– Priority Rebuilding• DRC $ 88 million• Liberia $140 million• Sudan $806 million*

*Sudan monies include emergency humanitarian assistance, and are therefore not comparable to other bilateral allocations.After making this adjustment, these seven countries still account for 62 percent of FY2008 bilateral allocations.
