I need statistical information regarding monetary FOREIGN AID given by
the United States. I need which countries recieve the foreign aid (all
countries not just the top 10 or so forth), and how much they recieve
in USD($). I need these statistics to be from a reliable source (as in
not some persons homepage but an agency, organization, governmental
department, etc). A link is sufficient as long as it contains all of
this information. MUST BE STATISTICS FROM 1999-2003... 2000 ideal!!!!

Dear tenebrousb,

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) offers extensive
information on what countries receive what amounts of financial aid.
Those figures are published annually in the USAID Congressional
Presentation. In the 2002 Congressional Presentation, you will find
among other data for every country:
- Actual 1999 figures
- Actual 2000 figures
- Estimated 2001 figures
- Requested funds for 2002

Below, I have listed the direct links to the presentation's sections
relating to the various regions of the world. Following those links
will take you to the lists of countries receiving foreign aid. Click
on a country's name to access its particular report, where you will
find a link to "Summary Tables > Program Summary". That link will take
you to tables listing the amounts of monetary aid that country
received.

In case you would like to also read USAID'S other annual Congressional
Presentations, you will find those by following the below link to
their budget information side, and then scrolling down a bit to the
paragraph titled "Congressional Budget Justification". There is a menu
that will give you access to the USAID presentations for the years
1997 to 2004:

I hope that this is what you were looking for!

1)  The FY 2004 Congressional Presentation contains the actual aid
level for FY 2002, the _estimated_ level for FY 2003, and the
_requested_ level for FY 2004.  CPs for other years follow the same
pattern.

2)  The figures listed are for _economic_ assistance; we also provide
military assistance.

3)  The following is the accepted USG source for historical data:

U.S. Overseas Loans and Grants, published by USAID.  Assistance covers
the Post War Relief Period (1946-48), the Marshall Plan Period
(1949-52), the Mutual Security Act Period (1953-61), and the ongoing
Foreign Assistance Act Period (1962-2000). For further explanation on
the Report's coverage, see the Foreword.

The report covers both economic and military assistance.  The
definitions are arcane, following the Development Assistance Committee
definitions.

If you need more information, please let me know.
