6 2016 Appropriations Outcomes January 2016 RESULTS National Conference Call/Webinar Slides 5 Saves Tuberculosis funding received a 19 percent cut in the administration’s FY16 budget but was restored to the FY15 level of $236 million. Global Fund was cut to $1.1 billion by the administration’s budget and Congress restored the final funding to FY15 level of $1.35 billion, which keeps the U.S. in a leadership position as we enter a Global Fund replenishment year. Basic Education funding was again restored to $800 million. TOTAL restored: $495 million Wins Increase of $25 million to the Global Partnership for Education. This increases the funding by 56 percent over FY15 levels. Increase of $35 million to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and to the overall Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Account. This maintains that Gavi’s increase to meet the $1 billion over 4 year pledge is not at the expense of other MCH programs. Increase of $10 million to Nutrition account over FY15 levels and $24 million over the President’s budget request! This big sign of bi-partisan support from Congress provides additional leverage for a bold pledge as the U.S. approaches the second Nutrition for Growth pledging conference in Rio Brazil in August 2016. TOTAL of $70 million more to these programs in FY16.
