[1] The total number of development programs is not the sum of CDF and Title II programs because all but one CDF program is in tandem with a Title II program.

[2] The total number of countries is not the sum of countries by funding account because many programs overlap geographically and each country is only counted once.

[3] Other operations included twinning, resilience-building programs, agricultural vouchers, monitoring and evaluation, etc.
