Summary and review of 2025 Acros5 5ub-Saharan Africa. countless people live wth the invislble scars of war and genocide. At Network for Afvica, we believe that no one should have to face the psychologTcal aftermath of violence alone. In post-conflirt regions like Burundi. Rwanda, Sierra Leone and northern Uganda, the mental toll of war lingers for years- often untreated and unspoken. An estimated one in five people in these areas livÈs with anxiety. depression. PTSD or psychosis. In many remote communities. mental health care is virtually non-existent-. with few trainèd professionals, deep st¢gma and no support structures. Research consistently shows that post-conflict gocreties fra higher rates of povertyforyears after peace- which in turn makes recovery harder still. Untreated, these conditions strip peoplè of their Bbilityto work. care for their families or take part in daily life. Without timely, culturally sensitive support, communitie5 are left behind in a cycle that is entirely preventable. 1,687 1,024 5,501N An estimated 10,000 family member5 who also InefIted ople with mental illness or elePSY directly supported kwpletrained in setting up small busine55es people reached through awareness and stigma campaigns These figures Span ourfour country programmes in Bunjndi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Uganda.

Decades of violence, combined with ertreme weather events. have left a profound legacy of mental health need5- yet trained support is almost non-existent.

Participants spoke not only of the help they were giving to others, but also of improved personal wellbeing and stronger trust from community members. Atthe same time, the follow-up made clear that further training, supeTVi5ion and practical support are needed if thls work is to deepen and expand. We are co-developing a costed proposal wth our Burundian partner. with the aims of strengthening their organisation and developing a pÈÈr 5UPPOrt counselling and livelihoods programme in Burtjndi. This would build on the existing cohorts of trained peer counsellors, provide further training and supervision. and cover Bujumbura as well as three rural provinces.

NETWORK FOR AFRICA TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIREoRs, REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 Safeguarding Networkfor Africa believes that everyone we come into corrtact with - regardless of age. gender, identity, disability, sexual orientation or ethnic background - has the rightto be protetted from harm, abuse. neglect and exploitation. We hold ourselvè5 and our partners to the highest standards. In 2025, we conducted quarterly safeguarding checkqns with all our partner5, and also shared new safeguarding documents and training support videos. We supported our newest partner, in Buruftdi, to develop safeguarding policies of its own. Our full safeguarding policie5 are available on our website at www.network4afri£a.or& including our Code of Conduct. Safeguarding Policy, and Anti-Bullying and Harassment Policy. Fundraising Networkfor Africa has traditionally focused on trusts and foundations and major donors- an approach that has offered the best return on investment of effort for a small organisation like ours. The funding landscape has shifted significantly. Many funders are now directinÈ their international development grant5 in-country. bypassing UK NGOS. Others have paused grant-making while revising their strategies. This 15 a challenge across the sector. notjust for Networkfor Africa. We continue to succeed with smaller trusts and foundations where we have long-stsnding latiOnShipS. OurfoundeF and trustee Rebecca Tin51ey, brings extraordinary energy to major donorfundr3isin& and we are fortunate to have loyal supporters who understand the value of unrestrirtèd giving. We also participate each year in The Big Give matched-gimng faTnpaign, using these funds to support SURF'S peer counselllng programme in Rwanda. and we hold a place in the London Mar&thon, which generates valuable unrestritted income. A5 our organisation does not engage in significant face-to-facefundraising or employ fundraising rnethS requiring adherence to a Code of Condurt. reglstratlon with the Fundiaising Regulator is not considered necessary.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRusfEES OF NETWORK FOR AFRICA Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we wlll not detect all irregularities. includinE those leading to a material mi5Statement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliancè with a13w or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of inst3nces of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery. collusion. omission or misrepresentation. The primary responsibilityfor the prevention and detection of irglarleS inclijdingfraud remains with those charged with governance and with management.
