Africa Fund
United States of America
The Africa Fund was founded in 1966 by the American Committee on Africa. They shared offices and staff but had separate boards and budgets. It supported health and educational projects of the liberations movements. It also supported the South African Council of Churches to aid political prisoners and their families. It researched American corporations and their ties with South Africa. It merged in 2001 with APIC and ACO to form Africa Action.
The Amistad Research Centre at Tulane University holds the archive of the organisation covering the period 1949-2001.
