Paul Simon Act receives FY2011 funding; reporting is late

Congressional Appropriations Update

Senate and House foreign operations bills are appropriating a level of $315 million in Fiscal Year 2011--the same funding level as FY2010--to continue to implement the Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act. That landmark Act, coupled with Congressional appropriations of recent years, is allowing USAID and State to strengthen long-term programs on behalf of safe, affordable and sustainable drinking water, sanitation and hygiene in high-priority countries.
