The State Department uses some of this money to provide countries with emergency aid and development programs.
The State Department is already providing Myca with early education and women’s empowerment development programs. When you factor in the cost of these programs and the humanitarian needs after the disaster in Myca, their budget needs are now greatly increased.
This is a difficult decision.
The early education and women’s empowerment development programs will help Mycan people, especially women, have a better, more prosperous future.
On the other hand, Myca’s immediate need is to get through the hurricane crisis. Congress is always budget-conscious when it comes to foreign aid because the United States has so many needs at home. Getting Congress to increase Myca’s aid budget would require strong advocacy.
