Global Health, Empowerment and Rights Act
Introduced: Jan 28, 2025
Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
The Global Health, Empowerment and Rights Act removes eligibility restrictions that previously barred foreign nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) from receiving U.S. foreign assistance for health services and advocacy activities. It ensures that foreign NGOs providing health or medical services are not deemed ineligible solely on that basis and that they are not subject to U.S. advocacy or lobbying requirements that do not apply to U.S. NGOs.
Key Points
- 1Prohibits ineligibility of foreign NGOs for health or medical services funded by non‑U.S. sources.
- 2Exempts foreign NGOs from U.S. advocacy and lobbying eligibility requirements.
- 3Maintains eligibility for assistance under Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act.
- 4Preserves U.S. government authority to determine eligibility otherwise.
- 5Applies to all foreign NGOs regardless of location or funding source.
