Open the books on US Foreign Aid

The Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act of 2013 would release more information about where US dollars go and what results they achieve.

Government officials, entrepreneurs, and everyday citizens need more timely, detailed, and comparable information about where US foreign assistance resources are going. More US transparency enables leaders in countries receiving poverty-reducing aid to hold their governments accountable for how resources are invested on behalf of people living in poverty.
