A Promise of Integrity, Accountability, and Trust
At EFED (Empowering Fathers to Empower Daughters), we recognize that transparency is not just a policy—it is a core value that guides everything we do. We are committed to earning and maintaining the trust of our supporters, donors, partners, volunteers, and the communities we serve.
Transparency is about openness, clarity, and responsibility. It means showing how every cent donated is spent, how decisions are made, and how impact is measured.
What Transparency Means to EFED
1. Open Financial Reporting
EFED maintains detailed and publicly accessible financial records. We publish comprehensive annual reports that include income and expenditure statements, audited financials, program budgets, and donor impact summaries. Donors can request quarterly financial updates and breakdowns of how their contributions are used.
2. Independent Oversight and Ethical Governance
EFED is governed by an independent board of directors that oversees organizational strategy, compliance, and ethical practices. Our leadership is accountable for every decision and must adhere to strict conflict-of-interest and procurement policies.
3. Program Monitoring and Impact Evaluation
All EFED programs are designed with measurable goals and evaluation tools. We regularly track outputs, outcomes, and long-term impact. These findings are compiled into reports shared with stakeholders and used to improve our services.
4. Clear Communication with Stakeholders
We believe in keeping lines of communication open. EFED responds to questions, concerns, and requests for information from our supporters. We also organize periodic donor briefings, open Q&A sessions, and newsletters highlighting program updates and financial use.
5. Responsible Use of Donations
Every donation is carefully allocated according to our program priorities, operational needs, and community demands. We operate with a lean administrative budget and maximize the use of funds toward direct service delivery.
How Donations Are Used
EFED ensures that funds are directed toward high-impact, community-centered work. The approximate allocation of funds is as follows:
| Category | Allocation (%) |
|---|---|
| Educational Workshops & Training | 30% |
| Mentorship and Empowerment Programs | 20% |
| Community Engagement & Outreach | 15% |
| Operational and Administrative Costs | 10% |
| Staff and Volunteer Development | 10% |
| Emergency Response Assistance | 5% |
| Monitoring and Evaluation | 5% |
| Contingency and Reserve Funds | 5% |
These allocations are reviewed annually based on program results, donor priorities, and community feedback.
Oversight and Internal Controls
EFED maintains a robust set of policies and procedures to ensure accountability at every level of the organization:
- Annual financial audits conducted by independent, registered auditors
- Independent board-level finance and risk committees
- Comprehensive procurement and vendor selection policies
- Ongoing compliance with government and donor regulations
- Staff and volunteer code of conduct with ethics training
- Regular internal reviews and performance audits
Why Transparency Matters
We understand that donors and partners deserve to know how their contributions are making a difference. That is why we go beyond minimum legal requirements to provide voluntary disclosures, real-time updates, and donor-specific reporting.
Transparency builds a culture of responsibility, encourages good governance, and strengthens our ability to serve communities with credibility and excellence.
