African Development Foundation Termination Act of 2026

# African Development Foundation Termination Act of 2026 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** If passed, this bill would shut down the African Development Foundation (ADF), a U.S. government agency that provides grants and technical assistance to help African communities with development projects like small business support, agriculture, and infrastructure. The bill would terminate the organization's operations and likely redirect or eliminate its funding. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect African communities and organizations that currently receive ADF grants and support. It would also impact ADF employees and potentially U.S.

foreign aid efforts in Africa. American organizations that partner with the ADF on development projects would also be affected. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee review (HR 7605, introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Tim Burchett, R-TN). This means it has not yet advanced to a full House vote and has not been debated or voted on by the broader Congress.
