DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - The Ford Foundation on Tuesday launched an independent, African-led nonprofit that aims to give Africans greater opportunity to solve the continent's problems themselves.
The Ford Foundation committed $30 million to fund TrustAfrica, which has been developed over the past five years and will now be based in Senegal's capital of Dakar and governed solely by Africans.
"Africans need and deserve to have a greater voice in the international donor community and in development efforts across their continent," Ford Foundation President Susan Berresford said in a statement.
