U.S. Funding for International Nutrition Programs
Issue Brief
With the exception of FY16 and FY17, all funding totals in this analysis represent the final planned funding level for that fiscal year. FY16 is a preliminary estimate (nutrition funding provided through the ESF and DA accounts is determined at the agency level and is not yet known for FY16; for comparison purposes, FY16 funding totals through these accounts are based on prior year levels) and FY17 represents the President’s budget request.
