The African Development Foundation was established by the African Development Foundation Act (22 U.S.C. 290h) as a Government corporation to support the self-help efforts of the poor in Africa. The Foundation awards grants and cooperative agreements to African private organizations to do the following: --promote micro- and small-enterprise development that will generate income and employment; --improve community-based natural resource management for sustainable rural development; --increase participation of African grassroots enterprises and producer groups in trade and investment relationships with the U.S. and within Africa; and --promote community-based HIV/AIDS intervention programs. In addition, the Foundation works within Africa to perform the following tasks: --build self-supporting, sustainable, local community development agencies that provide technical assistance and support to grassroots groups; --develop and replicate new models for community reinvestment; and --establish strategic partnerships with national and local governments, other donor agencies, and the local private [[Page 364]] sector, to support sustainable, grassroots development. Finally, the Foundation works within the United States to gather resources for grassroots development through strategic partnerships with the U.S. private sector, American philanthropic organizations, and other U.S. Government agencies, and to expand U.S. funding for grassroots development activities.
