Require BHA partners to adopt stricter anti-terrorism vetting

What has happened

1. May 14, 2026 Partially done

   Operationalised: for the first time OCHA established Accountability and Impact Teams, embedded at country-team level, to "identify, assess, mitigate and respond to issues of waste, fraud, abuse and diversion in the field" and to share oversight metrics with the United States and other major donors, alongside a public dashboard of all allocations under the U.S. contributions. `partial` and not `done`: this is an oversight regime imposed on a U.N. administrator, not a requirement that implementing partners adopt stricter counter-terrorism vetting, and the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance the Quote names no longer exists.

   • State Department: additional $1.8 billion to OCHA pooled funds, bringing the total to $3.8 billion across 21 countries; 13 percent of the first contribution obligated to local partners

   Diversion controls were imposed on the channel that now carries most U.S. humanitarian funding, though not as partner vetting. The "Humanitarian Reset" memorandum of understanding conditions U.S. money on country-level policy agreements with "powerful new impact, accountability, and oversight mechanisms".
