Overseas refugee assistance for Near East — CFDA 19.519 totals

OVERSEAS REFUGEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR NEAR EAST, CFDA 19.519, shows $509.5M in USAspending.gov obligations. SpendingVault’s extract lists 188 awards and 54 recipients. The file does not include a state count. The $509.5M is an assistance-award commitment total, not Treasury outlays and not a count of people assisted.

Key figures

  • CFDA 19.519 shows $509.5M in USAspending obligations, not outlays or people assisted.
  • The extract lists 188 awards and 54 recipients.
  • No state count is supplied; this is an overseas listing in the rollup.
  • The packet does not split dollars by country or activity type.

One hundred eighty-eight awards carrying $509.5M

USAspending.gov records $509.5M in obligations on assistance awards tagged 19.519. SpendingVault reprints that catalog total. The listing title names an overseas refugee assistance program for Near East. That title is a catalog label, not a camp census in this extract. The packet does not split the $509.5M by country, partner, or activity type. This guide will not invent that split.

No fiscal year is attached. If an implementing-partner report cites a different Near East refugee total, match the CFDA number before adding that report to $509.5M. Other refugee-assistance listings covering other regions are other catalog rows. Keep 19.519’s obligation sum on its own line. One hundred eighty-eight awards at this dollar scale is a mid-volume overseas assistance file.

The packet has no median award size. Do not divide $509.5M by 188 and publish the quotient as a typical refugee-assistance grant. Amount-sort on the hub is the check. Activity — protection, health, or other — is not in the packet. Award titles on the table are the place to see what USAspending stored.

188 awards on 54 implementing-partner identifiers

Fifty-four recipients hold 188 awards. That pattern is compatible with international organizations and NGOs receiving multiple awards over time. The packet does not classify the 54. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers, not a count of field offices or people served.

A 54-name list is short enough to scan on the program hub. Repeat identifiers mean the same organization received more than one recorded award. Repeat appearance is not a finding about humanitarian performance. Camp-population counts and ration figures are not in this extract. Partner-match dollars are not added to this federal obligation sum.

No U.S. state count on an overseas listing

The extract’s state count is 0 in the packet, which this guide reads as: no U.S. state geography is supplied in the rollup, not as a claim that awards have no locations. An overseas refugee listing can still have awards whose USAspending country fields exist on individual rows. This four-field summary simply did not include a stateCount fact.

Do not treat a missing state count as proof of a domestic program, and do not invent a country table the packet omitted. The honest geographic tool is the 188-row table. If country fields are blank on a row, this guide will not fill them. The $509.5M remains an obligation sum on 188 awards to 54 recipients.

Refugee-assistance obligations are not outlays to households

Appeals documents, host-government budgets, and other donors’ pledges are different ledgers. CFDA 19.519’s $509.5M is USAspending assistance-award obligations on this Near East listing. Mixing those sources into $509.5M would build a homemade “all Near East refugee aid” figure the packet does not support.

Outlays are payments. Obligations are commitments. Humanitarian awards can draw after the obligation date. This extract does not report outlays or people assisted. Cite $509.5M as recorded commitments on 188 awards. Do not describe the sum as money already in a field-office cash box.

Not a combined refugee-assistance catalog

Other overseas-assistance listings can sit near 19.519 on the all-programs index because their obligation totals occupy a similar band. Similar scale is not similar region. Do not add this $509.5M to a neighboring CFDA. Keep Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East on its own catalog row.

Opening the 19.519 table

The Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East page lists the 188 awards and 54 recipients behind $509.5M. The missing state count will not be filled in here; use award-level location fields if they exist. Agency pages are a different USAspending cut; this packet does not name the awarding agency, so the $509.5M stays on the CFDA card. Camp-population counts remain a different file than this obligation rollup. Cite $509.5M only as the CFDA 19.519 obligation total on SpendingVault. Camp-population counts are not this CFDA 19.519 extract.
