PENHA REPORT OF TRUSTEES 31 DECEMBER 2024 NARRATIVE REPORT
Objectives
The principal activities of the charity in the period under review have been to promote sustainable development among pastoral and agro-pastoral communities through gender equality, resilience, enterprise and innovation, and regional cooperation across the Horn of Africa. PENHA works at the grassroots and policy levels to empower pastoralist communities to play a full role in their own development. On the UK side, it has focused on youth and diaspora programmes.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 2024
PENHA HQ
In 2024, PENHA celebrated its 35th Anniversary and organised a successful 35th Anniversary Conference at the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), London and online. It was conducted in collaboration with The Regional Centre for Training and Development of the Civil Society (RCDCS) in Sudan, on the theme, ‘PENHA through the Years (1989-2024)’. The event celebrated more than three decades of research, advocacy, and programme support for pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities in the Horn of Africa and migrant communities in the UK. The keynote speaker was Dr Tekeste Ghebray, the former Executive Secretary of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the FAO representative for Iraq and Afghanistan. The trustees are thankful for contributions made by the ODI, AIL TV; the Somali Advice and Forum of Information (SAAFI); the Development Planning Unit of the University College London, Concordis International, the Royal Agricultural University, Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich, Chatham House and other organisations and individuals.
As a side event of the conference, the launch of ‘Social Protection, Pastoralism and Resilience in Ethiopia: Lessons for Sub-Saharan Africa’, published by Routledge, was held. Ethiopia has one of the countries with the most extensive social protection programmes in Africa, and the book resulting from the research project funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), focuses on the intervention’s impact among pastoralist communities in the Afar Region and beyond.
PENHA has continued to support the newly arrived migrants through the Kent Migration Project. PENHA has secured 100 SIM cards of 40GB per month for six months from the Vodafone from their charities. Connect

scheme to be freely provided to the young refugees and enable them to maintain contact with relatives and their wider support network. The project aims to tackle digital exclusion in Kent.
PENHA-UK supported a tribute fundraising event for the Nicole Kenton Memorial Project, a development initiative that aims to advance community development work among dryland communities in East Africa. Funds raised will support activities at women-led initiatives in Ethiopia, in collaboration with Samara University in the Afar region. Furthermore, PENHA has facilitated the donation of over 700 books on Africa-related themes to Samara University in the Afar region of Ethiopia. The books are donated by the family of our late Board of Trustee’s secretary and long-standing supporter of Kees Maxey, who collected the books for decades.
The PENHA-UK office continued its role of supporting our country chapters in Ethiopia and Somaliland, providing the knowledge and skills needed to address specific activities, publications, and funding efforts.
Looking ahead, PENHA has begun reviewing its existing strategy. A workshop was held for trustees and staff to point the way forward for PENHA’s next chapter in its history. The workshop also highlighted new resource streams the organisation may generate to support its forthcoming 2026-2030 strategy. This was hosted by Article 25.
At the Board of Trustees’ AGM, various critical strategic issues were discussed, and the 2023 narrative and financial reports were approved. The Board also approved Ms. Amrote Abebayehu Assefa, trusteeship in this reporting year and planned to strengthen its governing body by appointing additional trustees.
As part of PENHA’s public engagement strategy, regular updates have been published on its digital media, and an e-newsletter has been distributed. PENHA has engaged more than 10 volunteers in office-based and virtual forms.
ETHIOPIA
The programme in Ethiopia is implemented in collaboration with Tropenbos International of the Netherlands. It is focused on Participatory Productive Restoration, an approach that combines livelihoods and environmental rehabilitation to ensure locally owned solutions that integrate climate-smart agriculture, restorative land management practices, and water management and conservation for resilient livelihoods, food security, climate resilience, and biodiversity. The programme combines important policy work at the national level (on restoration and wildfire) with a conflict-transformative landscape approach to restoration in the TigrayAfar border landscape. PENHA collaborates closely with national partners
5
(Ethiopian Forestry Development - EFD, MoA, CIFOR-ICRAF) and landscape partners (Mekelle and Samara universities, with a Consortium of local actors). In 2024, the programme moved ahead with the implementation of productive landscape restoration on the Tigray-Afar Border Landscape. The work is centred around the Arato Rural Resource Centre on the TigrayAfar border, which serves as a landscape hub for technical support and inputs, as well as peer-to-peer learning on farmer-managed natural regeneration and agroforestry. An integrated set of income-generating and value addition activities (including construction of bench terraces, honey production and planting of high-value fruit/food, fodder trees and grasses) on a hillside enclosure, aims to create green jobs for unemployed and landless youth and women, as well as support livestock fattening.
Key results at the landscape level include Restoration activities piloted on 10 ha and scaled out to 350 ha of the surrounding landscape; 591 households are directly involved in various aspects of productive restoration. Arato Rural Resource Centre has been established and is managed by the Tsigereda Women’s Cooperative. The tree nursery is projected to be commercially self-sustaining in 2026 through the sale of quality planting materials. It serves as a hub for landscape restoration and provides sustainable income to 15 women working at the centre. It supports the surrounding communities engaged in homestead agroforestry and wider restoration efforts, contributing to climate-smart agriculture and increased food security. Embashimelo Hillside Development Youth Cooperative has been legally established and secured access to land on hillside areas, with 35 youth involved in productive restoration practices. Restoration/FMNR activities have further mobilised youth. Water reservoirs and pumps have been installed to enable hillside planting of high-value trees, crops, and fodder, generating income for youth. PSNP beneficiaries and extension agents are engaged in restoring hillsides and gullies. Established a highly committed landscape consortium to increase institutionalisation and sustainability of the results, involving core partners CIFOR-ICRAF, Mekelle and Samara Universities, and the Ministry of Agriculture departments at national and regional levels.
Restoration Policy: PENHA and partners continued to collaborate with EFD, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Planning and Development, sharing ideas and experience on productive landscape restoration, with an emphasis on livelihoods and value chains. PENHA participated in a series of workshops with EFD and partners, aiming to: Enhance implementation of the Government of Ethiopia’s flagship programmes, including the Green Legacy Initiative (GLI); Promote the integration of conservation and environmental rehabilitation with livelihoods and value chain development; Strengthen coordination among stakeholders and promote private sector engagement.
6
Conflict management and “Trees for Peace”: A conflict study was conducted, and supportive actions were outlined for the Tigray-Afar Landscape. PENHA and partners engaged with regional administrations and the Abogerebs (traditional leaders) in a series of meetings. Lemon Tree seedlings from Arato were handed over to local Afar groups at a public event. The backing of traditional leaders was secured for our Gender and Youth strategy, with an agreement to establish formal mechanisms for the consultation of women and youth.
“Customary Conflict Resolution among the Tigray-Afar Adjacent Communities: Strengthening the Role of Customary Institutions/the Abogerebs”: An analytical study was conducted to guide ongoing peacebuilding efforts involving the universities of Mekelle and Samara, as well as the regional governments. A policy brief conveyed key findings to stakeholders.
Wildfire Management: A multi-stakeholder workshop and a series of locallevel meetings aimed to strengthen systems and tools for the management and protection of the Desa’a Forest, a resource shared by farmers and pastoralists at the Tigray-Afar border.
SOMALILAND
PENHA-Somaliland has implemented various community-based development programmes and policy-oriented activities throughout the year.
Seawater Greenhouse Project: PENHA-Somaliland continues to manage the Seawater Greenhouse Project in Berbera, with activities focused on developing private-sector links, engaging with local authorities, and outreach to communities.
Management Plan for Prosopis Utilisation in Djibouti 2024-2025 (with FAO): This involved collaborating with FAO experts and the Ministry of Agriculture in Djibouti. Field assessments and consultations were conducted in areas affected by prosopis invasion. The PENHA Team produced a draft for review before working with the government to produce a final revised version.
Support for Integrated Water Resources Management to Ensure Water Access and Disaster Reduction for Somaliland’s Agro-Pastoralists Project (GEF/UNDP): A set of activities strengthened pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihoods with the provision of training and productive assets for (predominantly) women’s cooperatives in key drylands value chains – milk, fodder and livestock. Implemented in Togdheer and Sool Regions over 2022/23 and continuing into 2024. A livelihoods assessment enabled the design of targeted interventions.
7
HALO Trust and PENHA-Somaliland Post-mine Clearance Land Rehabilitation Project: Post-mine clearance landscape restoration aimed to support the recovery of degraded land, following clearance by Halo Trust, and promote environmental resilience for local communities, bringing land back into productive use. Actions involved community workshops, soil bunds/ponds, reseeding, drought-resistant vegetation, diversion bunds, cash-for-work, and the construction of community-managed, fenced enclosures. PENHA also advised Halo Trust on the establishment of their new Ethiopia programme, with the possibility of similar collaboration in the Afar Region.
Participation in national, regional, and international policy and practice forums: PENHA actively participates in national forums, including the Somaliland National Prosopis Platform. An African Union workshop on resilience and participatory M&E with pastoralists in Abuja (“Enhancing Resilience of Pastoral communities through Data Collection and Monitoring and Evaluation systems” workshop, November 2024) allowed PENHA to promote participatory approaches to implementing the major dryland programmes.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of PENHA (CIO) For the year ended 31 December 2024
I report on the accounts of the company for the period ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 10 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purpose of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
-
Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no other matter except that referred to in the above paragraphs, has come to my attention:
(1)which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(2)to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
