DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 12227]


Determination Under Section 620(q) of the Foreign Assistance Act 
of 1961 Relating to Assistance to Zimbabwe

    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 620(q) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA), Executive Order 12163, and 
Department of State 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 and thereby waive the 
application of section 620(q) of the FAA with respect to such 
assistance.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register and, 
with the accompanying Memorandum of Justification, shall be transmitted 
to Congress.

    Dated: September 28, 2023.
Richard Verma,
