SUB-SAHARA ADVISORY PANEL

Our mission is to inspire and inform policy and practice which lead to the reduction of poverty and the achievement of sustainable livelihoods in Africa, with a particular focus on sub-Saharan Africa. We do this through practical policy advice, policy-focused dissemination, debate and applied research. We also work with partners in the public and private sectors across Wales and UK generally.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
