Support for Foreign Health and Human Rights Organizations

This act aims to make it easier for foreign non-governmental organizations to receive financial assistance from the U.S. government. It ensures these organizations won't be disqualified for providing health services, including counseling, funded by non-U.S. government sources, as long as these services comply with local and U.S. law. This could increase access to health services and support in developing countries.
Key points
Foreign non-governmental organizations can still receive U.S. assistance even if they provide health services (including counseling) funded by non-U.S. government sources, as long as they comply with the law.
Rules for lobbying and advocacy activities for foreign organizations will be the same as for U.S. organizations, ensuring equal treatment.
