Ends the United States African Development Foundation, stopping its programs in Africa.

This bill would end the United States African Development Foundation (USADF). If passed, the USADF would stop its work supporting development projects in Africa. This means people who currently get help from the USADF would no longer receive that support.

What Would Change

Today, the United States African Development Foundation (USADF) operates as a U.S. government agency, providing support for development projects in Africa. If this bill becomes law, the USADF would be terminated, meaning it would no longer exist or provide any funding or programs.
