USADF - A Model for Foreign Assistance
The United States African Development Foundation is an independent Federal agency established to support African-designed and African-driven solutions that address grassroots economic and social problems. USADF provides grants of up to $250,000 directly to under-served and marginalized community groups and enterprises. The grants help organizations create tangible benefits such as increasing or sustaining the number of jobs in a community, improving income levels, and addressing social development needs. USADF is a public corporation with a seven member Board of Directors who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate. The following six key principles serve as guidelines for all USADF management planning, budgeting, and evaluation activities. These priorities help ensure USADF stays true to its mission.
1. Invest in African ideas;
2. Focus on marginalized communities in Africa;
3. Rely on African programming management;
4. Ensure projects result in ongoing income generation and address social
development needs;
5. Operate with high efficiency, low overhead; and
6. Model the highest level of openness and transparency.
