Bill 119 s 280, also known as the "Foreign NGO Access Act," aims to prevent certain restrictive eligibility requirements from being applied to foreign nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in relation to the provision of assistance under part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
The bill seeks to ensure that foreign NGOs are not unfairly excluded from receiving assistance based on arbitrary or discriminatory criteria. By prohibiting the application of these restrictive eligibility requirements, the legislation aims to promote greater access to aid for foreign NGOs that are working to address critical global issues such as poverty, health, and human rights.
Overall, Bill 119 s 280 is designed to support the efforts of foreign NGOs in providing essential assistance to those in need around the world, without facing unnecessary barriers or obstacles. The bill emphasizes the importance of collaboration and cooperation between the United States and foreign NGOs in addressing pressing international challenges.
