US Global Aid Strategy: Ending Preventable Maternal and Child Deaths by 2030.
This Act establishes a new, coordinated US foreign assistance strategy aimed at eliminating preventable deaths of mothers, newborns, and children globally by 2030. While focused on international aid, it directs federal funds (tax dollars) toward supporting health systems in high-need countries, specifically targeting the most vulnerable populations. Citizens can expect greater transparency in foreign aid spending due to the requirement for annual progress reporting.
