2016 Appropriations Outcomes
Saves
• Tuberculosis funding received a 19 percent cut in the administration’s FY16 budget but was
restored to the FY15 level of $236 million.
• Global Fund was cut to $1.1 billion by the administration’s budget and Congress restored
the final funding to FY15 level of $1.35 billion, which keeps the U.S. in a leadership position
as we enter a Global Fund replenishment year.
• Basic Education funding was again restored to $800 million.
• TOTAL restored: $495 million
Wins
• Increase of $25 million to the Global Partnership for Education. This increases the funding
by 56 percent over FY15 levels.
• Increase of $35 million to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and to the overall Maternal and Child
Health (MCH) Account. This maintains that Gavi’s increase to meet the $1 billion over 4 year
pledge is not at the expense of other MCH programs.
• Increase of $10 million to Nutrition account over FY15 levels and $24 million over the
President’s budget request! This big sign of bi-partisan support from Congress provides
additional leverage for a bold pledge as the U.S. approaches the second Nutrition for
Growth pledging conference in Rio Brazil in August 2016.
• TOTAL of $70 million more to these programs in FY16.

Here’s a Laser Talk for the Start of 2016
Voices That Change the World
RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people.
Together we use our voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end
poverty.
As volunteers, we receive training, support, and inspiration to become skilled
advocates.
In time, we learn to effectively advise policy makers, guiding them towards
decisions that improve access to health, education, and economic opportunity.
Together we realize the incredible power we possess to use our voices to
change the world.
