States that such strategy should include a plan to work with Nigeria and other international partners to liberate Boko Haram's kidnapping victims.

Authorizes the President to provide humanitarian and development assistance to the populations in Boko Haram-affected areas. Makes funds available for such assistance pursuant to final judgment of a specified legal case.

Expresses the sense of Congress that the President should support efforts by the people of Boko Haram-affected areas and the governments of Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, and Niger to:

  • assist internally displaced people and returnees;
  • enhance the administrative competency of state and local governance institutions and public agencies in northeast Nigeria;
  • provide all children with a quality basic education while ensuring student and faculty safety;
  • strengthen the operational capacity of the civilian police in Nigeria, and strengthen measures to prevent corruption; and
  • promote programs to address physical harm and psychosocial trauma.

Expresses the sense of Congress that:

  • the Secretary of State and Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) should work with Congress to increase future assistance to support reconstruction activities if Nigeria demonstrates a commitment to transparent reconstruction in Boko Haram-affected areas of Nigeria, and
  • the Secretary should withhold assistance if Nigeria is not committed to transparent reconstruction and reconciliation in the Boko Haram-affected areas of Nigeria.
