MEWC provides timely and accurate information, resources and tools to support and strengthen the work of African women's rights advocates and activists; and to promote the participation of African women in all areas of social, political and economic development.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly female
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 13 years
