AFRICA 2000 

In the UK, outreach and advocacy projects. Community liaison project on issues of serious violence among young people in London general especially Haringey. International projects aim to achieve Village Economic Empowerment including social and welfare programmes. Worked with our local sister organization to discourage illegal migration to Europe
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile recently
