NGO improving learning outcomes [105]
Pro bono3-4 weeks
_adaptiveResize_90_90.jpg)
Our partner envisions an educational system where students learn by doing instead of memorising, achieving its vision through teacher training workshops and establishing a micro-franchise model to spread its 'learning by doing' approach.
You will be the third AfID volunteer on placement with this partner. Given that it will have been just under three years since the last placement, and in light of their growth, the first task would be to review their controls and processes; this is especially pertinent in light of their planned further expansion.
They have been putting together a 5-year budget in place for their strategic plan, but require support in finalising this. They also have a new Finance Manager in post, and as such it would be useful to see how comfortable she has been using the existing budgeting and cashflow forecasting templates, and to see if these are relevant in light of their plans to expand.
This has the potential to be a hugely rewarding assignment, giving you the opportunity to make your mark on the organisation as it embarks on an exciting future.
Non-profit with Football-based Programmes [102]
Pro bono3-4 weeks
_adaptiveResize_90_90.jpg)
Our partner uses football-based programmes to inspire, encourage and educate disadvantaged young people in Ghana, teaching life skills and and empowering young girls by teaching personal, professional and practical skills.
You will be the second AfID volunteer to visit this partner, and you will primarily be working with the accountant who received training from our previous volunteer. He is using Quickbooks confidently, albeit only as a bookkeeping tool, and your first task will be to review its use and progress since the previous placement.
They would also like to receive support in a number of additional areas:
• Creating a simple bookkeeping process for the restaurant; they do not have the funds to install an electronic till, and therefore all transactions in the restaurant and bar are recorded by hand. They would like to review how this is being done, and suggest how it might be improved to reduce errors.
• Assistance with putting together an annual budget. They currently do not have an organisational budget, and putting one together either on Excel or QuickBooks (depending on the skill set) will help them get better visibility on how much it costs to run the organisation.
• Assistance in creating monthly income & expenditure reports for individual projects, the bar, restaurant & conference centre, and the organisation overall. As part of this, they would benefit from a review of any grants compliance and reporting requirements, to see that they are meeting this.
