United States African Development Foundation (USADF) is an independent government agency established in 1980 in Washington, DC, USA that invests in a variety of enterprises that contribute to the development of low-income communities in the Sahel, the Great Lakes, and the Horn of Africa.
USADF supports development in various ways – through a community-led development approach and a pan-African network of local partners. USADF offers grants of up to $250 000 and capacity-building assistance to help African enterprises to improve their impact on livelihoods by addressing challenges and solving issues related to certain sectors such as agriculture & food security, energy, and unemployment.

Locations
Benin
Benin has been increasing both public and private investment in strategic infrastructure to support economic transformation and regional integration. Major initiatives include expansion of the Port of Cotonou and its logistics capacity to strengthen trade linkages across West Africa, significant public‑transport redevelopment financed with multilateral support, and agricultural infrastructure projects that link rural production with markets. The government is pursuing reforms to improve the investment climate and establish public‑private partnership (PPP) frameworks, supported by development policy financing from the World Bank and concessional loans to bolster economic governance and private sector participation. Continued improvements in transport, energy access, and economic diversification remain central to deepening productivity and inclusive growth.

Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso continues to address infrastructure gaps amid ongoing development challenges by mobilizing external financing and multilateral support for transport, digital and basic services. Recent World Bank‑supported projects are strengthening climate‑resilient road and rail networks to improve connectivity and trade, and expanding digital infrastructure and public services to drive growth and inclusion. Urban mobility and basic infrastructure investments in secondary cities are helping improve access to services and economic opportunities for populations affected by instability and climate shocks. While security and fiscal constraints complicate implementation, infrastructure development remains a core component of the country’s medium‑term growth and resilience strategies.
