**(a) Policy requirements for assistance** The Congress recognizes that, under special economic, political, or security conditions, the national interests of the United States may require economic support for countries or in amounts which could not be justified solely under part I of subchapter I of this chapter or, in the case of countries in sub-Saharan Africa, part X of subchapter I of this chapter. In such cases, the President is authorized to furnish assistance to countries and organizations, on such terms and conditions as he may determine, in order to promote economic or political stability.

**(a) Findings** The Congress finds that—
(1) drought and famine have caused countless deaths and untold suffering among the people of sub-Saharan Africa;
(2) drought and famine in combination with other factors such as desertification, government neglect of the agricultural sector, and inappropriate economic policies have severely affected long-term development in sub-Saharan Africa; and
(3) the most cost-effective and efficient way of overcoming Africa’s vulnerability to drought and famine is to address Africa’s long-term development needs through a process that builds upon the needs and capabilities of the African people, promotes sustained and equitable economic growth, preserves the environment, and protects the rights of the individual.
**(b) Authority to furnish assistance** The President is authorized to furnish project and program assistance, on such terms and conditions as he may determine in accordance with the policies contained in this section, for long-term development in sub-Saharan Africa.
**(c) Purpose of assistance**
(1) **Purpose** — The purpose of assistance under this section shall be to help the poor majority of men and women in sub-Saharan Africa to participate in a process of long-term development through economic growth that is equitable, participatory, environmentally sustainable, and self-reliant.
(2) **Use of assistance to encourage private sector development** — Assistance under this section should, in a manner consistent with paragraph (1), be used to promote sustained economic growth, encourage private sector development, promote individual initiatives, and help to reduce the role of central governments in areas more appropriate for the private sector.

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](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title22-section2218&num=0&edition=prelim)], 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](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title22-section290f&num=0&edition=prelim)], 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.
