Final fiscal year 2023 round up; wins in the year-end omnibus

In late December, the 117th Congress passed their omnibus funding bill for fiscal year 2023 (FY23) after months of negotiations. Excitingly, the final bill includes modest increases for our global funding priorities. These updated funding levels for tuberculosis, nutrition, and global education will make an enormous difference in the fight against global poverty.

House bill includes $2 billion for Global Fund, modest increases to other global accounts

This week the House of Representatives’ Appropriations Committee marked up their fiscal year (FY) 2023 State and Foreign Operations subcommittee (SFOPS) spending bill. This legislation authorizes funding for U.S. foreign assistance programs through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department. The bill increases global health assistance 12 percent over the FY 2022 level. Overall the bill provides modest annual increases for most of the accounts that RESULTS tracks. Excitingly, the House matched our level of ambition on the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by proposing a funding level of $2 billion for FY23 as the first installment of a three-year pledge of $6 billion.

House passed bipartisan malnutrition bill—now onto the Senate!

For months, we have been asking our members of Congress to co-sponsor the Global Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment Act. And our advocacy is paying off! After receiving more than 100 bipartisan co-sponsors, the House of Representatives passed the bill last week. This is a promising signal of U.S. commitment to ending preventable child deaths caused by malnutrition. But our work is not done—we also need to make sure this bill passes in the Senate!

Together Women Rise Advocacy: Vaccine Access & Nutrition (Oct. 2021)

Our failure to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are available those in low-income countries is an embarrassment. It has also heightened the risk of dangerous variants emerging as COVID-19 spreads, unchecked, in unvaccinated parts of the world. It’s outrageous, so we must let congressional leaders and the Administration hear our outrage. Check out the recording and slides (pdf version) from our webinar and click the title above for more details on actions you can take to show your outrage.
