Founder
The "Haussecker Institute for African Development" was founded by Tristan Haussecker in December of 2008. Tristan, an undergraduate African Studies major, decided to begin working on establishing an organization that would research and advocate developmental policy in rural African countries. He began his research in late 2007 uncovering facts and statistics of the Rwandan and Congolese mineral exports, educational systems, political parties, and military power. He then went on to expand his research by investigating other African countries with too many conflicts to reach their maximum economic and agricultural potential. Upon his graduation he plans to further his research in Africa before pursuing a M.A. or P.h.d in a related field.

Structure
This Institute has been broken down into three main areas of research. Economic Growth, Educational Development, and Political Stabilization are the main reasons that many countries thrive. Due to the insufficient development of these key aspects in many African countries, the "Haussecker Institute" strives to research possible solutions to these problems.
