Description

In March 2014, the World Health Organization reported an Ebola outbreak in West Africa and, as of June 2016, reported that the outbreak had resulted in more than 11,000 deaths in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. USAID and the Department of State initially funded Ebola activities using funds already appropriated. In December 2014, Congress appropriated approximately $2.5 billion to USAID and State, in part, for international efforts to prevent, prepare for, and respond to an Ebola outbreak and mandated that the agencies report periodically on their use of the funds. Congress also allowed the agencies to reimburse accounts for obligations incurred for Ebola activities prior to the FY 2015 appropriation. This report examines (1) USAIDäó»s and Stateäó»s obligations and disbursements for Ebola activities; and (2) the extent to which USAID made reimbursements in accordance with the FY 2015 appropriations act. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
