APHRC Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st December 2018

Abstract

In 2018, we continued to implement our three core programs of research, research capacity strengthening and, policy engagement and communications. This being the second year of implementing our 2017-2021 strategic plan, we made some progress in rolling out the signature issue approach articulated in the plan. There was also greater progress in our regionalization strategy as we won grants for work in countries we have not worked in before and subsequently, implemented projects in 17 countries of sub-Saharan Africa. In the second quarter of the year, we registered our West Africa Regional office in Dakar, Senegal. To support our ever growing capacity strengthening work, we broke ground for the APHRC Training Center in November, 2018. Since this happened towards the end of the year, expenditure in this area are reported as work in progress in these financial statements. We also finalized plans for the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning solution which we expect to roll out in 2019.
