The African Development Foundation Termination Act of 2026 would abolish the United States African Development Foundation, a federal agency that provides development assistance in Africa, within 120 days of the bill's enactment. During this wind-down period, the Foundation would be prohibited from awarding any new grants, loans, or project agreements, though it would continue overseeing existing multi-year grants until they expire. Any unspent money would be returned to the Treasury, while all remaining assets, records, and liabilities would transfer to the Department of State for liquidation purposes. The bill also repeals the underlying African Development Foundation Act and requires the State Department to propose technical amendments to federal law to reflect the agency's elimination. Foundation employees would receive notice of layoffs according to standard federal reduction-in-force procedures.
