This bill aims to terminate the United States African Development Foundation , an independent U.S. government agency established to support African-led development initiatives. The legislation, officially titled the "Terminate Unaccountable Spending, Abuse, Deception, and Fraud Act," seeks to end the Foundation's operations by repealing the African Development Foundation Act. To fully dismantle the agency, the bill includes several conforming amendments to existing U.S. laws. These amendments would strike all mentions of the United States African Development Foundation from acts such as the Trade and Development Act of 2000, the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, and the Global Food Security Act of 2016, thereby eliminating its legal framework and ceasing its activities.
