Bill > HR6347

This bill reauthorizes the Global Child Thrive Act of 2020 and makes several key changes to existing law regarding assistance to orphans and vulnerable children. Specifically, the bill requires the Secretary of State to appoint a Special Advisor for Assistance to Orphans and Vulnerable Children within 90 days of the act's enactment, extending the requirement originally established in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The bill also extends the timeframe for issuing implementing directives from 1 year to 6 years and extends the authorization of the original Global Child Thrive Act from 2025 to 2030. These provisions aim to provide continued support and oversight for programs assisting orphans and vulnerable children internationally, ensuring that the U.S. government maintains a dedicated focus on this humanitarian effort through the end of the decade.
