Issues Affecting Appropriations For

The African Development Foundation




In 1980 the Congress authorized establishment of
the African Development Foundation (ADF) to fill the
gap between larger U.S. assistance programs and
the needs of Africa at the grass roots level. ADF's first
year of operations began in fiscal year 1984, but
program development efforts came to a virtual stand-
still in April and May 1984 when its first president and
vice president resigned,

In June 1984, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on
Foreign Operations asked GAO to review the opera-
tions of ADF to determine if it has the necessary
management capability to efficiently spend more
federal dollars and to meet its mandate. GAO con-
ducted its review during July-November 1984 and
found that ADF was putting into place the staff and
administrative capacity to manage a modest pro-
gram. However, GAO questions ADF's envisioned
program growth to as much as $100 million within
the next 5 years. GAO believes ADF should demon-
strate the viability of its management and program
systems before plans for substantial growth are
approved.
