Since 1951, the United States has given significant funding to Pakistan. U.S. bilateral aid to Pakistan started in 1951. Pakistan received $2 billion dollars between 1953 and 1961.
By the early 1960s, aid reached $400 million per year. At its height, during the first half of the 1960s, U.S. assistance was more than half of all foreign aid to Pakistan, covering one-third of Pakistan’s development budget and financing half its import bill. By 1982, the United States was giving Pakistan $5.1 billion dollars per year. The aid has been intermittent, dependent on Pakistan’s behavior. U.S. aid has traditionally been tied to security imperatives. The United States suspended assistance both during the Indo-Pakistan wars and following Pakistan’s construction of a uranium enrichment facility in 1979. Pakistan reemerged as an ally in the 1980s during the Soviet Union’s occupation ain the recipient of aid. But the amount of aid dropped again following the withdrawal of Soviet troops in the late 1980s.

In the 1990s, the United States began giving aid to Pakistan, with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)’s office there employing over 1,000 people, one of the largest in the world.
But in the 1990s, the United States again stopped providing funds to Pakistan because of the Pressler amendment. Enacted in 1985, the Pressler amendment specifically prohibited U.S. assistance or military sales to Pakistan unless annual certification was issued that Pakistan did not have a nuclear explosive device. This certification was denied in October 1990, triggering wide-ranging sanctions against Pakistan. In 1995, USAID closed its mission and pulled out of Pakistan. Aid started again in early 2001, after USAID received specific legislative authority to work with the Pakistani government in education.
Since September 11, 2001, the United States has once again given significant quantities of aid to Pakistan. After the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States began to see Pakistan first and foremost as an essential ally in the War on Terror. USAID sought to engage Pakistan as an ally by providing aid. A USAID mission reopened in Pakistan in 2002, as part of the office of the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan. It is this post-2002 period which is the focus of this paper.
