The Foundation for Democracy in Africa (FDA) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Washington, DC, with offices in Miami, Florida, USA. Established in 1994, FDA is dedicated to promoting participatory democracy, economic growth, and sustainable development throughout Africa. Their mission is to implement culturally sensitive programs that strengthen the fundamental principles of democracy, freedom, and economic plurality in Africa, while integrating emerging African democracies into the global economy.
FDA achieves its mission by developing innovative strategies and programs that enhance human and institutional capacity, reduce poverty, foster democracy and good governance, and accelerate development in select sectors of Africa's economy. They provide technical assistance to strengthen the rule of law, democracy, and governance, as well as education and training in areas such as elections administration and political processes. FDA has also been involved in training and providing assistance on US-Africa trade issues, particularly under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), and has played a role in creating the AGOA Civil Society Network.
