Rwandan-led, community-rooted.

Governance & Accountability

How we hold ourselves to standards.

General Assembly

Members convene annually to review the year's work, approve audited accounts, and elect the executive committee. The assembly is the highest authority in ASEDC's bylaws.

Financial Reporting

Annual financial statements are produced and shared with funders. ASEDC complies with Rwandan tax law and submits required reports to district authorities and MINALOC.

Donor Accountability

Each program has a designated point of contact for the funding partner. Quarterly narrative and financial reports are standard for institutional donors.
