ACT 4 AFRICA 

Act4Africa delivers grassroots poverty reduction programmes focusing on the health, education and livelihoods of disadvantaged communities in East Africa. Projects are delivered through local implementation partners who are nationally registered NGOs with whom formal Memorandums of Understanding are in place.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
