The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is submitting this report pursuant to the provisions of the Transition Initiatives (TI) account contained in the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47, Division F), which direct USAID to “submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations at least five days prior to beginning a new, or terminating a, program of assistance” when using TI funds.
USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) anticipates launching a new program using TI funds to implement activities in Angola that will support a current window of opportunity to strengthen efforts to counter foreign malign influence, bolster U.S. security around critical minerals, and advance U.S. investment by strengthening stability through economic and political reforms.
