H.R. 601, Reinforcing Education Accountability in Development Act (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 115th
Date Requested June 5, 2017
Requested By the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
Date Sent June 8, 2017
Description:

H.R. 601 would codify many of the practices and programs relating to education assistance at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The act would establish the position of Senior Coordinator within USAID to coordinate federal efforts to improve basic education in other countries, conduct oversight of those efforts, develop an integrated strategy to promote basic education, and report to the Congress. USAID has indicated that a similar position already exists but that the agency would require one employee for the additional administrative support and reports that would be required under the act. On the basis of that information, CBO estimates that implementing the act would cost less than $500,000 each year and total $1 million over the 2017-2021 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
