Advisory Committee On Voluntary Foreign Aid

The Advisory Committee On Voluntary Foreign Aid (ACVFA) "was established by Presidential directive after World War II to serve as a link between the U.S. Government and private voluntary organizations (PVOs) active in humanitarian assistance and development work overseas. Comprised of 24 private citizens with extensive knowledge of international development, ACVFA helps provide the underpinning for cooperation between the public and private sectors in U.S. foreign assistance programs."
