    The African Development Foundation's goals are to alleviate poverty and
    promote broad-based sustainable development and empowerment in Africa;
    to expand local capacity to promote and support grassroots,
    participatory development; and to enhance and strengthen U.S. relations
    with Africa through effective development assistance.
    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;

    [[Page 362]]

        --develop and replicate new models for community reinvestment; and
        --establish strategic partnerships with national and local
    governments, other donor agencies, and the local private 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.
