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.

All children deserve a strong start in life, regardless of where they are born. But malnutrition has having devastating and lifelong consequences for children and their families. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, progress on malnutrition was not happening quickly enough. Write your local paper (and encourage others to as well) and ask your senators bring the Global Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment Act of 2021 to a vote. The House version has passed that chamber plus the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; we need the Senate to bring the legislation to a floor vote. (Word version)

Use our Action Workshop Agenda (Word version) to host a meeting where you can inspire others to action in your community.
