Title: Multilateral Development Banks: Current Authorization Requests
Authors: Jonathan E. Sanford, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: The Administration has asked Congress to authorize U.S. participation in three new funding plans for multilateral development bank (MDB) concessional aid programs. In total, the three plans would authorize the appropriation of $1.2 billion annually for these programs, a small increase in the amount currently authorized for these programs. The Administration states that it has been very successful in its efforts to promote policy reform or procedural change in the MDBs.
