United States Security Assistance Effectiveness Act

This bill creates a new Office of Security Assistance within the State Department to improve coordination and effectiveness of security assistance programs. It establishes a Coordinator for Security Assistance who will oversee planning, monitoring, and evaluation, and requires all relevant State Department bureaus and diplomatic posts to designate personnel for coordination. The bill mandates new training for personnel on security assistance processes, creates a common database to track all security assistance programs, and requires regular assessments of program effectiveness. It also establishes a framework for planning security assistance based on country-specific assessments and requires annual reporting to Congress. These changes aim to improve the strategic use of U.S. security assistance to promote U.S. security interests and partner capacity.
