Dear Senator,
We, the undersigned members and partners of InterAction, write to urge you to
support strong funding for international development and humanitarian assistance
accounts in FY2014 as outlined in the attached account-level recommendations. With
ongoing developing crises in Syria and Mali, and with critical work still to be done to
combat extreme poverty around the world, we urge you to make necessary U.S.
investments in vital programs in order to meet the rising need.
As you may know, InterAction is the worlds largest alliance of U.S.-based
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), working in every developing country around
the world. Our 180-plus member organizations and dozens of partners act because our
compassion, and for some our faith, calls us to do the right thing: help the worlds
poorest and most vulnerable citizens. Our work helps people and countries lift
themselves out of poverty, building better lives for themselves and their children.
These development programs build sustainability by helping family farmers increase
their productivity, improving health, getting children to attend and learn in school, or
providing access to safe water and sanitation. Our member organizations also operate
humanitarian relief programs which provide emergency access to food, medical
assistance, water and shelterhelping to save lives and alleviate the suffering of those
who have been affected by natural and man-made disasters such as conflict, drought
and floods. We are able to do this work year in and year out through the generosity of
millions of Americans who support our efforts, as well as through partnership with the
U.S. government, which invests in these programs through the International Affairs
Budget (150 account).
While U.S. federal spending on poverty-focused development and humanitarian relief
amounts to only seven-tenths of 1% of the total U.S. budget, overwhelming needs still
exist across the globe. Violence in Syria has displaced 2 million people and resulted in
over 1 million refugees, further destabilizing the Middle East. Political instability,
coupled with severe drought, has displaced 300,000 people in the Sahel and affected

more than 9 million more. Another 13 million people have been affected by drought in
the Horn of Africa. These and other hotspots demand active and engaged U.S.
diplomacy and assistanceboth of which depend on strong funding of theinternational affairs account. Commitment and nimble investment in these regions
now can help local people and communities build sustainable institutions that reduce
the need for aid over the long term.
We understand todays difficult fiscal climate requires redoubled efforts to protect
every taxpayer dollar and ensure the government funds the most effective programs,
which generate real results. Thats why we dont just advocate for funding but also for
smart and effective policies and practices within all of these accounts. We advocate for
greater transparency and accountability to ensure we are delivering results. Our field
experience in working directly with people in need ensures reliable information ontangible outcomes. By working together, we can help people around the world lead
more prosperous, sustainable and healthier lives.
Given the strong practical and moral arguments for investing in our international
development and humanitarian programs, and the small fraction of the federal budget
those programs constitute, we urge you to support strong funding for vital
international development and humanitarian accounts. We understand that there may
be proposals forthcoming from the Administration and Congress to restructure
particular programs such as food aid and we look forward to discussing them in a
transparent manner in the future. At this point, we have based our attached FY2014funding recommendations for the U.S. governments poverty-focused international
development and humanitarian relief programs on current funding structures and our
decades of experience and analysis.
Thank you for giving serious consideration to our recommendations.
