Transparency in Foreign Assistance Act

This bill directs the Secretary of State to have the State Department's Bureau of African Affairs and its Coordinator for Counterterrorism run a one-year pilot program. Under the program, these officials would send extra information to certain congressional committees about new and existing foreign assistance programs that need additional funding. The notices would include items such as where the program runs, how it is funded, total costs, who carries it out, its goals, and whether it is overspending or underspending. The notices would go to the foreign affairs and appropriations committees of the House and Senate.
