S. 3748, the "Terminate Unaccountable Spending, Abuse, Deception, and Fraud Act," would shut down the United States African Development Foundation, a federal agency established in 1980 that provides development assistance and grants to African nations and organizations. The bill repeals the African Development Foundation Act and removes references to the foundation from three other pieces of legislation: the Trade and Development Act of 2000, the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, and the Global Food Security Act of 2016. This action would end the foundation's operations and its authority to distribute U.S. development funds in Africa. The bill contains no specific funding amounts or implementation timeline beyond the repeal itself, meaning the foundation would cease to exist upon the bill's enactment. The legislation was introduced by Senator Mike Lee and referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
