Premium   Download PDF Now (18 pages)
Congress 117th
Date Requested July 28, 2022
Requested By House Committee on Foreign Affairs
Date Sent Oct. 3, 2022
Description:
H.R. 4134 would require the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to support increased access to high-quality secondary education for adolescent girls in developing countries and to report to the Congress on those activities. It also would require the agency to review and update the federal government’s global strategy to empower adolescent girls. In 2022, the Congress provided USAID almost $1 billion for its ongoing programs to support education. The focus of those programs is primary education and foundational skills; the agency currently provides limited assistance that would meet the bill’s requirements. For example, USAID plans to spend $11 million in Mozambique over the 2022-2027 period to provide girls and young women with expanded access to education, sanitation, and health services.
