This section covers commitments for economic assistance made by USAID and its predecessor agencies to LAC. Commitments include loan authorizations and obligations, and grant obligations.

Data include obligations for grants and loans from the Development Assistance (DA) funds, Economic Support Fund (ESF), and Food for Peace (PL 480) appropriations. Totals also include capitalized interest, which represents interest on loans that, rather than being paid when due, is added to the principal amount of the loan, and is thereafter treated as principal to be repaid with interest. Food for Peace is composed of Title I (sales agreements - administered by the US Department of Agriculture), Title II (food aid programs), and Title III (the food for development program).
