U.S. Aid to Security Sector Actors (USASSA) Dataset
Welcome to the official repository for the USASSA Dataset. This project provides a systematic, global tracking of unclassified U.S. security assistance from 2000 through May 2026. Developed via a collaboration between academic researchers and the Security Assistance Monitor (SAM), the dataset consolidates qualitative line-item notifications into mutually exclusive, exhaustive typologies of aid type and recipient type.
Overview
As security assistance becomes an increasingly critical component of foreign policy, the need for detailed, comprehensive data is paramount. The USASSA dataset bridges the gap between raw government disbursement logs and rigorous academic analysis.
- Geographic Scope: 192 United Nations member states.
- Temporal Coverage: 2000 to 2026.
- Granularity: Disaggregates security assistance into 14 functional aid types (e.g., material support, military training, security sector reform) and 8 recipient types (e.g., ground forces, police, civil authorities).
