In addition to resources programmed through the AGency's program bureaus, a total of $241 million is budgeted for transfer or other programming to various organizations in support of USAID development objectives. The purpose of these alliances is to develop a global consensus on programmatic strategies; to develop international programmatic coherency; to maximize program efficiency; and to mobiize the ideas, efforts, and resources from a wide range of organizations and other entities in global health and development.
The Economic Growth and Agriculture Pillar
African Development Foundation and Inter-American Foundation, $28 million: Within the Development Assistance request, $28 million is requested for transfer to the African Development Foundation and the Inter-American Foundation
The African Development Foundation (ADF) is an agency of the United States government that supports community-based, self-help initiatives that alleviate poverty and promote sustainable development in Africa.
The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) is an independent agency of the United States government. The IAF works in Latin America and the Caribbean to promote equitable, responsive, and participatory self-help development. It also enters into partnerships with public and private sector entities to scale uup support and mobilizes local, national, and international resources for grassroots development.
The Global Health Pillar
Within the Child Survival and Diseases Programs Fund, $213 million is requested: HIV/AIDS $47 million; Child Survival and Maternal Health $56.1 million; and UNICEF $110 million.
- HIV/AIDS, $47.0 million: The United States is calling upon international partners to support an international trust fund targeting HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, which focuses on an integrated approach emphasizing prevention, research and development, and care and treatment. The proposed fund would accept donations from both public and private entities and would fund proposals of governments as well as civil society, as authorized by existing legislation. The FY 2002 budget request includes $20 million for an international Trust FUnd.
In addition, a total of $27 million is requested for the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI), UNAIDS, and other relevant partnerships. UNAIDS provides global leadership and promotes global consensus on policy and programmatic approaches to fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic. UNAIDS responds to a wide range of sectors by strengthening the capacity of the United Nations system to monitor trends and by strengthening national governments to develop appropriate HIV/AIDS policies and strategies.
- Child Survival and Maternal Health, $56.1 million: USAID is requesting $50 million for our contribution to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunation (GAVI) fund. The gap between vaccine requirements and actual availability to children in developing countries and those available to children in the industrialized world is growing. To fulfill its mission of closing this gap and protecting children of all nations and of all socioeconomic levels against vaccine-preventable diseases, GAVI has established four strategic objectives: 1) to improve access to sustainable immunization services; 2) to accelerate the research and development for and introduction of new vaccines against diseases that are especially prevalent in developing countries, such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis; 3) to expand the use of all existing cost-effective vaccines; and 4) to make immunization coverage a centerpiece in the design and assessment of international development efforts.
In addition to USAID's on-going programs that address micronutrient deficiencies, USAID requests $6.1 million to launch partnerships to promote investment in the fortification, supplementation, and dietary intake of essential micronutrients such as Vitamin A, Iodine, Zinc, and Iron. Partnerships will focus on mobilizing private industry, multilaterals (e.g.l PAHO and WHO), and US foundations to strengthen policy and mprove functions targeting micronutrient fortification, supplementation and dietary intake.
- UNICEF, $110 million: USAID requests $100 million to contribute funds to UNICEF to mobilize political will and material resources to help countries, particularly developing countries, ensure a "first call for children" and to build their capacity to form appropriate policies and deliver services for children and their families.
