U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 290h. Congressional findings
The Congress finds that -
(1) social and economic development ultimately depends on the
active participation of individuals within a society and on the
enhancement of opportunities for those individuals;
(2) the development of individuals and institutions in African
countries can benefit by the provision of support for
community-based self-help activities;
(3) by enacting title IX of chapter 2 of part I of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 [22 U.S.C. 2218], and recent amendments to
that Act, the Congress has sought to enable the poor to
participate in the process of development;
(4) the Inter-American Foundation, established by Congress in
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1969 [22 U.S.C. 290f], to support
the efforts of the people of Latin America and the Caribbean to
solve their development problems, has demonstrated a successful
approach to development; and
(5) an African Development Foundation similar in structure to
the Inter-American Foundation, but adapted to the specific needs
of Africa, can complement current United States development
programs in Africa.
