This bill reauthorizes and expands the Global Fragility Act of 2019, which aims to prevent conflicts and stabilize fragile regions worldwide to protect U.S. national security. The legislation extends funding for two key funding mechanisms—the Prevention and Stabilization Fund and the Complex Crises Fund—through 2030 (previously set to expire in 2024), and allows the President to add new priority countries beyond the currently designated ones while discontinuing support in Haiti and Libya, which no longer meet fragility criteria. The bill strengthens coordination among federal agencies by requiring annual high-level steering committee meetings, designating the State Department's Counselor to lead implementation, and establishing staffing requirements across relevant departments including Defense, Treasury, and the U.S. Development Finance Corporation. Additionally, the legislation mandates a study and strategy report within 180 days on expanding these conflict-prevention principles globally and identifies necessary reforms to overcome barriers to effective conflict prevention, such as addressing diplomatic security constraints and establishing sustainable coordinator positions in fragile countries. No specific dollar amounts are specified in the bill text, but it authorizes continued appropriations and allows use of existing Economic Support Fund money for monitoring and evaluation activities.
