Malaria Reduction Progress Report: USAID must report on global efforts.

This bill requires the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to submit a report to Congress detailing the cumulative progress toward a 90 percent reduction in malaria by 2030, including incidence and mortality rates. While the act does not directly change daily life for U.S. citizens, it reinforces the government's commitment to global public health, which is deemed vital for protecting U.S. personnel serving overseas and maintaining stability in affected regions. Citizens gain transparency regarding the effectiveness of U.S. foreign aid programs, such as the President's Malaria Initiative.
Key points
Reporting Requirement: USAID must submit a report to Congress within 180 days on the progress toward the goal of 90 percent malaria reduction by 2030.
National Interest: The bill emphasizes that fighting malaria is in the U.S. national interest, protecting Armed Forces members and reducing instability in less developed countries.
Program Support: Congress reaffirms support for key initiatives like the President’s Malaria Initiative and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
