Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This bill renews U.S. programs that aim to prevent conflict and help stabilize fragile regions. It requires top officials to meet every year to make sure plans for selected countries match current U.S. policy, fix gaps, and better coordinate diplomacy, development, and security efforts. The meeting is led by a senior leader and includes key officials from State, USAID, Defense, Treasury, and other agencies working on conflict prevention and stabilization .
It also renews two main funding streams—the Prevention and Stabilization Fund and the Complex Crises Fund—and makes clear that money can support planning, management, and learning about what works (monitoring and evaluation), including related diplomatic and operational work tied to the Global Fragility Strategy. It allows the Economic Support Fund to be used for these learning activities in the countries chosen for this strategy, even if other laws would normally limit that use .
