African Development Foundation Termination Act of 2026
HR 7605, the African Development Foundation Termination Act of 2026, abolishes the U.S. African Development Foundation (ADF) 120 days after enactment. The bill requires the Foundation to cease all new grants, loans, or agreements immediately, wind down operations within 120 days, and transfer all remaining funds to the Treasury’s general fund and assets/records to the Department of State for managing existing multi-year grants until completion. It also repeals the law creating the ADF (the African Development Foundation Act) and mandates a report to Congress for technical adjustments to the U.S. Code. This directly affects the ADF’s operations, employees (who would face reductions in force), and current grant recipients whose projects continue under State Department oversight.
