§ 290h. Congressional findings
The Congress finds that—
(1) social and economic development ulti-
mately depends on the active participation of
individuals within a society and on the en-
hancement of opportunities for those individ-
uals;
(2) the development of individuals and insti-
tutions 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 develop-
ment;
(4) the Inter-American Foundation, estab-
lished by Congress in the Foreign Assistance
Act of 1969 [22 U.S.C. 290f], to support the ef-
forts of the people of Latin America and the
Caribbean to solve their development prob-
lems, 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.
