Bill > HR5250

This bill establishes a new Director of Foreign Assistance Oversight within the Department of State to improve coordination and strategic management of U.S. foreign assistance programs. The Director will be responsible for developing comprehensive foreign assistance strategies, coordinating interagency assistance planning, and providing senior-level leadership for foreign aid programming across the U.S. government. Key responsibilities include integrating foreign assistance strategies with broader U.S. foreign policy objectives, supporting collaboration with agencies like the Millennium Challenge Corporation and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, generating performance assessments, and overseeing the vetting of foreign assistance recipients. The bill also creates an Office of Foreign Assistance Oversight to support the Director's work, with functions such as coordinating assistance funding, improving strategic oversight, ensuring program transparency, and generating data-driven performance assessments. Additionally, the bill authorizes appropriations for the Under Secretary for Foreign Assistance for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 and provides guidance for the Office of Law Revision Counsel on how to classify the bill's sections in the U.S. Code.
