Law

This bill, introduced by Senator Lee, would completely shut down the United States African Development Foundation. This is a government agency that provides small grants directly to local businesses and community groups in Africa.
The agency's main goal is to help people in poor or remote areas by funding projects for farming, clean energy, and small businesses. If this bill becomes law, all of these programs and the agency itself would be eliminated.
The proposal would repeal the 1980 law that created the foundation. It would also remove the agency from other federal laws that deal with global food security and international trade.
The bill's title suggests that the goal is to stop what the sponsor considers unaccountable spending and fraud. By closing the agency, the government would stop spending the millions of dollars currently used for these grants each year.
