United States Department of StateWashington, D. C 20520The Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development play a critical role inmaintaining international peace and security. These two agencies stand on the frontlines ofglobal challenges that will shape Americans' lives and livelihoods for years to come. At thismoment of profound disruptions - including the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, the climatecrisis, rising authoritarianism, intensifying geopolitical rivalries, record numbers ofrefugees, anda technological revolution that carries both enormous promise and peril - U.S . diplomacy anddevelopment efforts are essential to uphold democratic values around the world and ensureAmericans' security and prosperity at home.The President' s FY 2023 budget, which includes 60.4 billion for the Department of State andUSAID, will make it possible for us to continue to lead the world in tackling global challengesand upholding the international system that the United States did so much to build.The President's request delivers on our commitments to the Ukrainian people and our Allies andpartners in Europe. It includes additional economic and security support for Ukraine to helpUkrainians defend their country from Russia' s premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustifiedinvasion. It also provides significant support to our partners in the region by supporting them ontheir paths toward democracy, Euro-Atlantic integration, and open market economies whilebuilding their capacity to counter coercive actions from external actors.Even as we focus on urgent needs in Ukraine, we must not lose sight of other acute challenges,including the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic that continues to affect people aroundthe world. To protect Americans and sustain the U.S. economic recovery, we must halt the globalspread of COVID-19 and bolster global health security systems to prevent the next pandemic.The President's budget request invests in combating global infectious diseases and bolsteringglobal health security through a new pandemic early warning network and health resilience fund.It strengthens the global health workforce and advances global research and health securityfinancing to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks. And it continuesessential global health programs that are more important than ever as COVID-19 continues tostrain local health systems and threatens to reverse the gains made in recent years againstHIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.The United States' longstanding scientific, technological, and innovation edge is a strategic assetthat underpins our national security, economic strength, and democratic values. The President' srequest will advance U.S. leadership in cyberspace and the digital economy while working toshape the norms and standards that govern transformative new technologies. It also supports theAdministration's Build Back Better World Initiative, which will help our partners build highquality infrastructure necessary for inclusive and sustainable growth by raising labor andenvironmental standards, promoting transparency, combating corruption, and partnering with theprivate sector, including American firms and workers, to address global infrastructure needs.This initiative offers a compelling alternative to the People' s Republic of China's Belt and RoadInitiative and other models of infrastructure which distort markets, fuel corruption, createunsustainable debt burdens, and degrade resources.v
The climate crisis is no longer something we must work to prevent - it has already begun, as wecan see from the historic droughts, fires, storms, and flooding that are affecting every region ofthe United States. To mitigate the most catastrophic outcomes of the climate crisis in thiscentury, we need to secure climate mitigation and adaption outcomes that are both aggressiveand ambitious. With 85 percent of annual global emissions coming from outside of the UnitedStates, we cannot do it alone- and we will not succeed without strong U.S. leadership. TheDepartment is working to lead by example and steward taxpayer dollars through our facilitiesand operations by deploying U.S. technologies and solutions that improve energy efficiency andoperational resilience. This budget request will enable the Department and USAID to advanceand scale up international climate programs and accelerate the global energy transition to netzero by 2050; help developing countries enhance resilience to the growing impacts of climatechange while promoting independence from non-renewable energy sources; and modelrenewable energy, climate adaptation, and sustainability principles in our domestic and overseasfacilities .We also face unprecedented and overlapping humanitarian crises, including global migration anddisplacement worsened by climate change, corruption, and conflict, including in Ukraine. Ourbudget request will allow the Department of State and USAID to execute the Administration' sRoot Causes Strategy to stem the flow of irregular migration from Central America by helping toprevent violence, reduce poverty and corruption, and expand jobs and educational opportunitiesin the region. This budget request will also help rebuild U.S. refugee admissions programs andrevitalize American leadership on humanitarian issues. It supports the Administration' s work toadvance human rights, racial and gender equity, and to increase the inclusion of underservedcommunities around the world- an effort that is ever more urgent as U.S. strategic competitorsseek to exploit social fractures to foment polarization, disinformation, and instability andundermine democracy and universal human rights.The United States cannot counter adversaries or solve global challenges alone. The President' srequest invests in our alliances and maintains our longstanding commitments to key partners. Itadvances peace, prosperity, and security across the Inda-Pacific and Europe; renews ourpartnerships in critical regions such as Central America; expands our diplomatic anddevelopment initiatives in Africa and Asia; and positions us to effectively compete with Chinaand Russia. By continuing our commitment to pay U.S . assessed contributions to internationalorganizations and UN peacekeeping missions on time and in full , this budget request affirmsU.S. leadership in those organizations, at a moment when our competitors are seeking to expandtheir influence. The budget request would also ensure that the United States participates as amember in good standing in the UN Security Council and other vital inter-governmental bodiessuch as the World Health Assembly that channel billions of dollars of resources and makecritical decisions affecting peace and security, the global economy, the environment, civilsociety, and assistance for refugees and displaced persons. The request also advances U.S.leadership by funding participation in international conferences, expositions, and the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation events that the United States will host in 2023. It strengthens U.S.partnerships by helping to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, including global education,ending hunger and malnutrition, and building more sustainable, equitable, and resilient foodvi
systems. The request also maintains funding for Afghanistan assistance and continued diplomaticoperations in support of our Afghan allies, recognizing these are dynamic, events-driven needs.Finally, this budget request continues urgent, necessary investments to build and transform ourtechnology and workforce, in line with the President's National Security Memorandum onrevitalizing national security institutions. It would enable the Department and USAID to meetcritical staffing gaps and attract and retain a diverse workforce with expertise in critical emergingfields. It would also expand our professional and development training capacity to help ourdiplomatic and development professionals build the skills they need to manage increasinglycomplex national security issues. And the request positions us to adopt and maintain moderntechnology to improve efficiency, collaboration, data analysis capabilities, and informationsecurity.We appreciate your continued support in providing resources for the U.S. Department of Stateand USAID to advance the interests of the American people, their safety, and economicprosperity.vii
BUDGET SUMMARYBUDGET SUMMARY AND TABLESBudget SummaryOverviewThe Secretary of State’s FY 2023 Budget Request for Diplomatic Engagement mobilizes coalitions to addressglobal challenges; shapes an international environment in which the United States can thrive; strengthensdemocratic institutions; modernizes the diplomatic workforce; and serves U.S. Citizens around the world.To achieve these goals, the FY 2023 Request for Diplomatic Engagement includes 17.5 billion in discretionaryappropriations, 5.0 billion in projected fee revenue, and 158.9 million in mandatory appropriations for theForeign Service Retirement and Disability Fund.Highlights of the Request include:Diplomatic Staffing, Operations, and Programs: 5.8 billionThe Department’s FY 2023 Request for Diplomatic Programs (DP) Ongoing Operations is 5.8 billion, including 5.1 billion for Program Operations and 701 million for Public Diplomacy. The Request is a net increase of 409 million (7.6 percent) from the FY 2022 Request. As part of the proposed workforce increase, the DPRequest supports 570 new positions, of which 250 would expand the Department’s Professional Development andTraining Float.

The CIF comprises about 15 percent of the Department’s total IT spendingacross all funding sources.Diplomatic and Embassy Security: 5.8 billionThe FY 2023 Request protects U.S. government personnel, facilities, and information both domestically andoverseas. The 3.8 billion Request for Worldwide Security Protection (WSP) within Diplomatic Programscontinues support for overseas security operations and personnel, countering emerging threats to the Department’semployees and others serving under Chief of Mission authority. This includes funding for Anomalous HealthIncident (AHI) monitoring and research, to counter the emerging threat of drones to diplomatic facilities, and tostrengthen our cybersecurity against malign actors.The FY 2023 Request of 2.0 billion for Embassy Security Construction and Maintenance provides for secure,safe, and functional diplomatic and consular missions overseas. Combined with other agency contributions, theRequest sustains 2.2 billion for the construction and maintenance of secure embassies. The FY 2023 Requestalso establishes a new accessible housing program to procure such residences at posts with a housing pool.International Organizations: 4.0 billionAs the United States’ competitors are seeking to expand their influence, the FY 2023 Request includes 2.3billion for U.N peacekeeping missions, including 730 million to begin paying down about 2/3 of the arrears that1
BUDGET SUMMARYhave accumulated since 2015. An improved U.S. financial standing will provide leverage in negotiations in theSecurity Council and General Assembly on needed reforms. The Request for Contributions to InternationalOrganizations is nearly 1.7 billion, positioning the United States to support our commitments to entities likeNATO, while continuing to press for needed reforms in certain international organizations as well.Consular and Border Security Program: 5.0 billion in new revenue and 3.8 billion in anticipatedspendingThe FY 2023 Request for the Consular and Border Security (CBSP) account reflects the continued recovery fromthe impacts of the pandemic. CBSP provides protection to the lives and security interests of U.S. citizens andcontributes to the security of the nation's borders. It is a core element of the coordinated national effort to denyindividuals who threaten the country entry into the United States and to facilitate the entry of legitimate travelers.The Request projects 5.0 billion in collections (enhanced by expanded fee authorities) and 3.8 billion inanticipated spending. The Department continues to request flexibility to better align fees with actual costs andadapt to fluctuations in global workload.2
