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. Country-level data include some regional funds where such funds were directly allocated to field missions. 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 capitalize d 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 agr eements – administered by the US Department of Agriculture), Title II (food aid programs), and Title III (the food for development program).

Definition: Latin America Regional Program is the office of Regional Sustainable Development (RSD) which treats sectoral issues.

Notes: Total assistance to Latin America and the Caribbean incorporates total USAID assistance to the Caribbean, Central America and South America, as well as funding for the LAC Regional Program, which provides services to thes e three sub-regions. Data are in millions of current US dollars and correspond to US fiscal years, ending September 30th. Figures for 1997 are preliminary.[an error occurred while processing this directive]
