Notes:
a. The Administration requested $114 million in security-related assistance and $223 million in economic-related assistance for Pakistan for
FY2019. Account estimates are not available to date.
b. This funding is “requirements-based;” there are no pre-allocation data.
c. Includes $312 million “global train and equip” funds from FY2006-FY2009 authorized by Section 1206 of the National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA) for FY2006, within which $100 million in FY2008 and FY2009 funds was for Pakistan’s paramilitary Frontier Corps.
d. Congress authorized Pakistan to use the FY2003 and FY2004 ESF allocations to cancel a total of $1.5 billion in debt to the U.S. government.
Also includes $17 million in Human Rights and Democracy Funds from FY2002-FY2007.
e. P.L.480 Title I (loans), P.L.480 Title II (grants), and Section 416(b) of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended (surplus agricultural commodity
donations). Food aid totals do not include freight costs.
f. Includes $286 million in Development Assistance appropriated from FY2002-FY2008.
g. CSF is Defense Department funding to reimburse foreign forces for logistical and operational support of U.S-led military operations; it is
technically not foreign assistance. Figures in the CSF row reflect actual payments by appropriation year. The FY2015 NDAA authorized
up to $1 billion in additional CSF to Pakistan, $300 million of which was subject to Haqqani Network-related certification requirements that
cannot be waived by the Administration. The FY2016 NDAA authorized $900 million, with $350 million ineligible for waiver. The FY2017
NDAA again authorized $900 million, but with $400 million ineligible for waiver. The FY2018 NDAA authorized $700 million, with $350
million ineligible for waiver. The Administration did not issue certifications for FY2015-FY2018. The NDAA for FY2019 revamped the
CSF program, authorizing $350 million to support security enhancement activities along Pakistan’s western border, subject to certification
requirements that have not been met to date. The Pentagon has requested $450 million for global CSF for FY2020.
h. The FY2013 NDAA disallowed reimbursements to Pakistan for the period of FY2012 during which the U.S. military’s ground and air lines of
communication across and over Pakistan to Afghanistan were closed by the Pakistani government (November 2011-July 2012).
