  4. The FY16 Omnibus bill (P.L. 114-113) states that, of the funding appropriated for bilateral assistance, "not less than $575,000,000 should be made available for family planning/reproductive health," and provides an additional $32.5 million for the U.S. contribution to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). In recent years, final funding amounts for FP/RH have been higher than the enacted level. For instance, enacted FP/RH funding in FY15 totaled $610 million ($575 million for bilateral programs and $35 million for UNFPA), but the final funding level for FP/RH (bilateral and UNFPA) in FY15 totaled $616 million.

  12. FY16 is based on funding provided in the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016” (P.L. 114-113) and is a preliminary estimate. Final family planning numbers may differ from the initially enacted level as the FY16 omnibus bill specified the minimum level of bilateral FP funding ($575.0m through the GHP and ESF accounts), not the actual level. For example, final FY15 FP funding totaled $616.0m for bilateral programs and the U.S. contribution to UNFPA. Final FP funding for FY16 is expected to follow suit.
