Ambassador Self-Help Program

HISTORY

In 1964 an experimental and modest self-help program began in Togo to assist communities with development projects.  This program soon grew to cover the entire continent and become one of the most visible and successful assistance programs in Africa. The Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Program is a grass-roots assistance program that allows U.S. embassies to respond quickly to local requests for small community-based development projects.
