Summary 

The Treasury Department requests $1.4 

billion for International Programs in 

FY 2019. In recognition of the 

Administration’s prioritization on national 

defense and security as well as a streamlined 

Federal Government that makes the best 

possible use of taxpayer dollars, we will 

support the most critical investments in 

multilateral development institutions, while 

ensuring that U.S. contributions are set at an 

appropriate level relative to our partner 

countries. These investments by Treasury’s 

International Programs strengthen U.S. 

national security, economic growth, and 

influence by advancing a more secure, 

economically prosperous, and Democratic 

world. In recent years, Treasury has driven 

shareholder support for the implementation of 

key reforms at the multilateral development 

banks (MDBs) aimed at improving 

governance, development effectiveness, and 

financial efficiency, and Treasury continues 

to pursue additional major reforms at several 

of the institutions. These include improved 

monitoring and evaluation, stronger 

independent compliance functions, more 

efficient use of capital, and a larger allocation 

of lending to the world’s poorest countries. 
Department of the Treasury – Budget in Brief 

Multilateral Development Banks 

Our request includes $1.3 billion for the 

multilateral development banks (MDBs). The 

MDBs play key roles in the effort to increase 

global economic growth and reduce poverty, 

which advances U.S. foreign policy objectives 

of sustaining peace and stability, promoting 

security, and combatting terrorism. 

International Development Association 

(IDA): $1,097 million in support of IDA 

programs over the eighteenth replenishment 

(IDA-18; FY 2018 – FY 2020), including 

towards the second of three installments to 

IDA-18. 

African Development Fund (AfDF): $171.3 

million in support of AfDF programs over the 

fourteenth replenishment (AfDF-14; FY 2018 

– FY 2020), including towards the second of 

three installments to AfDF-14. 

African Development Bank (AfDB): $32.4 

million towards the eighth of eight 

installments under the AfDB’s Sixth General 

Capital Increase (GCI-6). 

Asian Development Fund (AsDF): $47.4 

million in support of AsDF programs over the 

eleventh replenishment (AsDF-12; FY 2018 – 

FY 2021), including towards the second of 

four installments to AsDF-12. 

Environmental Trust Funds 

Global Environment Facility (GEF): $68.3 

million in support of GEF programs over the 

seventh replenishment (GEF-7; FY 2019 – 

FY 2022), including towards the first of four 

installments to GEF-7. 

Food Security 

Global Agriculture and Food Security 

Program (GAFSP): No funding is requested 

in FY 2019. 

International Fund for Agricultural 

Development (IFAD): No funding is 

requested in FY 2019. 

Treasury Office of Technical Assistance 

Treasury Office of Technical Assistance 

(OTA): $30 million to help ensure that OTA 

is able to respond quickly and in a sustained 

way to growing demand for technical 

assistance in areas that are priorities for the 

United States. Such areas 

include: supporting our national security 

agenda by combating terrorist financing and 

financial crimes, reducing countries’ 

dependence on foreign financial aid through 

improved domestic resource mobilization, and 

creating the conditions for private sector-led 

economic growth. This consists of improving 

the climate for private sector investment in 

infrastructure projects in developing and 

transitional countries.
