The semi-permanent program code "PX" is assigned to track funds for Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) - Africa. Funds are appropriated yearly in the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Program Appropriations Acts. PKO-Africa activities are authorized by section 551 of the Foreign Assistance Act, as amended (22 U.S.C. Section 2348). In addition, "PZ" is assigned for the same purpose to be used when Case Designators for "PX" are exhausted. The program codes support the Building Partner Capacity Long Term Solution. The policy in the attachment is incorporated into the DSCA SAMM at https://samm.dsca.mil.

Instructions for preparation of "PX" and "PZ" Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) documents will be provided along with the rest of the Building Partner Capacity Long Term Solution Guidance. Standard notes applicable to Building Partner Capacity (BPC) programs are found in the SAMM, Appendix 6, LOA Notes Listing. Funding associated with "PX" and "PZ" LOAs will be fully expended, and cases will be reconciled and closed two months before the funds' cancellation date.

If you have any questions concerning this guidance or for general questions about the SAMM, please contact DSCA (Office of Strategy, Plans, and Policy, Execution Policy and Analysis Directorate (SPP/EPA)) at dsca.ncr.spp.mbx.epa@mail.mil.
