The African Community Development Foundation (ACDF) exists to improve livelihoods by building capacity for self-reliance within African Communities. It was established in the UK in 1999 and is based in the UK and Africa.
ACDF's mission is to improve livelihoods, life chances and wellbeing in African communities by enhancing the capacity of individuals, communities, civil society, social enterprises, NGOs, businesses and local institutions to alleviate poverty, and improve the standards of living through self-reliance.
ACDF work with African communities, our partners and other stakeholders, to help build lasting and sustainable capacity for self-reliance, through the provision of skills, resources and opportunities for collaborative working, and facilitating the widest engagement by all stakeholders in the development of these communities.
It also advocates for policy development that is needs-driven and pro-poor, but also responsive to the principles of human rights and gender equality, enabling it to promote the rights of the poorest and most marginalised individuals, families and communities.
