      "title": "U.S. Global Health Priorities: USAID's Global Health FY2003 Budget",
      "summary": "Global health has become a major focus of the U.S. foreign assistance program. Congressional\nproponents of more health assistance have successfully increased appropriations above\nAdministration requests in recent years. Some have challenged the Administration's FY2003 budget\nproposal during the foreign operations debate, particularly the manner in which the Administration\nproposed the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) allocate its funds. It\nrequested a $36 million increase in FY2003 for global health programs. It proposed that more than\n40% of the global health budget be spent on HIV/AIDS activities, up substantially from the previous\nfiscal year. USAID emphasized that HIV/AIDS affects all sectors of societies, and thus it is a\npriority in global health. Some in Congress have expressed concern about the consequences of\nspending a significant portion of global health funds on HIV/AIDS, and suggested that more money\nbe spent on other programs, namely infectious diseases and child survival. As Congress debated\nfunding levels for FY2003 global health activities it discussed several issues including: global health\nfunding versus other development assistance programs, and increasing funding to HIV/AIDS at the\nexpense of other global health programs. This report will be updated as needed.",
