Welcome

Seven United States Government (USG) agencies and departments - the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Health and Human Services, and Labor, and State; and the Peace Corps and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) – provided approximately $2.8 billion to implementing partners in FY 2010 for 1,710 projects to assist vulnerable children and their families in 107 countries.

We are helping millions of children, yet millions more are suffering due to poor governance, conflict, disaster, disease, and poverty deepened by the global recession. With the increasing number of children in need, tight funding, and a multi-USG agency response, it's more important than ever to use PL 109-95 to improve the coordination and coherence of the overall USG program and make the impact on children of our collective effort greater than the sum of its individual parts.
