Key Points
This bill creates a one-year test program to help Congress keep a closer eye on how the U.S. spends money on foreign aid. It specifically focuses on programs managed by the Bureau of African Affairs and the counterterrorism office.
The State Department would be required to give Congress specific details for these programs, including the name of the project, which country it is in, and exactly how much money it will cost over its entire lifetime.
The reports must also include information on who is actually doing the work, such as a private company or an international group, and whether the project is currently over or under its budget.
By requiring these details, the bill aims to make sure tax dollars are being used effectively and that programs are meeting their goals before more money is spent on them.
