___________________________________

Our partner aims to engage local communities and Ugandan youth to conserve the national park and other wild environments. They have a broad range of programmes – ranging from conservation and sustainable energy, and education and literacy.

You will start by reviewing their progress and then you'll be providing further training as needed. The 2018 audit highlighted gaps in the supporting evidence and gave a list of recommendations for improvements. They would now like support to review their current system, procedures and controls to make sure they are meeting compliance and best practice. Your training will focus on their use of QuickBooks and audit preparation. They have also requested support with budget creation, improving reporting and generating better annual financial reports.

Accommodation provided.

Company

Accounting for International Development (AfID) offers every type of accountant, from anywhere in the world the opportunity to use their skills to support a broad range of non-profit organisations globally. Volunteer assignments of between 2 weeks and 12 months, &/or longer permanent placements, form part of our ongoing strategy to build the financial management capacity of charities in over 50 countries. 

AfID have now arranged assignments for over 1000 accountants from over 50 countries, providing over 250,000 hours of one to one support to more than 500 non-profit partners.

Our partners, which are a blend of international charities and grassroot NGOs, such as street child centres, hospitals, micro-finance institutions, conservation projects, women’s empowerment programmes and schools, are all doing amazing work to tackle extreme poverty and inequality but due to limited resources are unable to access vital financial management training.

The main focus of all AfID assignments is to develop the skills, confidence and potential of local people, enabling organisations to ultimately have the financial management capacity they need to deliver more sustainable programmes to their many beneficiaries, whilst maintaining good relations with their donors. Volunteers could be budgeting with a street child centre in Kampala (Uganda), coaching a hospital bookkeeper in Kigali (Rwanda) or financial reporting for a primary school in Kathmandu (Nepal).
