YAPO has published its Audited Financial Statement for FY2024, making the organization's income, expenditure and program investment available for public review. The statement is now downloadable from the Resources page of this website.
The audited statement covers the full financial year, independently reviewed, and details how funds received from partners and well-wishers were allocated across programs and administration. For an organization serving thousands of young people, publishing the numbers is a deliberate act of openness.
Transparency as a Principle
As a youth-led NGO registered in 2022, YAPO holds itself to the same standard of accountability it asks of public institutions. Every shilling entrusted to the organization is accounted for — not only to donors and government regulators, but to the teenage mothers in ASEP classrooms, the young women in ICT training and the communities who host YAPO's work.
The statement also shows how lean the organization runs: a team of 95 staff and volunteers carries a portfolio that spans the GIRLS Inspire project (2,300+ women and girls reached), the EYES project (1,000 youth trained in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma), ASEP (60+ girls returned to school), digital inclusion for 500 young women in Lindi, and civic education that reached more than 100,000 citizens.
Investing in Sustainability
Financial sustainability is a core priority for the years ahead. Alongside sound financial management, YAPO has institutionalized tools such as its Gender Equality Policy — developed under the Digital Inclusion for Gender Equality project — to ensure accountability is built into how the organization operates, not added afterwards.
Partners, supporters and members of the public are invited to download and review the Audited Financial Statement FY2024 from the Resources page, and to reach out with any questions. Accountability, in YAPO's view, works best in the open.
