Ends the United States African Development Foundation, stopping its grants and operations.

This bill would shut down the United States African Development Foundation. This means the Foundation would no longer offer new grants or loans. Its current employees would receive notice about job changes, and its remaining funds and assets would be moved to other government departments.

What Would Change

Today, the United States African Development Foundation actively provides grants, loans, and other agreements for development projects. If this bill becomes law, the Foundation would be abolished 120 days later. It would immediately stop all new financial commitments, and its remaining functions and assets would be transferred to other government agencies.
