Abstract:

The United States has provided assistance to Central American countries for many years to address poverty, weak governance, and insecurity. This assistance has been administered by multiple federal agencies in support of several initiatives, including the Central America Regional Security Initiative (CARSI) and the U.S. Strategy for Engagement in Central America (Strategy).You asked us to review the assistance provided to Central America. In this report, we provide information on the status of funding for U.S. assistance to Central America from fiscal years 2013 through 2018 as of March 30, 2019. According to State Department officials, after March 30, 2019, State began the process of reprogramming certain unobligated balances for funding previously designated for the Northern Triangle countries. For example, on at least 3 occasions, State has notified Congress of its intention to reprogram funds previously designated for Northern Triangle countries. However, the data in this report does not reflect any reprogramming decisions made after March 30, 2019.
