63% 12% 3% 16% 36% 34% 8% 38% 7% 11% 1% 41% Regional Global Rebuilding States are countries in or emerging from internal or external conflict. In these countries, a critical priority is achieving the security conditions that provide a platform for social, economic, and political progress. At the same time, support for basic human needs, the establishment of institutions of government and foundations for economic growth are also necessary for securing peace and stability. Accordingly, in FY 2008, 35 percent of resources in this category are targeted to achieving peace and security, with a relatively even distribution of funds across the other four objectives. Developing States are low or lower-middle income countries, not yet meeting performance criteria related to effective and democratic governance, investments in people, and economic freedom. Poverty, governance, and human capacity are the greatest barriers to progress. Collectively, in FY 2008 these programs account for 64 percent of the resources for this category of countries, compared to 58 percent in FY 2006. Note that in those countries where continued progress and partnership on security issues are critical to success in the Global War on Terror, investments in security programs remain significant. Transforming States are low or lower-middle income countries, meeting performance criteria related to effective and democratic governance, investments in people, and economic freedom. Transforming countries are characterized by relative stability and well-functioning governments, but poverty, unchecked disease, and human capacity remain barriers to progress. Appropriately, therefore, 90 percent of FY 2008 resources, including those provided by the MCC, are concentrated in activities such as health, education, poverty alleviation and economic growth. Sustaining Partnership States are those countries at upper-middle income levels or greater for which targeted U.S. support is provided to sustain partnerships, progress, and peace. Income levels in these states are such that in general, development assistance is not required. Our largest investment in these states is in security, supporting programs that improve military interoperability with the U.S., NATO, and regional coalitions; strengthen military alliances and the international coalition against terrorism; and promote more professional militaries through education and training. In FY 2008, 76 percent of resources to these countries are targeted to programs under the peace and security objective. An exception is South Africa, where the HIV/AIDS epidemic 7 threatens progress, and for which the U.S. provides assistance through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Restrictive States are those with significant freedom and human rights issues; therefore, resources are prioritized for programs that foster effective democracy, build civil society capacity, and promote responsible sovereignty. Legislative restrictions on direct U.S. funding and limited absorptive capacity in many of these countries also limit the amount and type of foreign assistance support. In FY 2008, 63 percent of resources for Restrictive countries are targeted to programs under the governing justly and democratically objective, compared with 28 percent in FY 2006. 3. Invest in states critical to long-term regional stability and prosperity. State and USAID resources are concentrated in Rebuilding and Developing countries, at 51 percent of program assistance. These countries are farthest away from the transformational diplomacy goal; as measured by instability, poverty, human capacity, life expectancy, governance, and barriers to economic growth; and are critical barriers to regional stability and success in the Global War on Terror. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Colombia, Haiti, and Kosovo are examples of states that, without progress, will have a negative impact on regional stability and national security. Additionally, with continued progress, Developing states such as Nigeria, Ukraine, Georgia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Indonesia and Sustaining Partnership countries like South Africa and Egypt represent those that can serve as anchors for regional stability and prosperity. 4. Focus on demand-driven interventions that are critical levers for sustainable progress and transformation. The country-driven process resulted in significant allocation increases for critical and effective programs. Funding was increased to programs targeted to improving governance and democratic participation; mitigating diseases that threaten the human and economic capacity of countries to progress on their own; expanding access to and improving the quality of education; and enhancing economic opportunity and skills to participate in the global economy. Together, in FY 2008, the three objectives targeted to achieving long-term development progress (Governing Justly and Democratically, Investing in People, and Economic Growth) increase by 14 percent over FY 2006 levels for these Objectives. When projected FY 2008 MCC disbursements are considered, investments in these objectives increased by 24 percent over FY 2006. Chart 2 below describes this focus.

Allocate funds intended for country programs to country-level budgets. In order to ensure a coordinated response and effective and sustainable impact, the reform process sought to maximize all resources implemented at the country level within country budgets. Resources within global or regional budgets allocated to specific countries were accordingly shifted to specific country programs and planned together with other country-based support. Recognizing that not all foreign assistance is implemented on a country basis, and that some issues such as trade capacity are best addressed as part of a global or regional strategy, the foreign assistance framework includes a category for global and regional initiatives, defined as those activities that transcend a single country's borders. Such activities may include emergency humanitarian assistance, support to regional institutions, multilateral organizations, or research. 6. Match accounts with the country circumstances and intent they are designed to address. The reform process sought to maximize the use of account authorities in support of effective implementation of foreign assistance programs. Overall, funding for Development Assistance which is intended to support poor countries that demonstrate performance has been prioritized to Developing and Transforming countries. Conversely, Economic Support Funds (ESF) which focus on providing economic support under special economic, political, or security conditions has been prioritized to support activities in the Rebuilding and Restrictive Country Categories. In these later country categories, total funding in the three Objectives supporting long-term development increased by 63% over FY 2006 levels. However, the balance between DA and ESF changed with DA declining by 87% and ESF increasing by 158%.

The FY 2008 request for Africa represents a 41 percent increase over FY 2006. Including actual disbursements and projected FY 2008 disbursements from the MCC, resources for Africa have quadrupled from 2001-2008. The request prioritizes interventions critical to achieving sustainable progress and transformation on a country-by-country basis. Over 73 percent of the FY 2008 budget will focus on Investing in People in order to address the crippling effects of disease and poverty, a $2 billion increase from FY 2006. Programs to address HIV/AIDS, malaria, children's health, and expanded access to quality education predominate within this objective. Programs to support economic growth comprise 10 percent of the request for the region. When MCC disbursements are considered, FY 2008 resources for economic growth in the region increase by 43 percent over FY 2006. The FY 2008 request for Africa also includes additional resources for anti-corruption programs (a 93 percent increase over FY 2006) and for critical security programs in support of the Global War on Terror (38 percent increase over FY 2006). 9 The FY 2008 budget for Africa also targets funding for states critical to long-term regional stability and prosperity. The FY 2008 request for Sudan is $679 million, a 36 percent increase over FY 2006 and 12 percent of the region's total budget request. In addition to Sudan, other rebuilding states such as Liberia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Somalia were given priority. Budgets for Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria also increased, as progress in these countries will greatly impact progress and prosperity in the region. These eight countries make up over 56 percent of the FY 2008 budget. East Asia and the Pacific. The FY 2008 request for the East Asia and Pacific region represents a slight increase over the FY 2006 budget. With projected FY 2008 MCC disbursements included, proposed FY 2008 funding increases by 15 percent over FY 2006. Democratic challenges and terrorist threats require that peace and security programs emphasize counterterrorism and conflict mitigation while also maintaining military assistance for key Global War on Terror partners. Resources for these types of key security programs make up 18 percent of the request. Within Investing in People, the request increases 15 percent from FY 2006, prioritizing HIV/AIDS interventions and education initiatives, increasing 71 percent and 25 percent respectively over FY 2006 levels for these activities. Countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and Mongolia collectively receive 53 percent of the region's request. Regionally, governing justly and democratically efforts are also prioritized in order to promote movement toward democracy in Burma and Vietnam, and strengthen democratic institutions in Cambodia and the Philippines. Europe and Eurasia. The FY 2008 request for Europe and Eurasia represents a 26 percent decrease from FY 2006 reflecting success achieved in the region. When projected FY 2008 MCC disbursements in Georgia and Armenia are included, the reduction is 13 percent from FY 2006. While U.S. assistance has played a substantial role in supporting reform in Eurasia furthering the integration of countries in Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans into Euro-Atlantic institutions, a number of difficult challenges remain across the range of foreign assistance objectives. The allocation of resources within the region reflects the need to secure the Balkans in the Euro-Atlantic Community, support Eurasian countries at the forefront of reform, and confront democratic challenges. Thus funding for Peace and Security and Governing Justly and Democratically collectively represent 76 percent of the request. Balkan peace implementation is a primary focus; funds for Kosovo and Serbia represent 27 percent of the region's request. Countries at the forefront of reform -- Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova -- and countries that present democratic challenges -Russia and Belarus -- together represent 30 percent of the region's budget. Near East. The FY 2008 request for the Near East represents a 4 percent increase over FY 2006, including reduced levels for Egypt and Israel under glidepath agreements. The Near East region presents both challenges and opportunities to implement U.S. objectives and bolster efforts at political and economic reform to achieve success in the Global War on Terror. The FY 2008 request emphasizes continued investments in Peace and Security and political reform. Accordingly, funding for Peace and Security increase by 4 percent, while investments in Governing Justly and Democratically increase by more than 80 percent. To address social conditions that contribute to conflict, the FY 2008 request includes a 41 percent increase in Investing in People, primarily in health and education. The FY 2008 request is concentrated in the priority states of Iraq, Israel, Egypt and Jordan, representing 93 percent of the region's budget. The FY 2008 request is also influenced by adjustments to priorities based on significant changes in political conditions in Lebanon, West Bank/Gaza and Iran. Lebanon receives a 21 percent increase with large increases in peace and security investments, governance and democracy programs, as well as support for economic growth. 10 Together these seven countries are all critical to long-term regional stability and prosperity, making up 97 percent of the request. South and Central Asia. Funding to South and Central Asia increased by 6 percent in the FY 2008 request compared to FY 2006 levels for the region. Funding will continue to support the Global War on Terror through security, reconstruction, development and democracy efforts, particularly in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which represent 84 percent of the region's request. Success in these countries is critical to achieving peace, stability, and development progress throughout South and Central Asia. Funding under the Peace and Security objective makes up 36 percent of the request, including support to counterterrorism and counternarcotics programs which received 11 and 21 percent increases collectively from FY 2006. Funding for Economic Growth activities have increased by 6 percent over FY 2006, particularly for trade and investment and private sector competitiveness programs, reflecting the USG's efforts to integrate South and Central Asia through economic development, trade and reconstruction. Funding for the five Central Asian countries declined by nearly 24 percent from FY 2006 to FY 2008. Much of the decline comes in Uzbekistan, where the government has worked actively to limit U.S. assistance related to reform, and in Kazakhstan, whose oil wealth lessens the need for our assistance. Assistance is instead focused on the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, where there are opportunities to consolidate stability and promote democratization. Funding for India has also declined, by 35 percent from the FY 2006 level. India's economy has been among the world's bestperforming economies for a quarter century, and India has emerged as a significant donor in its own right. Western Hemisphere. Foreign assistance for Latin America has nearly doubled since the start of the Administration, rising from $862 million in FY 2001 to $1.6 billion in FY 2008 including FY 2008 projected MCC disbursements. When projected FY 2008 MCC disbursements are considered, funding for Latin America increases by 4 percent over FY 2006. The Western Hemisphere has made significant progress -- of the 26 countries in Latin America that receive foreign assistance, over half (14) are either in the Transforming or Sustaining Partnership categories. Seven countries are in the Developing category, six of which are close to graduating into the Transforming country category, as dictated by their performance related to indicators in the areas of Investing in People, Governing Justly and Democratically, and Economic Growth. Our strategy for FY 2008 recognizes that key levers for sustained success are economic empowerment and strengthening of democratic structures ­ in effect, helping democracy deliver on behalf of development. The request reflects a 5 percent increase in Governing Justly and Democratically, and when projected FY 2008 MCC disbursements are included, an 84 percent increase in Economic Growth, including support for implementation of the Central American and Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement. Programs under the Peace and Security objective, including programs for counternarcotics and programs to address gang-related violence, make up 53 percent of the request for the region. Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, and Haiti account for 70 percent of the region's FY 2008 budget request and remain the focus of transformational diplomacy efforts. Conclusion Overall, State and USAID have strategically realigned resources in order to accomplish key national security and development goals with maximum efficiency and fiscal responsibility. The FY 2008 Foreign Operations budget request represents a $2.16 billion increase over the FY 2006 enacted level. Within this level, HIV/AIDS has increased by $1.9 billion over FY 2006, and funding for critical countries in the Global War on Terror and others in or emerging from conflict, many among the poorest countries with the most disenfranchised populations, has increased by $749 million over FY 11 2006. As discussed above, in FY 2008, the three objectives targeted to achieving long-term development progress (Governing Justly and Democratically, Investing in People, and Economic Growth) increase by 14 percent over FY 2006 levels for activities related to these objectives. The foreign assistance reform process has aided in this endeavor, resulting in a strategic shift of $4.5 billion from FY 2006 to FY 2008. The transformational diplomacy goal acknowledges that an appropriate balance must be struck among development objectives in order to bring about lasting change in countries. Development must engender fundamental changes in governance and institutions, human capacity, and economic structures concurrently so that countries can sustain further economic and social progress on their own. The strategy reflected in the FY 2008 budget request seeks to implement these principles and enable human potential such that United States Foreign Assistance achieves the greatest measure of development progress: That each generation do better than the one before, in freedom, prosperity, and security. 12 13 I.

Peru -- $36.8 million to carry out key counternarcotics activities such as expanding the Narcotics Affairs Section (NAS) presence in isolated areas where drug traffickers and terrorists operate, maintaining the aviation program, and cooperating with the government to develop its counterterrorism intelligence and operational capabilities and performance through information sharing, training and assistance programs. Bolivia -- $30.0 million to support the eradication of illicit coca cultivation, increase interdiction of precursor chemicals and cocaine products, continue current level of prosecutions of narcotics related cases, and improve the quality of investigations into alleged human rights violations. · · Statement of Changes The total amount of funding requested for the ACI account in FY 2008 is a 39 percent decrease from the FY 2006 enacted level primarily due to the shift of Alternative Development program funding in the region to the Economic Support Fund (ESF) account. 14 Assistance for Eastern Europe and the Baltic States ($ in thousands) Assistance for Eastern Europe and the Baltic States FY 2006 Actual 357,390 FY 2007 Estimate 269,2000 FY 2008 Request 289,322 The President's FY 2008 $289.3 million request for SEED (Support for East European Democracy) Act and Foreign Assistance ACT (FAA) funding will continue to help stabilize Southeast Europe, which suffered the violent breakup of Yugoslavia and its aftermath in the 1990s. Stability in Kosovo and Serbia ­ essential for sustained stability in the region ­ are top priorities for SEED funding. Programs will focus on integrating Southeast Europe into the Euro-Atlantic community with its values of democracy, rule of law, individual freedom and market economies. The governments of the region are committed to reform and Euro-Atlantic integration; some are further along than others. Promoting democratic reform and stability, economic development, and rule of law will deepen their relationship with NATO, the European Union, the Stability Pact and the Central Europe Free Trade Agreement. SEED funding will support programs that fight international crime, trafficking, and corruption; build socio-economic bridges between ethnic communities; and consolidate the region's democratic and economic progress. AEEB (SEED) Funding Snapshot (For a complete list of all programs funded under this account, please refer to the tables at the back of this volume.) · Kosovo -- $151.2 million, following a status determination, to help Kosovar institutions adjust to the challenge of self-governance; develop judicial and law enforcement systems; support key industries and drive economic growth through policy reform; strengthen democratic institutions; and mitigate conflict by building multiethnic communities that embrace tolerance. Serbia -- $51.3 million to help Serbia's fragile reformist leadership keep political and economic reform on track. Major work remains in the areas of rule of law, privatization, economic growth, law enforcement, and building democracy. Serbia's stability and reform are fundamental to the success of U.S. foreign policy in the region. Assistance to Serbia following its peaceful split with Montenegro in 2006 and a looming final determination of Kosovo's status remains focused on accelerating Serbia's progress toward Euro-Atlantic integration. Bosnia and Herzegovina -- $22.9 million to help develop fledgling state-level institutions; strengthen the rule of law, including the ability to address war crimes, organized crime, and terrorism; foster an investor-friendly climate and sound financial and business regulatory environment for the private sector; and build the capacity of local government, media, and civil society. Regional SEED -- $21.2 million to help restore the regional ties broken by conflict as well as to support economic integration initiatives; fund grants programs promoting cross-border work on reconciliation and democratic reform; support law enforcement cooperation · · · 15 including fighting organized crime and corruption; and part of the U.S. contribution to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). · Macedonia -- $18.9 million to support sustained stability and Euro-Atlantic integration through the Ohrid Framework Agreement's full, practical implementation by further enhancing the government's ability to combat cross-border crime, strengthen rule of law, and advance macroeconomic reforms. Albania -- $16.2 million to improve the government's law enforcement and military capabilities, build democratic institutions, promote private-sector led growth, strengthen capacity in the health sector and fight trafficking, organized crime, and corruption. · Statement of Changes The FY 2008 SEED request of $289.3 million is a 19 percent decrease from $357.4 million in FY 2006, reflecting graduation of several countries from foreign assistance. FY 2006 was the last year of SEED funding for Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria. 16 Assistance for the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union ($ in thousands) Assistance for the Independent States FY 2006 Actual 508,860 FY 2007 Estimate 435,480 FY 2008 Request 351,585 The FY 2008 request of $351.6 million for FREEDOM Support Act (FSA) and Foreign Assistance Act funding reflects the vital U.S. national interest in helping the independent states of the former Soviet Union meet the transformational diplomacy goal by assisting them to advance along the path toward becoming stable, pluralistic, and prosperous countries that can assist the United States in combating transnational threats. While FSA assistance has played a substantial role in supporting reform in Eurasia, dramatically illustrated by the democratic breakthroughs in 2003-2005, a number of difficult challenges remain across the range of foreign assistance objectives. FSA funding will support programs that promote democratic and economic reform, fight transnational threats, improve health care and education, and provide humanitarian assistance. The priority for FSA funding is supporting countries at the forefront of democratic reform ­ Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, and the Kyrgyz Republic. Each of these countries has either qualified or is under consideration for receiving Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) assistance. In these cases, FSA funding is focused to complement MCC resources and maximize the impact of its development activities. Another priority for FSA funding is democracy promotion assistance in countries that present democratic challenges such as Russia, Belarus, and Uzbekistan. IS (FSA) Funding Snapshot (For a complete list of all programs funded under this account, please refer to the tables at the back of this volume.) · Ukraine -- $71.0 million to promote development of a democratic, prosperous, and secure Ukraine fully integrated into the Euro-Atlantic community. FSA programs will support civil society, the rule of law, justice sector reform, and anti-corruption efforts; promote energy security; combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic; and improve health care. Georgia -- $50.5 million to help consolidate Georgia's democratic and economic reforms, address rural poverty, increase the country's engagement with separatist regions, and decrease its energy dependence on Russia. Russia -- $50.0 million to intensify support for civil society, independent media, the rule of law, and human rights, with a focus on promoting a democratic presidential election in 2008. Funding will also combat HIV/AIDS, trafficking in persons, and other transnational threats. Conflict mitigation programs in the North Caucasus will help stem the spread of instability and development. Armenia -- $35.0 million to help implement economic and democratic reform and fight corruption. FSA assistance will complement major MCC resources for agricultural development. · · · 17 · Tajikistan -- $26.9 million to promote democratic and economic reform, fight infectious diseases, combat extremism, improve education, and strengthen Tajikistan's borders in the face of an increasing flow of illegal drugs from Afghanistan.

Regional FSA -- $22.2 million to support regional efforts to combat transnational threats, promote cross-border economic and energy linkages, track country progress towards transition goals, mitigate cross-border health problems, facilitate U.S. investment and exports to the region, and contribute to regional organizations such as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Azerbaijan -- $18 million to promote economic reforms that will enable Azerbaijan to manage its energy resources transparently and support private enterprise development; support law enforcement reform; strengthen borders; and encourage democratization, including supporting a free and fair presidential election process in 2008. · · · Statement of Changes The FY 2008 FSA request of $351.6 million is a 31 percent decrease from $508.9 million in FY 2006. FY 2006 was the last year of funding for economic programs in Russia, with the exception of limited assistance in areas of special importance, including the Russian Far East and the North Caucasus. Across objectives, the proportion of funding for Governing Justly and Democratically and Investing in People increased from FY 2006 to FY 2008, a strategic shift of resources based on high economic growth rates in some Eurasian countries, the importance of democracy promotion in the region, and the re-focusing of economic assistance in Georgia and Armenia to complement MCC resources. 18 Child Survival and Health Programs Fund ($ in thousands) Child Survival and Health Programs Fund FY 2006 Actual 1,591,425 FY 2007 Estimate 1,518,359 FY 2008 Request 1,564,279 The FY 2008 request of $1.56 billion for the Child Survival and Health Programs Fund (CSH) reflects the President's continuing commitment to improve interventions that address critical health, HIV/AIDS, malaria, nutrition and family planning needs worldwide. Programs expand basic health services and strengthen national systems to significantly improve people's health, especially that of women, children, and other vulnerable populations. CSH funds are focused on countries where impact will be maximized based on the country's complete development picture, including consideration of health indicators, host country absorptive capacity, the totality of USG resources in country, and the work of other donors in country. Allocation decisions were planned in collaboration with the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator in order to maximize complementarity with health interventions requested under the Global HIV/AIDS Initiative account.

FY 2008 funds are targeted to Africa, where significant family planning needs remain. The decision to decrease funds to this sector was "demand-driven," that is, identified by interagency teams, with input from field Missions. In FY 2008, a $300 million contribution to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is requested within the Department of Health and Human Services/National Institutes of Health budget. The funding request for malaria in FY 2008 increases by $285 million over FY 2006 $100 million levels. The increased request will fund assistance for all 15 targeted countries under the President's Malaria Initiative as well as ongoing bilateral programs worldwide. While first funded in a FY 2006 supplemental, continued funding is needed to respond to avian influenza outbreaks which have expanded from a concentration in Southeast Asia to a total of 53 countries across Eurasia, Middle East, Africa, as well as Southeast Asia. 21 Development Assistance FY 2006 Actual 1,508,760 FY 2007 Estimate 1,508,000 FY 2008 Request 1,041,248 ($ in thousands) Development Assistance The FY 2008 request of $1.04 billion for Development Assistance will focus on programs to promote transformational diplomacy in Developing and Transforming countries. The request level in FY 2008 reflects the intent to limit the use of DA in Rebuilding and Restrictive countries where special economic, political, and security circumstances are better served through the use of ESF. Funds will be focused on demand-driven interventions that address critical barriers to sustainable progress, including basic education, foundations for equitable economic growth, and natural resources management. In addition, funds are targeted to help government and civil society strengthen their institutions to qualify for additional resources, such as merit-based grants offered through MCC compact and threshold funds. DA funds will also support, to a limited degree, programs in Rebuilding states that enhance stability and develop key institutional capacities for lasting recovery, as well as global issues and concerns related to sustainable development. DA funds will be allocated on a limited basis to Sustaining Partnership countries, which are characterized as states with upper-middle income.

The reform process sought to maximize the use of account authorities in support of effective implementation of foreign assistance programs. In congruence with this principle, DA, which has the intent of supporting poor countries that demonstrate performance has been prioritized to Developing and Transforming countries with 57 percent of DA resources allocated to these categories. Economic Support Funds (ESF) focus on economic support under special economic, political, or security conditions. ESF, therefore, was prioritized to support activities for countries in the Rebuilding and Restrictive countries with 52 percent of ESF resources allocated to these categories. DA funds will be allocated on an extremely limited basis to Sustaining Partnership countries, which are characterized as states with upper-middle income. The programs that DA has traditionally supported which focus on long-term, sustainable development progress and poverty alleviation are being funded at higher levels in FY 2008 than in FY 2006. Together, the three objectives targeted to achieving long-term development progress (Governing Justly and Democratically, Investing in People, and Economic Growth) account for 54 percent of total resources in FY 2008, compared to 51 percent in FY 2006. When MCC resources are considered, investments in these objectives increase from 51 percent in FY 2006 to 57 percent in FY 2008. 24 Development Credit Authority ($ in thousands) Development Credit Authority ­ Administrative Expenses Development Credit Authority ­ Transfer Authority FY 2006 Actual 7,920 21,000 FY 2007 Estimate 3,469 - FY 2008 Request 7,400 21,000 The FY 2008 request includes $21 million in transfer authority to provide loan guarantees in all regions and sectors. The Development Credit Authority (DCA) uses credit to leverage private capital in host countries for critical development interventions. Up to $5 million of this transfer authority will support the Africa Housing and Infrastructure Facility (AHIF). This innovative credit facility will use DCA transfer authority to support the subsidy cost of partial guarantees for private sector financing of water, infrastructure, and housing projects in Africa. The AHIF will also be used to support the Presidential Water for the Poor Initiative. In addition, USAID will use up to $1 million in AHIF transfers to fund project development costs. The request also includes $7.4 million for credit administrative costs. In accordance with the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this will fund the total cost of development, implementation, and financial management of the DCA program, as well as the continued administration of the Agency's legacy credit portfolios which amount to more than $22 billion. The sound management and equitable access to water, forest, coast and biological resources is essential to sustainable economic development and a healthy environment. Recognizing this, the USG has endeavored to implement strategies that reflect the intrinsic linkages connecting healthy ecosystems to sustainable economies, good governance, and equitable and just societies. As a demand-driven initiative, committed to developing and partnering with the indigenous private sector, the DCA is uniquely able to promote the kinds of partnerships that enhance the sustainability of water and environmental interventions. In FY 2008, therefore, DCA intends to focus on projects related to water infrastructure and the environment in order to demonstrate the viability of transformational investing in these critical areas. 25 Economic Support Fund ($ in thousands) Economic Support Fund FY 2006 Actual 2,616,075 FY 2007 Estimate 2,603,540 FY 2008 Request 3,319,567 The President requests $3.32 billion for the Economic Support Fund (ESF). Part II, Chapter 4, section 531 of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) recognizes that under special economic, political, or security conditions, the national interests of the U.S. may require economic support for countries in amounts that could not be justified under Development Assistance (DA). The FAA authorizes the President to "furnish assistance to countries and organizations, on such terms and conditions as he may determine, in order to promote economic or political stability." Rebuilding and Developing countries require ESF resources to create the stable environment necessary for the country to address the needs of its people and contribute productively to the international community. ESF focus on economic support under special economic, political, or security conditions. ESF, therefore, was prioritized to support activities for countries in the Rebuilding, Developing and Restrictive categories, even when some of those are development activities. ESF funds are highly concentrated in these categories at 89 percent. Among other priorities, programs funded with ESF resources provide assistance to allies in the global war on terror, help countries provide basic education and health services to their populations, aid countries in their transition to democracy, support the Middle East peace process, and finance economic stabilization programs.

This increase represents the strategic shift to prioritize ESF in Rebuilding and Restrictive countries with 52 percent of ESF resources allocated to these categories. This shift does not mean that activities formerly funded with DA will be discontinued. To the contrary, funding in the three objectives traditionally funded with DA, Governing Justly and Democratically, Investing in People, and Economic Growth, receive a net gain of $108 million when DA decreases in these objectives are considered. Together, the three objectives targeted to achieving long-term development progress (Governing Justly and Democratically, Investing in People, and Economic Growth) account for 54 percent of total resources in FY 2008, compared to 51 percent in FY 2006. When MCC resources are considered, investments in these objectives increase from 51 percent in FY 2006 to 57 percent in FY 2008. The reform process sought to maximize the use of account authorities in support of effective implementation of foreign assistance programs. In congruence with this principle, DA was prioritized to Developing and Transforming countries (at 57 percent), with the goal of directing DA to poor countries demonstrating performance. ESF is focused on economic support under special economic, political, or security conditions. ESF, therefore, was prioritized to support activities for countries in the Rebuilding, Developing and Restrictive categories, even when some of those are development activities. 29 U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund ($ in thousands) U.S. Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund FY 2006 Actual 29,700 FY 2007 Estimate 30,000 FY 2008 Request 55,000 A request for $55 million in FY 2008 will ensure readiness to respond to future urgent and unexpected refugee and migration needs.

The USAID OE budget covers salaries and benefits, overseas and Washington operations, and central support, which includes human capital initiatives, security, and information technology. In addition, the Agency expects to have $49.1 million in other funding sources, including carry-forward, trust funds, and special authorities. The Agency is looking carefully at the composition of its workforce, training, and hiring practices in order to maximize its ability to achieving the transformational diplomacy goal. FY 2008 funds will cover salaries, building costs, and other expenses commensurate with meeting this challenge. Additionally, it is anticipated that in FY 2008 there will be requirements above the Agency's basic operations that will be covered by reallocation within the request level. Some examples are: · Sudan mission operations · Consolidation of overseas administrative services with the Department of State OE funding snapshot (including carry-over) · $339.3 million for overseas operations will fund USDH salaries and benefits ($126.3 million) for approximately 700 Foreign Service Officers serving overseas and other costs associated with maintaining mission operations including travel, office space, security, and residences for expatriate personnel. $198.6 million for Washington operations will fund U.S. Direct Hire (USDH) salaries and benefits ($172.4 million), for approximately 1,580 General Service and Foreign Service employees, general office support, and advisory and assistance services. $120.0 million will provide funding for information technology, office space in the Ronald Reagan Building and other mandatory services and costs of the Agency. · · Statement of Changes The OE request level reflects a 15 percent cut from the FY 2006 estimate, not including supplemental funding. USAID plans to operate within this lower level by undertaking institutional reforms to streamline the Agency and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of supporting the delivery of foreign assistance. OE is being requested in the FY 2007 supplemental and in the FY 2008 GWOT Emergency funding for Iraq and Afghanistan (explained in separate narratives, specific to emergency funding). 43 USAID Capital Investment Fund ($ in thousands) USAID Capital Investment Fund FY 2006 Actual 69,300 FY 2007 Estimate 75,942 FY 2008 Request 126,000 For FY 2008, the Administration requests $126 million in no-year funding for the Capital Investment Fund (CIF) to provide USAID to manage investments in information technology and facility construction. CIF provides funding for the capital investment portion of both information technology and facility construction while the USAID Operating Expense account funds the annual operating and maintenance costs of information systems and facilities infrastructure. USAID CIF funding snapshot · $99.5 million for facility construction to fund USAID's participation in the Capital Security Cost Sharing Program (CSCS). The Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 requires USAID to co-locate on new embassy compounds. These funds will support USAID's ability to move into facilities that meet standards for physical security. $26.5 million for information technology to modernize antiquated software systems and invest in the integration of financial systems with State, improve the procurement process, participate in egovernment initiatives, and improve the Agency's reporting systems. These investments support Presidential Management Agenda initiatives, Agency transformation goals, congressional recommendations, and the efficiency of Agency staff. · Statement of Changes The CIF request reflects an 82 percent increase from FY 2006 to cover USAID's full cost of participation in the CSCS program. FY 2008 is the fourth year of the five year phase-in period for financing the CSCS program. During the phase-in period, the cost of participation increases annually. 44 USAID Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Fund ($ in thousands) USAID Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Fund FY 2006 Actual 42,000 FY 2007 Estimate 38,700 FY 2008 Request 36,400 In FY 1974, amendments to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, permitted USAID career Foreign Service employees to become participants in the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Fund. The extension of coverage to USAID employees created an unfunded liability in the system. An actuarial determination by the Department of the Treasury shows that $36,400,000 will be required in FY 2008 to amortize this liability and the unfunded liability created by pay raises and benefit changes since FY 1974. For FY 2008, USAID is requesting an appropriation of this amount. 45 USAID Inspector General Operating Expenses ($ in thousands) USAID Inspector General Operating Expenses FY 2006 Actual 35,640 FY 2007 Estimate 37,915 FY 2008 Request 38,000 The FY 2008 request of $38.0 million for the USAID Office of the Inspector General (OIG) funds salaries and benefits for Washington and overseas staff and operating expenses which support audit and investigative coverage of USAID programs and activities. The OIG assists USAID in implementing its programs by providing the Agency with information and recommendations to improve program and operational performance. The OIG also works with USAID to protect and maintain the integrity of the Agency and its programs. 46 FY 2007 Global War on Terror (GWOT) Supplemental The FY 2007 supplemental request totals $4.81 billion in the following accounts. Assistance for Eastern Europe and the Baltic States (SEED) Kosovo - The $279 million FY 2007 supplemental request will support the outcome of the political process under the auspices of UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari to determine Kosovo's status. As settlement, expected to be completed early this year, will fall outside of the normal budget process, we are requesting significant resources to support the outcome. Immediate needs for Kosovo's future growth and stability will include building government sector capacity, solidifying the rule of law, and developing much-needed infrastructure. Funds may also be used to cover the operational and staffing costs of U.S. participation in the International Civilian Office, which will oversee implementation of the civilian aspects of the settlement; possible participation in the EU-led civilian rule of law mission in Kosovo; and a contribution to reduce any share of Serbia's international debt that Kosovo may inherit. Together these efforts will support implementation of the standards, promote economic and democratic development in Kosovo, and help stabilize the region. The European Union and IFIs would, however, bear the brunt of these costs, which could be as high as $2 billion. "Frontloading" of U.S. assistance immediately post-status through an FY 2007 supplemental will promote stability and economic growth, enable quicker reduction of U.S. troop presence in Kosovo, prevent additional debt-service costs, and leverage greater contributions from other donors. Child Survival and Health Programs (CSH) Avian Influenza ­ The President requests $161 million to be able to maintain and expand its efforts to stop the spread of the avian flu virus and pre-empt the emergence of a virus capable of causing a global influenza pandemic. The success of USAID's efforts over the past year has been closely linked to the rapid commitment and obligation of available funds in support of emergency field operations. At current expenditure-rates, USAID expects AI funds will be fully spent by the summer of 2007. Recent events have highlighted the need for the earliest possible receipt of emergency supplemental for avian influenza. Over the past 5 weeks outbreaks of avian influenza involving both poultry and humans have been reported in a dozen countries spanning Asia, Europe and Africa, with new mutations reported in countries as dispersed as Egypt and Indonesia signaling that the virus continues to change rapidly. The threat posed by the avian influenza virus is expected to continue to increase in the coming months. This recent surge in reported AI outbreaks is consistent with the seasonal surge reported during the first six months of 2006 when the H5N1 virus spread with unexpected speed across 53 countries. International Disaster and Famine Assistance (IDFA) The IDFA supplemental request of $105 million includes funding for the following programs: Sudan - The request for $40 million in FY 2007 supplemental funding will ensure the USG's continued ability to provide humanitarian assistance to 1.9 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in the more than 60 IDP camps in which we work. The funding would allow the USG expand access to communities and remote and rural areas, security permitting, laying the 47 foundation for returns. The funding would also build upon nascent efforts at conflict mitigation among critical groups, including nomads and pastoralists. Key sectors to be targeted include health, water and sanitation, food security, which includes agricultural and livestock requirements, relief commodities, logistics and transport of humanitarian goods and partners, and shelter and livelihoods support (such as fuel efficient stoves which also protect women from Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), and shelter needs in Darfur). A small portion of the funding would support relief needs of host communities of Darfurian refugees and the increasing number of IDPs in Eastern Chad. These non-food humanitarian projects have proven essential to mitigating tension and conflict between Darfurian refugees and host Chadian communities. Other -This request provides $65 million to carry out unanticipated humanitarian assistance activities or to replenish costs incurred as a result of the humanitarian crises in Iraq and Somalia. The request includes funds for continued support for humanitarian needs of persons affected by the violence in Iraq, and to meet emergency needs arising from the current humanitarian crisis in Somalia. The request would support expansion of the current IDP response in Iraq, to meet the needs of an increased number of beneficiaries. Although the recent intensification of conflict in Somalia has not resulted in an immediate escalation of humanitarian needs, substantial emergency needs exist as a result of over a decade of repeated. Currently, more than 1.8 million vulnerable Somalis are without consistent access to basic health, nutrition, water, or sanitation services. In order to support the stabilization of the country, Somalis must have access to basic services, which is currently constrained by insecurity and a lack of access. Economic Support Funds (ESF) The request of $3.025 billion additional ESF includes funds for the following programs: Iraq ­ The $2.072 billion FY 2007 supplemental request will go to support programs that contribute to security, economic, and political stability. In the security area, $1.254 billion will support programs coordinated through Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) which will both improve the capacity of local Iraqi governments and will improve prosperity and stability at the local level, reinforcing security initiatives carried out by the military. Funding will also support Community Stabilization (CSP) and Community Action Programs (CAP), which are vital for counterinsurgency operations by providing funding for rehabilitation of community infrastructure, employment generation and financial support for local businesses. In the economic area, $100 million will be provided to advance reforms in agriculture and the private sector that are critical to job creation. In the political area, $718 million will support critical programs for Ministerial Capacity Development, Policy and Regulatory Reforms, and Democracy and Civil Society. Lebanon ­ The FY 2007 supplement request is $300 million. Working with the IMF, the Government of Lebanon is launching an ambitious economic reform agenda. The U.S. intends to support this agenda with direct budget support to the Siniora Government conditioned on achievement of select reforms. Our focus on economic stabilization and fiscal responsibility on the part of the Lebanese Government is intended not only to enhance the Government's credibility in the eyes of its people and the international community, but to lay the groundwork for long-term political stability and economic opportunity for the Lebanese people. The USG will also continue to support the post-conflict reconstruction of Lebanon and will work with the Government of Lebanon and the international community to identify how the USG might best contribute to that effort. Afghanistan ­ The FY 2007 Supplemental request of $653 million funds those reconstruction efforts that are critical elements of our strategy to achieve security and development in Afghanistan. 48 Supplemental funding primarily focuses on expanding reconstruction efforts in provinces that have been targeted by Taliban and other insurgents. These efforts include accelerating power supply distribution, building high priority roads in Afghanistan's south and southeastern regions, expanding rural development programs, and strengthening governance in targeted provinces. The FY 2007 Supplemental funds will support the Northeastern Power System, an effort to supply Kabul and Afghanistan's northern cities with both local and imported powers, and thereby reduce the U.S. funding spent on expensive, short-term diesel fuel purchases. Funding for roads will support road segments that are of strategic military importance and will connect District Centers, key outposts of Afghanistan's central and provincial government in the rural hinterlands, with provincial capitals in the country's southern and eastern provinces. In addition, the Supplemental will support a critical expansion of alternative economic development initiatives into un-served areas with the potential for increased poppy cultivation. Creating and sustaining improved livelihoods, particularly in rural areas, is a key pillar in the counter-narcotics strategy of the Governments of Afghanistan and the United States. The Supplemental will also permit the necessary deepening and diversification of U.S. efforts to strengthen provincial governance. As the post-Bonn center of gravity for reconstruction and developments shifts from Kabul to the provinces, Provincial Reconstruction Teams are more vital than ever as a primary tool to strengthen provincial governance and thus support transformational diplomacy and development. Support will include infrastructure, tools, and training to help build responsive, sub-national governance. Activities will be concentrated in the south and east in support of counterinsurgency efforts Near-term funding is critical to tip the balance of Afghan support for democratic governance so that reconstruction and development programs can successfully serve as incentives for peace and reconciliation and thus rob the Taliban and others of the critical support necessary for the continuance of the insurgency and ability to further destabilize the southern and eastern region of Afghanistan. Foreign Military Financing (FMF) Lebanon -- The request for $220 million will help to ensure the success of Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which relies in part on the performance of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), a multi-confessional, highly motivated, but drastically under-equipped force. Working with the international community, the U.S. will assist in meeting these needs, in particular in training and equipping the LAF. Treasury International Affairs Technical Assistance (TIATA) Department of Treasury Office of Technical Assistance -- The $2.75 million request is to enable Treasury's Office of Technical Assistance to deepen its engagement with the Government of Iraq (GOI). Based on new requirements and requests from the GOI, the funding will enable the U.S. to field new advisors including expanded assistance to the Central bank on banking law, and the Ministry of Finance on budget execution. The funds will also permit the creation of a new program with the Iraq Council of Representatives on budget and financial matters. Finally, the funding will enable the U.S. to participate in a new, innovative, and multilateral approach to public financial management training in partnership with the World Bank. International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement (INCLE) The supplemental request of $260 million includes funds for the following programs. 49 Iraq ­ The FY 2007 supplemental request for $200 million will strengthen judicial processes and criminal justice required to stabilize Iraq, and allow funding of the most critical elements of development of the criminal justice system, anti-corruption, and corrections capacities, through training, technical assistance, equipment, infrastructure improvements, security enhancements, and prison construction. The overarching strategy to which this funding will contribute is to help build a criminal justice system that is sufficiently fair and effective that Iraqi citizens will trust in and turn to government institutions, not violent militias and other forms of "alternative justice," to resolve disputes. Rule of law: Supplemental funding will focus on the most pressing priorities essential to both the success of the new Baghdad Security Plan and the longer-term goals of helping build a democratic society based on the rule of law. Those priorities include (1) judicial and court security - protecting judges, witnesses, court staff, and court facilities so that court proceedings can take place in an environment relative free from intimidation; (2) training and mentoring judges, prosecutors, and judicial investigators in the legal matters and skills necessary to process criminal cases fairly and efficiently; (3) integrating the various components of the judicial system so that defendants do not fall through the cracks ­ guilty persons are not erroneously released and the innocent are not erroneously detained; and (4) supporting anticorruption efforts so as to enhance citizens' trust in their government and accountability on the part of that government. Corrections: Funds will be used to address capacity issues, overcrowding and human rights concerns within Iraq's jail and prison systems. Specifically, it will fund construction of additional jail/prison beds and provision of technical assistance to the Iraqi Corrections Service (ICS), including to support the expansion of the service as it takes over pre-trial detention responsibilities from the Ministry of Interior and new prison space comes on line. Lebanon ­ The FY 2007 supplemental request of $60 million will support the Internal Security Forces (ISF), a force that will play a critical role in support of implementation of UNSCRs 1559 and 1701. In particular, the Internal Security Force has assumed responsibility for guarding Lebanon's ports, airports, and borders as well as fulfilling a traditional counterterrorism role. The ISF's capability to undertake these critical missions is woefully inadequate. The force is expanding quickly, but new personnel urgently require training and personal equipment, including uniforms, body armor, personal weapons, communications equipment, vehicles and other items. The U.S. is developing a train and equip program to address the ISF's critical needs. Assistance will also be required for the customs service to strengthen monitoring and interdiction capabilities, especially at ports of entry and land border crossings. Migration and Refugee Assistance (MRA) The 2007 request provides $71.5 million for unforeseen refugee and migration emergencies in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and to assist Iraqi refugees and conflict victims, and address the emergency needs of Palestinian refugees. The request would support ongoing repatriation efforts in DRC and Burundi that ramped up in FY 2006. There remain 370,000 Burundi refugees in Tanzania, and several thousand in Rwanda and the DRC. There are over 400,000 DRC refugees in neighboring countries and the peaceful, democratic transformation currently underway, elections in November 2006 paved the way for refugees to return to DRC in 2007. These return operations are critical to the lasting stability and recovery of both Burundi and the DRC. Funds would support UNHCR, ICRC, and NGO requirements to assist Iraqi refugees in neighboring countries and conflict-affected populations in Iraq. This funding would support the estimated 1,800,000 Iraqi refugees living in increasingly deteriorating conditions in the region (especially 50 Jordan and Syria), and target extremely vulnerable Iraqis, particularly those who have recent left Iraq due to sectarian violence, by providing health, education, shelter, and protection from deportation. It would also permit quick impact projects throughout Iraq targeting those regions most affected by IDPs and communities hosting people displaced by conflict. Additional funding would maintain health assistance to refugee returnees in the south of Iraq. With the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the West Bank on the decline and current prospects for progress on the political front slim, UNRWA will likely continue as our only channel of support in FY 2007 for Palestinian refugees, who constitute 70 percent of the population in Gaza and 30 percent in the West Bank. UNRWA's 2007 Emergency Appeal reflects growing humanitarian needs of Palestinian refugees in the West Bank and Gaza due to ongoing conflict and the Palestinian Authority's fiscal crisis. Non-Proliferation, Anti-Terrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) The supplemental request of $27.5 million includes funds for the following programs. Iraq -- The $7 million request in NADR will continue critical demining activities that protect lives in Iraq. All currently available funding has been obligated or disbursed. Lebanon -- The request for $5.5 million will support a terrorist interdiction program that would provide the Government of Lebanon with a capability to ensure adequate controls, particularly at key points of entry. The capacity to interdict the movement of terrorists into and out of Lebanon is essential to the success of United National Security Council Resolutions 1559 and 1701. A Afghanistan -- The $15 million FY 2007 request will address the funding gap in support for the Presidential Protection Service. U.S. equipment, training and mentoring is essential to build the capacity of Afghan security forces, enabling them to protect the Afghan leadership and contain terrorist elements. Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) The FY 2007 supplemental request of $278 million includes funding for the following programs. Sudan - The FY 2007 supplemental request of $150 million will be used to support Darfur peacekeeping, including support for the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS). This support includes: construction and operations; and maintenance of base camps for AMIS troops; maintenance of vehicles and communications equipment; pre-deployment training and equipping for Rwandan and Senegalese troops in AMIS; strategic airlift of AMIS troops; provision of U.S. contract military observers to AMIS; and support for transition of AMIS to a United Nations peacekeeping force in Darfur. As part of this supplemental the Administration requests transfer authority from the Contributions for International Peacekeeping Activities (CIPA) account to the PKO account. The FY 2007 supplemental request also includes $128 million to support a number of anticipated new peacekeeping requirements in Africa. The humanitarian tragedy that continues to unfold in the Darfur region of Western Sudan has caused a severe spillover effect in Eastern Chad, with large numbers of Sudanese refugees coming across the border, destabilizing an already delicate situation between the Government of Chad (GOC) and several rebel groups operating in the region. This delicate situation is causing further spillover effect into Northern Central African Republic, threatening even wider conflict in the Central Africa region if action is not taken to stem the tide of violence and destabilization. The additional FY 2007 funds for peacekeeping operations will be 51 applied to stabilization operations and security sector reform. Funds will also be used to deploy a regional, African stabilization and peacekeeping force in Somalia that will provide a secure environment in which a political process can move forward and effective security institutions can be developed. In addition, support to and develop of nascent institutions serving Somali will provide an important peace dividend that will help our efforts to encourage inclusive political dialogue and reconciliation toward establishment of a legitimate, functioning government that will serve all Somalis. P.L. 480 - Title II The FY 2007 supplemental request of $350 million includes funding for the following programs. Sudan ­ An additional $150 million is needed to respond to Sudan and Eastern Chad in FY 2007. USAID will be able to meet 40% of this requirement from its core budget and $75 million of the proposed supplemental request will allow us to reach the target of 50% of global needs for Sudan and Eastern Chad. An additional $75 million will be required if increasing insecurity results in greater needs, as it already appears to have done in Eastern Chad, or rising redelivery costs, such as if aid agencies must use aircraft. Emergencies ­ The request also includes $200 million to meet other critical food situations elsewhere in the world. For example, inadequate rainfall during April and May 2006, especially in northern Afghanistan, has resulted in drought conditions and an increase in food aid requirements. In southern Africa, slow recovery after two droughts in the last five years, continuing deterioration of economic conditions in Zimbabwe, and the projected below-average upcoming rainy season are resulting in higher-than-expected food aid needs. Increasing displacement of Somalis within the country and to Kenya due to rising insecurity, coupled with slow recovery after several seasons of failed rains, has raised food aid needs significantly over levels previously anticipated in the Horn of Africa. U.S Emergency and Refugee & Migration Assistance (ERMA) The request provides $30 million to address unanticipated emergency humanitarian needs in places such as Somalia, Chad, West Bank/Gaza, Iraq, and Sri Lanka. It would also support contingency planning for increased Darfur refugee outflows to Chad (up to 150,000 refugees and IDPs), which is appearing increasingly likely. The current ERMA balance is $6.2 million, the lowest in more than a decade; that level is insufficient to respond to the likely level of requirements. USAID Operating Expenses (USAID OE) A supplemental request of $5.7 million in USAID OE is required to fund the projected extraordinary security, personnel and other costs of operating the USAID's mission in Afghanistan in a deteriorating security environment. International Broadcasting Operations (IBO) The supplemental request includes $10.0 million for the Middle East Broadcasting Networks. As part of the U.S. strategy to counter violent extremism, Alhurra will launch a signature three-hour daily television program. The new show will offer the means to set the agenda for news and information in the region, discussing compelling social issues and broadcasting investigative reports. Alhurra provides direct access to the hearts and minds of the people of the Middle East to inform a vast and critical audience about American policies, people, institutions, and perspectives. 52 FY 2008 Global War on Terror (GWOT) Emergency The FY 2008 emergency request for Foreign Operations totals $1.37 billion in the following accounts. Economic Support Funds (ESF) The $1.111 million request for ESF includes funds for the following programs: Iraq ­ The $772 million request in ESF will support programs that contribute to security, economic, and political stability. In the security area, $390 million will support programs coordinated through Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) to complete the transition to Iraq's self-reliance. Funding will also support Community Stabilization (CSP) and Community Action Programs (CAP), which are vital for counterinsurgency operations by providing funding for rehabilitation of community infrastructure, employment generation and financial support for local businesses. In the economic area, $134 million will fund programs that strengthen Iraqi operations and maintenance of USGfunded infrastructure. In the political area, $248 million will support training and capacity development for key Iraqi ministries to execute their own budgets and perform critical functions for the Iraqi people. It will also fund programs to ensure that the former regime is held accountable for its crimes. Afghanistan - $339 million is requested to continue funding of critical reconstruction efforts that will contribute to efforts counter and prevent further insurgency. This request will meet critical infrastructure requirements for building and maintaining roads in the southern and eastern regions of Afghanistan and power plants and power distribution networks. These infrastructure efforts will help the Government of Afghanistan provide greatly needed services and opportunities for citizens in areas facing insurgent activity and would help prevent insurgents from crossing into Afghanistan from Pakistan. International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement (INCLE) Iraq- The FY 2008 request of $159 million will consolidate and expand the gains in human rights, anti-corruption and rule of law. This request would provide funding for Iraq to enable additional prison/jail bed construction to meet anticipated shortfalls, and further develop Iraqi criminal justice, corrections and anti-corruption entities, including by improving security and boosting technical skills/capacities and management. Rule of law: We seek to support twin goals through our rule of law programs in Iraq: to help the Iraqis develop the institutional and societal frameworks on which the rule of law rests while on a priority basis addressing more immediate problems that impede the effective functioning of the justice system and thus undermine the confidence of the Iraqi people in their Government and their future. With FY08 Supplemental funding, we expect to continue Baghdad programs while expanding programs for judicial and court security, judicial capacity, justice integration, and anticorruption to the provinces. Corrections: As Iraqi security forces' capacities continue to improve, more criminals will be taken off the streets. We will use FY08 Supplemental funds to continue to expand the inmate capacity of Iraq's already overcrowded jail and prison facilities and provide advisory support for the related continued expansion of the Iraqi Corrections Service. 53 Migration and Refugee Assistance (MRA) In FY 2008, MRA funds for Iraq totaling $35 million would support UNHCR, ICRC, and NGO requirements to assist Iraqi refugees in neighboring countries and conflict-affected populations in Iraq, including returns and reintegration-related activities. This funding would support the currently estimated 1,800,000 Iraqi refugees living in increasingly deteriorating conditions in the region (especially Jordan and Syria), and target extremely vulnerable Iraqis, particularly those who have left Iraq due to sectarian violence, by providing health, education and shelter and protection from deportation. It would also permit quick impact projects throughout Iraq targeting those regions most affected by IDPs and communities hosting people displaced by conflict. Additional funding would maintain health assistance to refugee returnees in the south of Iraq. Funding would build on previous support to increase UNHCR's capacity to refer vulnerable refugees to the U.S. refugee resettlement program. USAID Operating Expenses (USAID OE) The $61.8 million request for USAID OE includes $45.8 million to fund projected personnel and support costs in Iraq as well as Washington-based staff backstopping the Iraq Mission, and other operating costs including those associated with moving into the New Embassy Compound in Baghdad. The request also includes $16 million to support the projected extraordinary security, personnel, including the International Cooperative Administrative Support System (ICASS), and other costs for operating the Mission in Afghanistan. 54 II. Independent Department and Agencies Bilateral Assistance African Development Foundation ($ in thousands) African Development Foundation FY 2006 Actual 22,770 FY 2007 Estimate 22,225 FY 2008 Request 30,000 The President's request for $30.0 million in FY 2008 for ADF will allow the Foundation to provide African small enterprises with the essential capital, technology, technical assistance, and training they need to grow, generate new jobs in Africa's poorest communities, and deliver significant increases in income to their employees and others involved in their production chain. The funding will also help farming groups and small businesses access the global economy by providing them with resources to diversify their production, create value-added products, satisfy international quality standards, and market their products to regional and overseas buyers. The ADF will leverage its annual appropriation by securing approximately $16 million in matching donations from African governments, other donor organizations, and the private sector. 55 Broadcasting Board of Governors ($ in thousands) International Broadcasting Operations Broadcasting to Cuba Broadcasting Capital Improvements Total, Broadcasting Board of Governors FY 2006 Actual 633,257 10,754 644,011 FY 2007 Estimate 636,060 7,624 643,684 FY 2008 Request 618,777 38,700 10,748 668,225 The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) is an independent entity responsible for all U.S. nonmilitary international broadcasting programs. Its mission is to promote and sustain freedom and democracy by broadcasting accurate and objective news and information about the United States and the world to audiences overseas. International Broadcasting Operations (IBO) The FY 2008 request provides $618.8 million for International Broadcasting Operations. Through this account, the BBG funds operations of the Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Radio Free Asia (RFA), and Middle East Broadcasting Networks (including Alhurra, Alhurra-Iraq, Alhurra-Europe, and Radio Sawa), as well as related program delivery and support activities. The FY 2008 budget establishes a 10-hour stream of VOA and RFA daily programming to North Korea, launches a daily three-hour live Alhurra television program produced and broadcast from the Middle East, continues the VOA Somali Service's 30-minute daily radio broadcast, and increases VOA Spanish programming to seven days a week. In addition, the FY 2008 budget includes key initiatives proposed in FY 2007 to expand news coverage on Alhurra television and Radio Sawa, enhance VOA broadcasts to Venezuela, shift RFE/RL Russian radio broadcasting from shortwave radio transmission to more popular UKV frequencies in major cities, and add medium wave transmission for RFA programming to North Korea. The FY 2008 budget focuses on specific audiences in North Korea, the Middle East, Somalia, and Cuba. Based on this strategy, the BBG is proposing to eliminate its broadcasts in Cantonese; reduce broadcasts in Uzbek, Ukrainian, Tibetan, Portuguese to Africa, Romanian, South Slavic languages, and Kazakh; and reduce the BBG transmission network and support functions. The FY 2008 budget also includes reductions proposed in FY 2007 to BBG broadcasts in Serbian, Albanian, Bosnian, Georgian, Macedonian, Hindi, Russian, English, Croatian, Greek, and Thai. Broadcasting to Cuba (OCB) The FY 2008 request provides $38.7 million for Radio Marti and TV Marti broadcast operations to support current schedules and enhance Radio and Television Marti's reach into Cuba through improved transmission and program production. The FY 2008 budget includes on-going costs for operating the aircraft that are broadcasting Office of Cuba Broadcasting programming. 56 Funding for Broadcasting to Cuba was provided in the International Broadcasting Operations account in FY 2006 and FY 2007. In FY 2008, funding for Broadcasting to Cuba is requested as a separate account. Broadcasting Capital Improvements (BCI) The FY 2008 request provides $10.7 million for Broadcasting Capital Improvements to maintain the BBG's worldwide transmission network, including the security of transmission facilities overseas. The FY 2008 budget also addresses the BBG's most critical equipment and infrastructure maintenance, replacement, and repair requirements. 57 Department of Agriculture ($ in thousands) McGovern-Dole International Food for Education Total, Department of Agriculture FY 2006 Actual 99,000 99,000 FY 2007 Estimate 98,260 98,260 FY 2008 Request 100,000 100,000 The FY 2008 request for the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program Grants is $100 million. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers this program. The FY 2006 program provided $99 million for the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities and associated technical and financial assistance to carry out preschool and school feeding programs in 13 foreign countries in order to improve food security, reduce the incidence of hunger and malnutrition, and improve literacy and primary education. The program also supports maternal, infant, and child nutrition programs for pregnant women, nursing mothers, infants and children. 58 Department of the Treasury ($ in thousands) Treasury Technical Assistance Debt Restructuring Total, Department of the Treasury Treasury Technical Assistance The FY2008 request for Treasury International Affairs Technical Assistance (TIATA) is $24.8 million. The program provides financial advisors to countries seeking assistance in implementing significant economic reforms, especially during critical periods of transition to market-based economies. The program supports economic policy and financial management reforms, focusing on the functional disciplines of budget, taxation, government debt, financial institutions, and financial enforcement. In FY2008, it is estimated that $7.37 million of the funds requested will be used by Treasury Technical Assistance to fund resident and short-term advisor projects with countries combating money laundering and terrorist finance activity. A large portion of the funds requested (36%) will be used for assistance programs in sub-Saharan Africa, supporting economic and financial reforms in countries receiving HIPC debt relief. Over 12% of the requested funds will be used to carry out projects in the Greater Middle East. The funds will also be utilized to begin two new high priority country engagements in Vietnam and India. Debt Restructuring The FY 2008 request is $207.3 million for Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) and poorest country debt reduction, HIPC Trust Fund, and Tropical Forest Conservation Act (TFCA) programs. For the poorest countries with unsustainable debt, debt reduction provides an incentive to implement macroeconomic and structural reforms necessary for economic growth and also to free up resources for poverty reduction efforts. The bulk of the request will be needed to cover the cost of completing HIPC bilateral debt reduction for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Tropical Forest Conservation Act (TFCA) received strong bipartisan support and was signed into law in 1998. The program allows for reduction of U.S. concessional debt and redirection of payments in local currency in eligible countries to support programs to conserve tropical forests.

The FY 2008 Budget estimates that the Bank's export credit support will total $18.7 billion in lending activity, and will be funded entirely by receipts collected from the Bank's customers. The Bank expects to collect $146 million in receipts in excess of estimated losses in FY 2008. These receipts will be used to cover both the $68 million for loan programs as well as the $78 million for administrative expenses. The Export-Import Bank of the United States is an independent executive agency and a whollyowned U.S. Government corporation. Ex-Im Bank is the official export credit agency of the United States. Its mission is to support U.S. exports by providing export financing through its loan, guarantee, and insurance programs in cases where the private sector is unable or unwilling to provide financing or when such support is necessary to level the playing field due to financing provided by foreign governments to their exporters that are in competition for export sales with U.S. exporters. By facilitating the financing of U.S. exports, Ex-Im Bank helps companies create and maintain U.S. jobs. The Bank actively assists small and medium-sized businesses. 60 Foreign Claims Settlement Commission ($ in thousands) Foreign Claims Settlement Commission FY 2006 Actual 1,303 FY 2007 Estimate 1,417 FY 2008 Request 1,684 The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission adjudicates the claims of American nationals (individuals and corporations) arising out of the nationalization, expropriation, or other taking of their property by foreign governments ­ and, in some cases, claims for personal injury and death ­ pursuant to the International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 and other statutes. The FY 2008 request of $1.7 million will enable the Commission to continue this function, while also providing technical assistance to the Departments of State and the Treasury, other Federal agencies, and the public in connection with international and war claims programs. 61 Inter-American Foundation ($ in thousands) Inter-American Foundation FY 2006 Actual 19,305 FY 2007 Estimate 19,268 FY 2008 Request 19,000 The FY 2008 request of $19 million will fund the Inter-American Foundation's (IAF) mandate to support programs that promote entrepreneurship, self-reliance, and democratic self-governance as a way to foster economic progress for the poor. A focus on innovation drives the IAF's work in Latin America and the Caribbean, such as its pioneering efforts to work with migrant organizations to help channel some of the vast amounts of remittances that immigrants send home each year into development activities for their home communities. In FY 2008, the IAF will continue its implementation of Opportunity Zones, one of President Bush's mandates from the 2005 Summit of the Americas. This program encourages a combination of business ownership, local investment and civic partnerships to bring people out of poverty in targeted areas. In addition, the IAF will continue to support the economic development initiatives of indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, as well as African-descendant communities, as part of its implementation of several Summit recommendations. The IAF will continue to expand its innovative program involving a partnership with an expanding network of 60 Latin American corporations and corporate foundations. Participating corporate partners share criteria for funding and a results measurement system based on IAF's experience with grassroots development, and exceed IAF contributions by a ratio of 2:1 to support local development initiatives. In FY 2008, the IAF will again support the President's priorities in Latin America and the Caribbean to reduce poverty, strengthen local democratic practice, and stem the flow of illegal immigration. 62 International Trade Commission ($ in thousands) International Trade Commission FY 2006 Actual 61,951 FY 2007 Estimate 62,575 FY 2008 Request 67,100 The International Trade Commission (ITC) is an independent, nonpartisan, Federal agency with a wide range of trade-related mandates. The ITC makes determinations with respect to unfair trade practices in import trade, as well as import injury and intellectual property-based investigations. It also exercises broad investigative powers on matters of trade, conducts economic research and factfinding investigations of trade issues, and provides technical information and advice on trade matters to Congress and the Administration. The FY 2008 request of $67.1 million for the ITC will fund activities related to these mandates. 63 Millennium Challenge Corporation FY 2006 Actual 1,752,300 FY 2007 Estimate 1,135,000 FY 2008 Request 3,000,000 ($ in thousands) Millennium Challenge Corporation For FY 2008, the President's budget requests $3.0 billion for the Millennium Challenge Corporation to continue to realize the President's vision of providing transformative assistance to those countries that govern justly, support economic freedom and invest in their people. The MCC budget request for FY 2008 is based on an estimate of the funds needed to conclude MCC Compacts with currently eligible countries that will be ready to enter into Compacts. MCC projects that it will sign additional Compacts with up to 6 countries in FY 2008 with a projected average Compact size of $400 to $500 million. MCC is intentionally increasing the average size of Compacts to support transformational growth and poverty reduction in our partner countries. Up to 25 percent of the appropriation will be used for Compacts with lower middle income countries (LMICs) in keeping with MCC's legislation. MCC legislation allowed for the consideration of LMICs for the first time in FY 2006. MCC has signed Compacts to date with 11 partner countries: Armenia, Benin, Cape Verde, El Salvador, Georgia, Ghana, Honduras, Madagascar, Mali, Nicaragua, and Vanuatu. Six of these 11 Compacts were signed during FY 2006 and the first quarter of FY 2007 (Armenia, Benin, El Salvador, Ghana, Mali, and Vanuatu). MCC has awarded $3 billion to Compact countries to address various barriers to poverty reduction and economic growth. These Compacts create plans of action for communities to reduce poverty. By the end of FY 2007, MCC expects to have Compacts signed with a total of 15 to 16 countries leaving an additional 9-10 countries in the pipeline. Disbursements will also begin to increase more rapidly in FY 2007 and even more so in FY 2008 as signed compacts move beyond the initial stages of implementation. MCC will allocate up to 10 percent of its FY 2008 appropriation for countries deemed eligible for Threshold Program assistance. Twenty countries in total have been selected by the MCC Board as eligible for Threshold Program assistance during the past four annual selection cycles, including the one most recently in November of 2006. The Threshold Program was created to help countries who have not yet qualified for MCA Compact funding, but have demonstrated a significant commitment to improve their performance on the eligibility criteria for MCA Compact funding. MCC now has a total of 11 Threshold Agreements representing $286 million in awards to Albania, Burkina Faso, Indonesia, Jordan, Malawi, Moldova, Paraguay, Philippines, Tanzania, Ukraine, and Zambia. These programs focus primarily on improving governance, especially on curbing corruption. Others focus on key social investments such an improving primary education rates among girls as well as the immunization rates. MCC has built a lean and talented staff of 300 to manage the development and implementation of MCC assistance programs, and has put in place policies and procedures to ensure that U.S. funds are used effectively and responsibly. MCC received an unqualified opinion on its most recent audit, and has worked closely with its Inspector General to review many of its procedures with a view to improving service delivery and management controls. In addition, MCC has taken a number of steps to improve compact development and implementation, including providing detailed guidance to eligible countries early in the process and helping countries put key implementation mechanisms in place before compacts enter into force. As a result, countries are providing more fully developed proposals to MCC, and are better positioned to hit the ground running on implementation. 64 Overseas Private Investment Corporation ($ in thousands) Overseas Private Investment Corporation FY 2006 Actual -161,076 FY 2007 Estimate -124,000 FY 2008 Request -159,500 The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) is a self-sustaining agency that mobilizes American private investment by providing political risk insurance and financing in support of U.S. foreign policy in 156 developing nations and emerging markets around the world. OPIC's FY 2008 budget is fully self-funded. From its estimated offsetting collections of $236 million in FY 2008, OPIC is requesting $47.5 million for administrative expenses and $29 million for credit funding. This amount will support over $1.45 billion in new direct loans and loan guaranties. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) will focus its efforts on quality projects that are highly developmental, based on both sector and geographic location. Based on U.S. development and foreign policy priorities, OPIC will place special emphasis on small business, investments in Africa, the broader Middle East, and Central America, and continue to increase private sector cooperation and increase the availability of housing for the developing world. Private sector investment support provided by OPIC is market driven, and as a result, efficiently aligns government resources with projects that are most likely to drive economic growth. For many countries that have moved beyond basic humanitarian assistance, OPIC is an effective and efficient way to promote private sector growth. OPIC's goal is to generate "additionality" on each transaction it conducts, meaning OPIC is able to add value to every investment it supports. 65 Peace Corps ($ in thousands) Peace Corps FY 2006 Actual 318,780 FY 2007 Estimate 324,000 FY 2008 Request 333,500 The FY 2008 budget request provides $333.5 million for the Peace Corps, an increase of nearly $9.5 million over the estimated FY 2007 level.

This request maintains the Agency's ability to spur economic development and advance U.S. commercial interests in developing and middle-income countries. TDA provides a bridge to U.S. technical know-how and experience for developing and middleincome countries. The focus of the Agency is unique in that it creates public-private partnerships in response to project sponsor needs and priorities. TDA funds help identify and prepare projects for implementation that will establish the infrastructure necessary for economies to expand. At the same time, the Agency's activities develop trade partnerships by enhancing the ability of U.S. firms to conduct business overseas. In carrying out its program, TDA leverages the resources of the U.S. private sector to advance the foreign policy priorities of the Administration by creating long-term commercial relationships between the private and public sectors of the United States and its partners in the developing world. The Agency uses various tools to facilitate U.S. business opportunities in the international marketplace. This support comes in the form of technical assistance, feasibility studies, orientation visits, training grants and conferences. The Agency's FY 2008 budget request encompasses USTDA's assistance programs that support key trade and foreign policy objectives of the Administration, including; 1) building the infrastructure for development by providing early investment analysis, including technical assistance and feasibility studies related to planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure projects; 2) providing technical assistance to facilitate the Administration's trade policy priorities identified during bilateral and multilateral negotiations and support for trade agreement implementation, including the strengthening of developing countries Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) regimes; 3) enhancing global energy security by providing investment analysis and technical assistance designed to identify, develop, and transport to market new oil and gas reserves to help diversify sources of supply, and to stimulate development of alternative fuels, deploy technologies that promote the clean and efficient use of resources, and improve energy efficiency and; 4) strengthening transportation safety and security by offering technical assistance to build capacity and comply with international safety and security standards. 67 United States Institute of Peace ($ in thousands) United States Institute of Peace FY 2006 Actual 22,065 FY 2007 Estimate 26,979 FY 2008 Request 30,000 The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) is an independent, nonpartisan, national institution established and funded by Congress.

Bank policies and assistance programs reflect U.S. priorities in promoting growth, increasing productivity, and reducing poverty in developing countries. The FY 2008 request for the IFIs of $1.499 billion is comprised of $1.324 billion for scheduled annual commitments and $175 million to pay a portion of outstanding U.S. arrears to the IFIs. Through U.S. leadership in the IFI replenishment negotiations, key policy reforms were initiated, reinforced and extended in these institutions. The reforms focus on improving debt sustainability, increasing grants, measuring results, increasing transparency and fighting corruption. Through the landmark G-8 Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative, 44 of the world's poorest and most debt vulnerable countries will be eligible to receive 100 percent cancellation of their multilateral development bank (MDB) debt. Debt sustainability frameworks adopted in IDA and the AfDF will help break the destabilizing lend-and-forgive cycle. IDA will provide approximately 30 percent of its total resources to the world's poorest and most debt vulnerable countries as grants, and the AfDF is also extending nearly one-third of its available resources as grants.

Results measurement systems have been expanded significantly through replenishment agreements with the adoption of measurable goals and targets and results-based management processes and standards. Continuing work is needed to ensure full implementation of resultsbased management in all the MDBs. Measures to improve transparency and efforts to fight corruption in countries, on bank projects, and in the institutions themselves have been strengthened. For example, the AfDB established a new anti-corruption and investigative unit, the IDB overhauled its procurement policies and practices to conform to best international practices, and AsDB significantly increased its in-country governance programs. In FY 2008, IDA will continue its independent assessment of its internal controls framework. Going forward, Treasury will continue to reinforce these key reforms and build upon achievements in the IFIs on managing for results, increasing transparency and fighting corruption, and ensuring the debt sustainability of the world's poorest countries. International Organizations and Programs (IO&P) The FY 2008 request of $289.4 million for voluntarily funded International Organizations and Programs (IO&P) will advance U.S. strategic goals by supporting and enhancing international consultation and coordination. This approach is required in transnational areas such as protecting the ozone layer or safeguarding international air traffic, where solutions to problems can best be addressed globally. In other areas, such as in development programs, the United States can multiply the influence and effectiveness of its contributions through support for international programs. IO&P funding snapshot (For a complete list of all programs funded under this account, please refer to the tables at the back of this volume.) · UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) -- $123 million to support the core budget of the which helps provide goods and services directly to the world's neediest children and contributes to the development of local institutional capacity to meet their basic needs.

Consistent with historic American ideals, this mission is also vital to U.S. national security. For democracy and freedom represent the best way of defeating ideologies that use terror as weapons and the surest means of building peaceful and stable societies. The mission requires equally bold diplomacy. American diplomacy must be transformational ­ seeking not just to report on the world as it is, but to change it for the better. Together with partners on every continent, the United States must work to promote effective democracy and responsible sovereignty. As a key national security institution, the Department of State presses the mission globally. American diplomats engage governments and publics around the world to advance U.S. security interests, development efforts, and democratic values together. The FY 2008 budget identifies the resources required by the State Department to meet the mission ­ the resources necessary to reorient the Department towards transformational diplomacy and position it to serve new national purposes.

The request for Ongoing Operations includes $359 million for vigorous public diplomacy to inform foreign opinion and gain support for U.S. foreign policy goals. To help win the war of ideas, increased funding will support focused efforts to combat violent extremism in strategic countries. The D&CP request also provides $965 million for Worldwide Security Upgrades to continue to strengthen the security of diplomatic personnel, facilities, and information in the face of international terrorism. The funding will extend the core program to upgrade security equipment and technical support, information and systems security, perimeter security, and security training. Funding increases will help to meet new security demands in all regions, including those of American Presence Posts. The FY 2008 budget provides $1.306 billion for the Border Security Program. Revenue from Machine Readable Visa (MRV) and other consular fees and surcharges will help fund continuous improvements in systems, processes, and programs to protect U.S. borders against the illegal entry of terrorists and others who threaten homeland security. The fees will address rising passport demand associated with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative and rising visa demand, including increases related to Border Crossing Card renewals. Capital Investment Fund (CIF) The FY 2008 request provides $71 million for the Capital Investment Fund (CIF) to continue to make investments in Information Technology (IT).
