African Development Foundation Termination Act of 2026
Abolishing the African Development Foundation
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- This bill would completely shut down the United States African Development Foundation. This is a small government agency that currently gives grants and loans to community groups and small businesses in Africa to help them grow and create jobs.
- If this becomes law, the agency would have 120 days to close its doors. During that time, it would be banned from starting any new projects or giving out any new money to organizations.
- Any money the agency hasn't spent yet would be sent back to the U.S. Treasury. The State Department would take over the agency's records and oversee any existing projects until they are finished.
- The people who work for the agency would lose their jobs. The bill requires the government to give these employees official notice that their positions are being eliminated because the agency is closing.
