The African Development Foundation assists and supports indigenous,
community-based self-help organizations in their efforts to solve their
own development problems.
The African Development Foundation was established by the African
Development Foundation Act (22 U.S.C. 290h) as a nonprofit Government
corporation to support the self-help efforts of poor people in African
countries. The Foundation became operational in 1984 and is governed by
a seven-member Board of Directors, appointed by the President with the
advice and consent of the Senate. By law, five Board members are from
the private sector and two are from the Government.
The purposes of the Foundation are to:
--strengthen the bonds of friendship and understanding between the
people of Africa and the United States;
--support self-help development activities at the local level
designed to promote opportunities for community development;
--stimulate and promote effective and expanding participation of
Africans in their development process; and
--encourage the establishment and growth of development institutions
that are indigenous to particular countries in Africa and that can
respond to the requirements of the poor in those countries.
To carry out its purposes, the Foundation makesgrants,loans, and
loan guarantees to African private groups, associations, or other
entities engaged in peaceful activities that enable the people of Africa
to develop more fully.
