International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor — CFDA 19.345

DRL program obligations at $1.53 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,534,885,668.24 in obligations under CFDA 19.345. Thirty-two awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $47.97 million per award — far larger than a typical small-NGO grant and consistent with a handful of large implementing agreements. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical country program budget or a per-project cost.

The assistance-listing title is INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS AND LABOR. CFDA 19.345 is the identifier. Other State Department DRL or democracy listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.53 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined democracy-assistance total this packet does not contain.

20 recipients and a 0-state geographic field

Twenty recipients share 32 awards, or about 1.6 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.53 billion evenly would assign about $76.74 million per recipient. That pattern is a small implementer roster carrying very large agreements. The packet does not list the 20. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of countries or activists.

Zero states in the geographic count means this extract does not publish a domestic place-of-performance map. Overseas coding often leaves the state field blank. Do not invent a 50-state split. Place-of-performance amounts, if any, are on the program table.

Thirty-two awards on 20 recipients with stateCount at 0 is a concentrated overseas-implementer extract. About $47.97 million per award is large-agreement scale, not a small-NGO voucher. The $1,534,885,668.24 obligation stock is not a country scorecard, not an election-observation log, and not a USAID democracy rollup. Those streams use other CFDA numbers. Quote the blank state field as indexed, the 20 as named organizations, and the dollars as USAspending obligations. Thirty-two is the assistance-row count, not a country count.

Award count is not a country count

Among State Department assistance listings, 19.345 is a thin file: 32 rows against 20 recipients. Multi-year agreement rows can inflate award count relative to unique partners. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of democracy programs.” Recipients (20) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (32) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report countries, elections, or labor cases. Citing 32 as countries would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients — and a blank state field.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.53 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against DRL awards — are not in the packet. An implementer can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later performance period. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 19.345 to size this International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as USAID democracy, MCC, or refugee-admissions dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 19.345.

What the 19.345 tables omit

The DRL hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a country scorecard, not an election-observation log, and not an NGO directory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,534,885,668.24. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 32 award rows.

The 0-state geographic field is a coding result, not a finding that the program has no geography. Read the program page before treating recipient dollars as cash already spent overseas.

Where the 19.345 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 19.345 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other State Department listings. For 19.345 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 19.345’s 32 awards spread $1,534,885,668.24 across 20 recipients with stateCount indexed at 0. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About $47.97 million per award is the size story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Questions

How much is obligated for democracy, human rights, and labor programs?

USAspending.gov records $1,534,885,668.24 in obligations for CFDA 19.345. SpendingVault indexes 32 awards, 20 recipients, and 0 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not a country count. CFDA 19.345’s $1.53 billion is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 19.345 carry?

The listing shows 32 awards against 20 recipients, or about 1.6 award records per recipient. A simple average is about $47.97 million per award. Award count is not a country or NGO count. Recipient dollars are on the program page.

Why does 19.345 show 0 states?

The extract lists stateCount as 0. That is a blank geographic field on this packet, common when awards are coded overseas or to headquarters rather than a U.S. state. The packet does not invent a domestic map. Twenty recipients still sit on the 32 award rows.

Is $1.53 billion already paid to DRL implementers?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 19.345’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or countries served. The $1.53 billion on 32 awards is the obligation figure.
