[Public Notice: 12226]


Determination Under Section 7012 of the Department of State, 
Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2023 
Relating to Assistance to Zimbabwe

    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 7012 of the 
Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 2023 (Div. K, Pub. L. 117-328) (SFOAA); Executive 
Order 12163, as amended by Executive Order 13346; and Delegation of 
Authority 513, I hereby determine that targeted assistance to Zimbabwe 
in the areas of health, good governance and respect for human rights, 
education, leadership, agriculture/food security, poverty reduction, 
livelihoods, family planning and reproductive health, macroeconomic 
growth (including anti-corruption efforts), helping victims of 
trafficking and combatting trafficking, and advancing biodiversity and 
wildlife conservation, as well as the continuation of assistance that 
would have a significant adverse effect on vulnerable populations if 
suspended, is in the national interest of the United States. I thereby 
waive with respect to Zimbabwe the application of section 7012 of the 
FY 2023 SFOAA with respect to such assistance.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register and, 
along with the accompanying Memorandum of Justification, shall be
