The Honorable Jesse Helms

Chairman, Committee on Foreign Relations

United States Senate

Dear Mr. Chairman:

As you requested, we have tabulated total U.S. contributions to

international organizations and programs (that is, intergovernmental

bodies having three or more members) from fiscal year 1993 to 1995,

exclusive of peacekeeping contributions. We also identified which U.S.

agencies expended these funds and how much each agency spent in those

years.

Your request resulted from your concern about the lack of clarity

regarding how much the U.S. government was providing in total to

international organizations and programs and which agencies were

providing these funds.

Background U.S. contributions to international organizations and programs are

classified as either “assessed” or “voluntary.” Assessed contributions are

considered obligations that member states agree to pay when joining an

international organization. Voluntary contributions are often made by

various U.S. government agencies to support a specific program or activity

conducted by an international organization. In some instances,

organizations receive both assessed and voluntary contributions from the

United States. According to the Department of State, the multilateral

institutions to which the United States contributes and in which it

participates generally help ensure that U.S. interests are fairly and

equitably considered in international forums. They also help guarantee

that the United States has access to vital public health, transportation

safety, and other information.

Results in Brief For fiscal years 1993 to 1995, the United States contributed approximately

$6.3 billion to 130 international organizations and programs—around

$2 billion each year. As shown in table 1, this amount includes about

$2.7 billion in assessed and about $3.6 billion in voluntary contributions.

Total $2.101 $2.096 $2.098 $6.295 –0.1

Note: Numbers have been rounded and are in nominal (unadjusted) terms.

The Department of State expended the largest amount of these funds

(about $5.2 billion), with the U.S. Agency for International Development

(USAID) spending the second largest total ($1.1 billion). Other agencies that

spent large amounts of funds included the Department of Health and

Human Services (HHS), the Department of Commerce, and the Department

of Agriculture (USDA).

For fiscal years 1993-95, appendix I provides details on the international

organizations and programs that received U.S. assessed contributions.

Appendix II provides details of the recipients receiving U.S. voluntary

contributions. Appendix III details the recipients of both U.S. voluntary

and assessed contributions. Appendix IV specifies the amounts of

contributions paid by U.S. federal agencies and departments.

How Assessed and

Voluntary

Contributions Were

Distributed

Assessed Contributions Of the approximately $6.3 billion in assessed and voluntary contributions

in fiscal years 1993-95, about $2.7 billion, or 42 percent, came from funds

appropriated by Congress specifically for assessed contributions to 

68 international organizations and programs; this amount was paid by the

Department of State. As table 1 indicates, during the period assessed

contributions decreased 3.4 percent, from $913 million to $882 million. As

shown in appendix I, about 98.4 percent of U.S. assessed contributions

were paid to 20 recipient organizations or programs (see table I.1). The

Page 2 GAO/NSIAD-97-42 Multilateral Organizations
B-276655 

remaining 48 other organizations and programs received about 1.6 percent

of U.S. assessed contributions.

Assessed contributions declined for 18 international organizations and

programs from fiscal year 1993 to 1995. The most noteworthy decrease in

payments of assessed contributions was assumed by the U.N. Food and

Agriculture Organization (FAO). FAO received $19.6 million less in fiscal

year 1995 than it did in fiscal year 1993, a decrease of nearly 

20 percent. During the same period, payments of assessed contributions to

the United Nations decreased $54 million, or 17.3 percent. Lower

payments of assessed contributions to these two organizations accounted

for 96 percent of the decreases in funds from U.S. assessed contributions

during fiscal years 1993 and 1995. According to the Department of State,

this decline occurred because in fiscal year 1993, the United States made

substantial arrears payments to both organizations in addition to the

annual assessed contributions, whereas in fiscal year 1995, similar arrears

were not paid.

On the other hand, payments of assessed contributions to the North

Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) increased nearly 40 percent, or

$10.7 million, between fiscal year 1993 and 1995. The Organization for

Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) saw its funds increased

by 17.5 percent, or $8.9 million, from assessed contributions in those same

fiscal years.

Voluntary Contributions As shown in table 1, about $3.6 billion, or 58 percent, of the approximately

$6.3 billion in total contributions was paid through voluntary contributions

to international organizations and programs in fiscal years 1993-95. During

that period, voluntary contributions increased from about $1.19 billion to

about $1.21 billion, or 2.4 percent. As shown in appendix II, 20

international organizations and programs received on average 95 percent

of the U.S. voluntary contributions between fiscal year 1993 and 1995 

(see table II.7).

The most noteworthy decrease in payments of U.S. voluntary

contributions was to the International Organization for Migration, which

received about $68.7 million less in fiscal year 1995 than it did in fiscal

year 1993, a decrease of 86.86 percent. On the other hand, the United

Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) received a 141.38-percent increase, or

Page 3 GAO/NSIAD-97-42 Multilateral Organizations
B-276655 

$20 million, in U.S. voluntary contributions during those same years 

(see table II.7).1

U.S. Agencies’

Funding of

International

Organizations and

Programs

Of the total amount paid for these fiscal years, about $5.2 billion was from

State’s appropriations ($2.7 billion in assessed and $2.5 billion in voluntary

contributions). Other voluntary contributions included about $1.09 billion

from USAID, about $8.8 million from HHS, about $3.6 million from the

Department of Commerce, and about $3.7 million from USDA. Ten other

federal agencies and departments paid about $13.2 million in voluntary

contributions.

Contributions supporting U.S. participation in international organizations

and programs are administered primarily by the Department of State or

USAID. All assessed contributions are paid by the State Department;

however, voluntary contributions may be paid by State and other

executive agencies. For example, U.S. assessed contributions paid to FAO

come from State, with voluntary contributions funded by USAID and USDA.

Agency Comments The Departments of State and Interior and USAID provided written

comments on a draft of this report. The other agencies covered in this

report provided specific technical suggestions and observations to

improve the clarity and accuracy of the draft. We have incorporated these

changes in the report where appropriate. Agency comments are reprinted

in their entirety in appendixes V through VII.

Scope and

Methodology

We designed a data collection instrument to obtain information on all U.S.

assessed and voluntary contributions to international organizations and

programs. We distributed the data collection instrument to 15 executive

departments and agencies.2

 These departments have the responsibility to

fund or have historically voluntarily funded international organizations

and programs.

Next, we used the data collected to develop tables to describe the agency

contributions to the 130 international organizations and programs. While

This reflects a 1993 executive branch decision to remove any conditions on assistance for family

planning that are not explicitly prohibited by the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 or any other law. Prior

to 1993, these conditions had rendered UNFPA ineligible for U.S. funds because of UNFPA’s support

for the Chinese government’s family planning program.

B-276655 

tabulating the contributions made to the United Nations, we consolidated

a number of small contributions made to various programs and offices of

the United Nations into one total for the U.N. Secretariat.3

 We did not

independently verify the data submitted in our data collection instrument;

however, we did reconcile the contribution expenditures with published

sources and verified the accuracy of the numbers in our database against

the data submitted to us. We also reviewed our analysis of the data with

agency officials to help further ensure the accuracy of our computations.

To compute information on assessed contributions, we used the State

Department’s annual reports to Congress for U.S. contributions to

international organizations and programs. As agreed with your staff, we

did not collect data on contributions to international financial institutions

or contributions that related to peacekeeping operations.

All reporting agencies provided expenditure data except USAID, which

provided obligation data, along with the formula it uses to convert the

obligations into estimated amounts expended for the contributions.

We conducted our review between November 1995 and October 1996 in

accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

We are sending copies of this report to the Environmental Protection

Agency; USAID; the U.S. Information Agency; and the Departments of

Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, HHS, Housing and Urban

Development, Interior, Justice, Labor, State, Transportation, and the

Treasury.

The programs and offices consolidated included the U.N. Afghanistan Emergency Trust Fund, the

U.N. Capital Development Fund, the U.N. HABITAT, the U.N. Trust Fund for Women, the U.N. Trust

Fund for South Africa, the U.N. Volunteer Fund for Victims of Torture, the U.N. Volunteers, the U.N.

Fellowship Program, and the U.N. Guatemalan Peace Process.
