    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 makes grants, 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.
