## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **Introduction** 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). 

## **Objectives and activities of the charity** 

Enterprise for Development's objective is to contribute to achieving inclusive economic growth and elimination of poverty in low-income countries by supporting African-led businesses that aim to improve the lives of those on low incomes and have potential to scale. 

It achieves its goals by: 

- Providing targeted grants to support public benefit components of sustainable enterprises with the aim of generating significant pro-poor benefits for those on low incomes in Africa; 

- Identify and highlight best practise in this area and explore means of supporting adoption of best practice by other organisations in our focus countries; 

- Facilitate knowledge transfer and learning about successful social enterprise models by creating links between enterprises in Africa and those in other countries with similar aims; 

- Fund research to investigate the strengths and weaknesses, benefits and costs of innovative models of sustainable private and social enterprise; 

- Undertake such other activities as trustees consider from time to time would contribute to achieving our goals. 

In striving to achieve these objectives, the charity has considered the Charity Commissioners guidance on public benefit and paid due regard to its guidance in deciding which activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The highlight of the year was the completion of first financial close for the **Resonance Enterprise Investment Fund (REIF)** , a groundbreaking social investment vehicle in the UK. EfD committed £100,000 as a Type 2 mezzanine investor alongside Ceniarth Foundation (£300K) and Unity Trust Bank (£1.2M), with additional support from Access Foundation grants and a British Business Bank guarantee. This investment marks a new chapter for EfD, extending our model of financially sustainable, scalable interventions to benefit those on lower incomes beyond Africa. The fund has already begun deploying capital to innovative UK social enterprises including EMERGE Recycling, Ivybridge Brewing Company, Impera Analytics, TLC Palliative, and Wolves Play Café. 

Although investing in the UK represents a departure from our traditional geographic focus, the investment is justified by the potential for learning that can be adapted to further EfD's goals in Africa, while maintaining our core principles of financial sustainability and social impact. 

**Chanzi** continues to progress towards its Series A fundraise planned for 2026-27. In support of this critical milestone, Trustee Andrew MacCormack has been seconded to Chanzi for a 12-month period to strengthen their financial preparations and investor reporting presentation. This hands-on support reflects our commitment to ensuring our investees can successfully scale their operations. Chanzi's black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) production continues to address the waste challenge in Tanzania and Kenya while providing sustainable protein additives and organic fertilizer to smallholder farmers. 

**Penda Health** achieved a remarkable milestone in 2025 with the completion of a groundbreaking AI healthcare study in partnership with OpenAI. Building on EfD's 2022 grant funding for their Clinical Decision Support System, Penda conducted the largest-ever study of clinical AI in actual practice, analysing 40,000 patient visits across 15 clinics. The results demonstrated a 16% reduction in diagnostic errors and 13% reduction in treatment errors, with the potential to prevent diagnostic errors in 22,000 visits and treatment errors in 29,000 visits annually at Penda alone. This achievement garnered global recognition, including coverage in TIME Magazine and international medical journals, exemplifying the multiplier effect of strategic grant funding.

## **Achievements and performance (Continued)** 

Building on this success, EfD approved a further $50,000 grant to scale BP Sawa, Penda's proven hypertension care program developed in partnership with Ariadne Labs. This innovative clinical delivery pathway for managing patients with hypertension has demonstrated the power of proactive, primary healthcare-centered delivery models in achieving person-centered, high-quality care. 

**Jacaranda Health** continues its impressive expansion of maternal and child healthcare services across Africa. In Kenya, the number of Counties partnering with Jacaranda has grown to 23 out of 47, all of them cost-sharing the programme. Over 3 million mothers have now benefited from Jacaranda's two-pronged approach of mentoring midwives and nurses in public hospitals while providing online support to mothers at home. 

Beyond Kenya, Jacaranda has been actively expanding into Ghana and Nigeria. In Ghana, a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ghana Health Service enables nationwide scale-up of the PROMPTS program, with the programme already reaching over 200,000 women in one quarter. The partnership includes co-staffing of the helpdesk, engagement with mobile operators on subsidized SMS, and alignment with national health systems. Jacaranda has developed a fine-tuned Hausa LLM for local context, with launch planned for Q4. The mentorship programme continues to grow, with over 1,400 healthcare providers completing the MENTORS curriculum for certification. 

In Nigeria, Jacaranda is finalizing preparations to launch PROMPTS in partnership with local nonprofit eHealth Africa, beginning in October to reach an initial 5,000 mothers and babies in the Sengerema District. This initiative will integrate PROMPTS into telehealth and transportation programmes focused on infants. These expansions demonstrate Jacaranda's ability to adapt and scale its proven solutions to meet the unique needs of different regions while maintaining both effectiveness and cost-efficiency in improving outcomes for mothers and babies. 

**TIST** marked a significant milestone, celebrating 25 years of farmer-led, self-reliant tree growing and carbon sequestration. The programme continues to support over 100,000 farmers growing millions of trees on unused land in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and India, generating substantial improvements in farmer livelihoods through carbon credit sales at favourable prices. 

**Apollo Agriculture** continues to adapt its programme in light of experience and changing economic conditions. Having gained recognition from a broader range of funders, Apollo now has the resources to continue expanding the number of smallholder farmers they support with their remote weather prediction models and agricultural services. 

EfD is also considering several other initiatives that may result in trustees agreeing to commit funding in the coming year. 

## **Financial Review** 

Unrestricted year-end balance was £555,997, £65,834 more than last year. The Charity aims to have 6 months reserve in the value of £15,000 and the reserves value is reviewed annually. 

The charity has substantial reserves that will enable it to continue to provide support to qualifying social and private enterprises. The plan is to make annual commitments at a level sufficient to meet its expenditure obligations for at least the next three years. 

The board has from time to time discussed and assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed and considered the safeguards that have been and can be implemented to mitigate those risks. In accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practise for charities the trustees annually review and update the formal risk assessment. 

a. Adequacy of EfD Internal controls – EfD has in place appropriate internal financial controls which the trustees consider proportionate and reasonable to its size and complexity, and has dedicated resources to ensuring appropriate record keeping in respect of all financial transactions. The trustees review the financial management and controls of EfD on a regular basis at trustee meetings. 

b. Grantee misconduct including compliance with grant terms and misuse or misapplication of funds– EfD puts in place grant arrangements with each grantee specifying the use of the funds, undertakes due diligence on the grantees (ex ante) and monitors the use of the funding (ex post) through dialogue with the grantees’ representatives and scrutiny of the reporting on the use of the funds by the grantees. 

c. Grantee capability to deliver EfD funded projects – EfD undertakes extensive due diligence on the grantees’ capability to deliver the EfD funded projects. EfD brings in appropriate technical expertise as required, and makes payment where appropriate in tranches against performance in order to mitigate the risks of project failure.

The charity is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. It is governed by its memorandum and Articles of Association. The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: 

Dr K Palmer Mr T Yapp Mrs E Wilson Mr M Cooper Mr A MacCormack 

The trustees are appointed either at the company's AGM under the recommendation of the majority of members or in year by the Board, trustees appointed by the Board retain office until the next AGM when they become eligible for re-election. 

The trustees are appointed either at the company's AGM under the recommendation of the majority of members or in year by the Board, trustees appointed by the Board retain office until the next AGM when they become eligible for re-election. 

When appointing newly elected trustees, Enterprise for Development has a policy of induction which includes ensuing that they are fully aware of their responsibilities in relation to both Companies House and Charities Commission guidance and the charity's objectives. 

The charity's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to follow the CBI's Prompt Payers Code (copies are available from the CBI, Centre Point, 103 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1DU). 

The charity's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to: 

- settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction; 

- ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; and 

- pay in accordance with the company's contractual and other legal obligations. 

## **Statement of Responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Enterprise for Development for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

- ▪ observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **ENTERPRISE FOR DEVELOPMENT (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **1.1 Charity Status** 

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the members is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. 

## **1.2 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. 

## **a.) Basis of preparation** 

Enterprise for Development meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

The charity has opted to prepare its accounts using natural categories. 

## Changes to accounting estimates 

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period 

## Material prior period errors and changes to previous accounts 

No material prior period errors have been identified in this accounting period and there have been no other changes to previous accounts. 

## Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis 

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The Trustees are of the view that the level of reserves will support the charity going forward. 

## Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **b) Income** 

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: 

- the charity becomes entitled to the income; 

- it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and 

- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **c) Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

11 



## **ENTERPRISE FOR DEVELOPMENT** 

## **(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **d) Grants, Donations and Legacies** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP). Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

## **e) Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts** 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## **f) Government Grants** 

The charity has not received government grants in the reporting period. 

## **g)  Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.  Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **h) Expenditure** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **i) Offsetting** 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. 

## **j) Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Assets costing less than £2,000 are written off in the year of purchase. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life as follows: Computers 20% straight line 

## **k) Operating leases** 

Rental charges payable under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the terms of the lease. 

## **l) Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **m) Legal status of the charity** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. 

## **n) Redundancy payments** 

The charity made no redundancy payments during the period. 

## **o) Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for certain employees. Pension contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they fall due for payment. 

## **p) Debtors** 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.  Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

12 



## **ENTERPRISE FOR DEVELOPMENT (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** 

## **q) Creditors**

## **r) Cash and cash equivalents**
