Founded in 2004 with the support of then Bishop Robert Duncan, ARDF consciously adopted an organizational model intended to strengthen international relationships based on mutual respect and a shared faith in Jesus Christ. To achieve this end, a board of Archbishops leads ARDF. Representing orthodox Anglican Provinces in the Global South, they are crucial in determining priorities, approving large development grants, and keeping ARDF firmly linked to the local church.
