------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 invests in private and nongovernmental organizations 
in Africa to promote and support innovative enterprise development, 
create jobs, and increase incomes of the poor. It seeks to expand local 
institutional and financial capacities to foster entrepreneurship, 
ownership, and community-based economic development.
    The Foundation also works within the United States, in African 
countries, and with other nation states to gather and expand resources 
for grassroots development. It achieves this through strategic 
partnerships with U.S. and international private sector corporations, 
African host governments, U.S. and other government agencies, and 
philanthropic organizations.
