Our Approach

USADF does development differently by utilizing a community-led development approach and a pan-African network of local implementing partners to support African-designed and African-delivered solutions. USADF provides grant capital, capacity building assistance, and convening opportunities to develop, grow and scale African enterprises and entrepreneurs who improve lives and livelihoods.

Creating Pathways to Prosperity through Collaborations and Partnerships

We believe that given the right amount of resources and services, populations least served by existing markets or assistance programs will have a chance to transition out of poverty. To achieve this goal, USADF partners and collaborates with host African governments (at the national and local levels) corporations and foundations, and other U.S. Government agencies.
