President/Chief Executive Officer - U.S. African Development Foundation

THE FOUNDATION

History

The African Development Foundation over the past thirty years has established a foreign assistance model that works. More than $200 million has been invested in African development projects in more than twenty-five countries. These investments have focused on indigenous African organizations, enterprises, and other activities that benefit underserved and marginalized communities.

The Foundation has a compelling mission among U.S. foreign assistance programs. Its unique approach of pro-actively engaging marginalized community groups in the design and implementation of development projects, and its African led and managed on the ground presence results in sustainable outcomes that best address the unmet needs of a local community. This approach to development gives Africans greater participation and ownership. The majority of grants have resulted in creating and sustaining jobs, increasing income levels, and improving social conditions.

The Foundation strongly serves the national interests of the United States through its focused mission and its capability to achieve economic development in isolated, marginalized, and post-conflict areas of Africa. These results achieve goodwill toward the United States and help to alleviate the underlying conditions that drive these communities, particularly the youth, to participate in anti-U.S. activities.

The Foundation has achieved remarkable results that include the replacement of twenty-eight aging and unhealthy water wells for nomadic Tuareg populations in a Sahel conflict region of Niger. In the Sahel region, USADF delivered assistance where other U.S. agencies did not have resources to operate and respond to emergency situations.

For Zimbabwe, the Foundation quickly initiated targeted foreign assistance to the most vulnerable and aging communities to assist with sustainable agriculture and food security projects. USDF’s most recent performance assessment has generated an additional 3.7 dollars of new revenues for each dollar disbursed.

In Liberia, for example, the Foundation began economic development programs in a post-conflict zone in an expedited timeframe. It has been recognized for its successful program by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia.

Most recently, the Foundation concluded an agreement with the Government of Kenya to begin programming in the isolated Turkana area, generating a significant level of grassroots goodwill. It has been recognized for its leadership role.

USADF’s portfolio also includes: the Union Communale des Associations des Femmes de Pobe, ADJIDO Economic Interest Group, Khama Rhino Sanctuary Trust, Ragussi, Veiga Alves, Integrated Tamale Fruit Company, Yenok Woods Products, and others.

As a thoughtful and proactive steward of funder relationships, s/he will broaden and strengthen SFC's base of support and raise awareness of the organization and its mission statewide.
