Stopping Tax Dollars from Funding Terrorists: Increased Oversight on Afghanistan Aid.
This law aims to prevent US foreign aid from directly or indirectly reaching the Taliban by requiring strict oversight and a new strategy. It mandates the government to identify and discourage foreign countries and organizations that support the Taliban, especially those receiving US assistance. This ensures greater accountability for how taxpayer money is spent internationally, focusing funds on humanitarian needs without benefiting terrorist groups.
Key points
The US must identify foreign countries and NGOs providing assistance to the Taliban and review whether they also receive US foreign aid.
A new strategy must be developed to discourage support for the Taliban while simultaneously supporting vulnerable Afghan women, girls, and at-risk allies.
Mandatory reports detailing the status of the Afghan Fund and how US-funded cash assistance programs in Afghanistan are managed to prevent the Taliban from accessing the money.
