INTERNATIONAL NETWORK FOR ADVANCING SCIENCE AND POLICY 

INASP is a charity which works to support the production and use of research and evidence in developing countries. For over twenty-seven years, we have been providing skills development for researchers, ICT staff, journal editors, librarians and, more recently, for government policymakers and their support staff - all those who need to collaborate for knowledge to inform national development.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
