This tracker provides U.S. global health funding data by program area and country. It includes Congressionally appropriated (planned) funding amounts from FY 2006 – FY 2023, as well as obligations and disbursements from FY 2006 – FY 2025 (FY 2025 data are partially reported). Data were obtained from ForeignAssistance.gov (see About This Tracker below for more details). For examples of analyses that can be done using this tracker, please expand the section below.

About This Tracker
The U.S. is the largest donor to global health in the world, providing bilateral (direct country-to-country) support for U.S. global health programs in over 75 countries in FY 2023 (through appropriated/planned funding), with additional countries reached through U.S. regional efforts and U.S. contributions to multilateral organizations. This tracker provides historical data on bilateral U.S. government funding for global health by country, region, and income-level. It presents data on country-specific global health funding channeled through the Department of State (State) and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID); these agencies account for approximately 85% of all U.S. funding for global health. Funding channeled through other agencies – the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Department of Defense (DoD) – is not included, as these data are not available at the country-level. Funding directed to “regional” or “worldwide” programs, which may reach additional countries, is also not included. See our companion resource, KFF U.S. Global Health Budget Tracker, to view data on U.S. funding for global health overall, including funding channeled through these other agencies. Data in this tracker present three transaction types:
- Appropriated: funding amounts based on Congressional appropriations for a given fiscal year which may be obligated and disbursed over a multi-year period;
- Obligations: binding agreements that will result in disbursements (or outlays), immediately or in the future, and
- Disbursements: actual paid amounts (an outlay of funds) to a recipient in a given year.
These amounts will be updated as new data become available. Queried data can be downloaded using the button within the interactive, and the full data can be downloaded here.
