S. 1054, introduced in March 2025, would abolish the United States African Development Foundation (USADF), a federal agency established in 1980 to support development projects in Africa. The bill repeals the African Development Foundation Act entirely and transfers all of USADF's functions, assets, and unexpended balances to the Secretary of State and the Department of State. The legislation does not require the agency's current officers to be reappointed under the State Department, and any legal references to USADF would automatically be updated to reference the State Department instead. The bill would affect USADF employees and the African development programs currently administered by the foundation, which would be consolidated into State Department operations. The legislation does not specify a particular effective date or transition timeline beyond the date of enactment, nor does it include funding provisions, as the existing USADF appropriations would transfer to State Department management.
