The ford foundation programme of support for population with special reference to Africa

Abstract

The Foundation's support for population began very modestly in 1951. By 1957 our annual level of support was around one million dollars, and by 1963 it reached the ten-to twenty million dollar level, at which it has more or less remained since then. In recent years these commitments, have amounted to about 6 per cent of the Foundation's total annual outlays.
