What you helped us achieve
With your support throughout last year, through our partner organisations we helped many lives throughout Ethiopia, whether it was raising awareness to prevent harmful practices taking place, feeding children living on the streets of Addis, increasing societal participation of people with disabilities, improving access to quality education especially for women and girls or responding to crisis situations in real time.
Annual report and accounts
Our annual Trustees Report and Accounts charts how – with your support – Ethiopiaid Ireland is making progress towards our strategic objectives.
The annual report also includes our audited accounts, explaining where our income comes from and how we have spent it. Our Trustees are responsible for preparing these reports in keeping with the law and the Irish accounting standards. They are published each year.
If you have any questions about the report, please contact Frances Darcy on 01 584 2802 or 087 093 6031 or email Frances at frances@ethiopiaid.ie.
Transparency is a way of working and reporting financial activities that is open and honest.
For Ethiopiaid, this means being open about our financial affairs and how we spend the money we raise, but it also means working in a way that clearly shows how we put our values into action.

Ensuring your money is spent responsibly
With 30 years’ experience in international development through partner organisations, Ethiopiaid has a long history of building effective partnerships with local organisations and running projects in the most responsible and financially secure way. That said, no organization is immune to fraud. Ethiopiaid certainly has a zero tolerance policy on fraud and corruption and are proactive in trying to minimize opportunities in which fraud can occur. We have policies, procedures, controls and assurance in place, both in Ethiopia and in Ireland and our global offices in Australia, UK and Canada.
Our Supporter Promise is a demonstration of our commitment to hold ourselves to the highest standards, across every area of our work.
These principles are at the core of Ethiopiaid. We work in partnership with Ethiopia’s poorest and most marginalised people and we take this same approach with our supporters.
In the spirit of partnership, we welcome your feedback to help us maintain our high standards. If we ever fall short of this promise to you, please do let us know and we will do everything we can to put it right.

We’re always ready to listen
As an organisation, we are committed to creating a culture and environment based on the principles of fairness, equality, respect and non-discrimination.
We have a zero-tolerance policy on serious misconduct of any kind. Our commitment is to a transformative change in how we approach safeguarding and anti-sexual harassment, building on what process and policies we already have, but going far further than that by ensuring that the interests of beneficiaries (or ‘right holders’, a term that we prefer) and survivors are at the heart of a review of our practices and culture, especially the voices of women and girls.
