Publisher description
Original publisher: Washington, D.C. (P.O. Box 37050, Washington, D.C. 20013) : The Office, [1997]. OCLC Number: (OCoLC)40306133 Subject: Budget process -- United States. Excerpt: ... Figure 6: Trends in Bilateral Assistance Funding, Fiscal Years 9, 000 1992-97 ( 1997 dollars in millions ) 8, 000 7, 000 6, 000 5, 000 4, 000 3, 000 2, 000 1, 000 0 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 Fiscal years One of the more significant developments in the U.S. foreign aid program is the participation of new recipients - the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Aid to these countries accounts for 18 percent of all assistance since 1992 and is consuming a greater share of a decreasing aid pie - from 8 percent of bilateral assistance in 1992 to 20 percent in 1997. Aid for these countries includes grants for training and technical assistance to facilitate development of democratic institutions and market economies. Assistance to Bosnia is now the single largest program of U.S. aid in this region - about $ 240 million in fiscal year 1997. Also of note is the amount of aid that has gone to alleviate problems associated with localized conflicts - " hot spots " such as Somalia, Bosnia, and Haiti. Since 1993, more than $ 1 billion has been spent on these three conflicts, including funds for humanitarian assistance and food aid. USAID has had to meet part of these requirements by shifting Typically, funds from other ongoing bilateral assistance programs. Page 13 GAO / T-NSIAD-98-18 International Affairs Budget
