Abstract:

Plan Colombia was developed by former President Pastrana 1998-2002 as a six-year plan to end Colombias long armed conflict, eliminate drug trafficking, and promote economic and social development. The Andean Counterdrug Initiative ACI is the primary U.S. program that supports Plan Colombia. In addition Colombia receives assistance from the Foreign Military Financing FMF program and the Department of Defenses central counternarcotics account. ACI funding for Plan Colombia from FY2000 through FY2005 totals approximately 2.8 billion. When FMF and DOD assistance is included, the total level of U.S. support to Colombia is 4.5 billion. The Administration has requested Congress to continue support for Plan Colombia beyond FY2005, with an additional 463 million in ACI funding, and 90 million in FMF requested for FY2006
