The Power of Nutrition Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31 December 2022 

## **Message from the Chair** 

The year 2022 was The Power of Nutrition’s seventh since inception and it saw us take a material stepchange in direction. In response to changing fund dynamics and availability, we launched an ambitious new strategy – expanding our traditional prescriptive model to several agile products, broadening our remit to all forms of malnutrition through a multisectoral lens and shifting our focus from ‘more money for The Power of Nutrition’ to ‘more money for global nutrition’. At the same time, we have adopted new purpose and vision statements, created new team values, expanded into the Middle East, and refreshed our governance model. 

Ongoing global challenges, including the aftermath of the pandemic, the ever-increasing impact of climate change and global conflict continued to present huge challenges to the nutrition sector. Most drastically, the need has increased – in 2022, 345 million people globally - more than double the preCovid 19 amount faced high levels of food insecurity. At the same time, aid budgets have been reduced or diverted for other needs. The result? We are seeing the global progress made in tackling malnutrition being reversed.  That’s why our work, and in particular, our collaborative model, is more important than ever in mobilizing resources and ensuring they are used efficiently to tackle malnutrition. 

Despite this challenging context, our unwavering commitment to improving nutrition through collaboration with our partners, has resulted in tangible impact for a more hopeful future. We were delighted to achieve our original target of helping to avert 600,000 cases of stunting more than two years early at the end of 2022. That’s 600,000 children who have received the right food and nutrition to grow up healthy and strong. It also means over 133 million mothers and children have benefited from our programmes with improved nutrition. 

## **New strategy** 

In response to the rapidly changing world, The Power of Nutrition launched a new bold and ambitious 2022-25 strategy ‘Transforming global nutrition fundraising, together’. The strategy builds off  our DNA, including attracting new money to nutrition, convening partnerships and pooling funds for greater efficiency, but doing so in an innovative way that adapts to new market challenges. We expanded our focus from stunting to incorporate all forms of malnutrition through a multisectoral lens and moved from our current prescriptive ‘x4 leverage’ model to several new responsive, innovative models. This included work on Nutrition Ventures, an innovative financing platform and the launch of our first ever public appeal in response to the global malnutrition crisis. We also expanded into the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), where we’re building new networks and establishing new partnerships to advance nutrition focused funding. Finally, the strategy also sees a shift in focus on fundraising for our own programmes to act much more as a tenacious sector champion and public good for the entire global nutrition sector. 

## **Programme portfolio** 

The Power of Nutrition’s portfolio expanded in 2022 with the addition of three new programmes, achieving our annual target: 

1. DRC phase I with funding secured from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. 

2. The Product Access Initiative in Liberia, which is conducting critical research to uncover contextspecific barriers to the uptake of nutrition services and to then address the barriers at a community level. 

3. A new programme in Zambia, which is a first for The Power of Nutrition, taking an in-kind contribution of maternal supplements from new partner, Kirk Humanitarian. 

We have now invested in 21 programmes across 16 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia and at year end, our portfolio of co-investments had reached over 133 million people (80 million children under-five, 22 million adolescents and 30 million women) with critical nutrition services since inception.

## **Fundraising** 

Like many in the not-for-profit sector, 2022 was The Power of Nutrition’s most challenging fundraising year to date. The ongoing impact of the pandemic was then exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which saw our traditional donors’ budgets both tightened and diverted.  At the same time, this same conflict drove up the cost of living and continues to have devastating impact on food security in the countries where we work, making our fundraising task more important than ever. 

In response to this escalating crisis, moved by what we are seeing across the sector, we kicked off our first ever public appeal for funds.  The lack of coverage in the media, combined with official famines not being declared despite millions of children being malnourished, has made this challenging but we are identifying donors who are also moved, and we have secured new donor engagement and income to kick our response into gear. The first disbursement of $50k funds raised will be for a co-funded project (of $130k) in Ethiopia, implemented by new partner International Medical Corps. 

Within a challenging fiscal environment last year, we worked closer than ever with our existing funding partners and have been doing all we can to strengthen the convening role that we play in uniting donors and partners for the greatest impact.  These efforts have laid firm foundations for future programmes. Key networking events, such as during the United Nations General Assembly week led to engagement with new prospects, and we undertook several trips to the Gulf countries to continue partnership development there, which are beginning to bear fruit. 

2022 has seen some new staff members join the fundraising team, bringing new contacts and sector experience as we seek to continue growing the opportunities to collaborate.  A new Director, plus a new Head of Corporate and Foundation Partnerships has added skills and experience to the team and embedded new processes and approaches to our partnership working, developing a model of engagement, with new product offerings that enable us to have broader conversations with a new range of potential funders.  Our approach in the private sector is more focused on the multisectoral approach and alignment to Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) agendas, and we continue to develop our engagement tools. We also added two further team members to focus on developing our prospecting and convening approach, and to support our public funding appeal. These new additions and restructured ways of working build solid foundations for our future growth. 

## **Communications, advocacy & research** 

We focused on delivering our strategy shift, to be ‘more of a public good and tenacious nutrition sector champion’, in the first half of the year with four big advocacy wins: 

- We played a decisive role in helping to secure the British government’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office’s (FCDO) commitment of £1.5bn for nutrition 202230. 

- We partnered with Soccer Aid for UNICEF, motivating the UK public to donate £4m extra, genuinely new money for nutrition. 

- We were at the heart of sector lobbying efforts ahead of the G7 Summit, pushing for leaders to act ambitiously in response to the malnutrition crisis. 

- We published ground-breaking research on the Cost of Stunting, revealing that the private sector in Lower- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) lose more than a quarter of a trillion dollars per year due to stunted workforces. 

## **People** 

The Power of Nutrition’s biggest asset continues to be the #PowerTeam – a group of passionate and experienced people who are all committed to our vision of a world where every child has the right nutrition to achieve their full potential. In 2022 we continued to prioritise team wellbeing with a strong strategic objective being to ‘nurture the team and attract new top talent’.

For the year ended 31 December 2022 

## **Looking ahead** 

While we have laid the foundations for our new strategy, we are still to see its full potential realised as we continue to experience an extremely challenging external environment. The worst malnutrition crisis in 40 years is still receiving almost no global attention, while fundraising remains challenging due to aid cuts and diversions. 

With a largely new fundraising team in place and with ambitions to bolster our capacity by hiring new talent in 2023, we are seeing 2023 as the year when we lay the strong new foundations that will enable us to fulfil our enormous potential in spite of the challenges facing the sector 

By the end of 2025 we want to have contributed to the prevention of: 

- Almost 1.3 million cases of stunting in children under five. 

- Over 1 million cases of anaemia in pregnant women. 

- Approximately 34,000 deaths of children under five. 

And with our excellent track record behind us, we believe we have the right team, right model and right strategy to deliver these important goals.

## **Strategic Report** 

The Board of Trustees of The Power of Nutrition, which is also its board of directors, hereby presents the information required by the Companies Act 2006 (the Strategic Report and Directors’ Report) together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

Reference and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015). 

## 1. Objectives & activities 

## 1.1. Background 

The Power of Nutrition – a company limited by guarantee and a charity registered in the UK, and principally referred to as a “charitable foundation” – grew from a commitment by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID, now known as FCDO) and the UBS Optimus Foundation (UBSOF) to develop a catalytic financing facility that would bridge a financing gap in the nutrition sector to accelerate progress on child undernutrition. It was registered in February 2015 and formally launched in April 2015. 

## 1.2. Purposes & aims 

The Power of Nutrition was created to generate new resources to prevent undernutrition and to improve nutrition outcomes for children at scale. Our aim is to save lives and protect children from low birthweight, stunting and other forms of undernutrition. Nutrition is a fundamental building block for life. It is also recognised as a powerful multiplier for economic and social development: it saves lives and enables children and societies to grow to their full potential. Globally, there is also a $10.8billion annual gap in core nutrition financing. 

To transform nutrition outcomes, save lives and protect children, we: 

- Unlock financing for nutrition from new and diverse sources, including the private sector and non- traditional investors; and 

- Make charitable investments to scale up quality, high-impact child and maternal nutrition programmes in countries with the highest need in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. 

- In our 2022-5 strategy we also added a further goal: 

- Act as a tenacious global nutrition sector champion, aiming to leverage ‘more money for global nutrition’ towards plugging the huge financing gap 

To achieve our goals, our current funding model comprises a range of co-financing agreements with more than 40 partners, including institutional funders (governments, foundations, corporates, highnet-worth individuals) and large-scale nutrition programme implementers, including the World Bank, UNICEF, Save the Children, Action Against Hunger and a range of other INGOs.

The Power of Nutrition 

Trustees’ annual report 

## For the year ended 31 December 2022 

At the heart of our original model was financial leverage, with the aim of turning each $1 into $4, though we have actually achieved $6.4. This has been achieved through, for example, a smart useof-grant approach to incentivise others to multiply their commitments. For example, the Government of Madagascar was planning to take out a $40m IDA loan from the World Bank for nutrition programming. We committed $10m of grant, , but only if the government doubled their loan, which they agreed to do, leading to a $90m programme. In 6 of our 8 World Bank programmes, total portfolio $410m, we have evidenced that this smart use of grant has incentivised governments to borrow more for nutrition. 

Our traditional model has since evolved and whist we can no longer commit to a 4x match guarantee in every case; convening partners and pooling funds to deliver sustainable results at scale, remains at the heart of our offer. 

All financing is directed by our implementing partners to co-designed quality, high-impact, nutrition programmes that focus on improving child and maternal nutrition outcomes at scale.

## 2. Achievements & performance 

During the period covered in this report, the charitable foundation completed its seventh full year of independent operation and consolidated its position further as an operational entity. It has been a year of setting foundations as we start to bed down a new strategy, making modest progress towards our fundraising goals, booking net income totalling USD 3.9 million. Our Board approved three further programmatic investments during the year (Democratic Republic of CONGO (DRC), Zambia and our first Product Access Initiative (PAI) programme in Liberia). We now have 21 programmes and three completed programmes (Tanzania, Liberia Phase 1 and Ethiopia Phase 1). The total portfolio value was USD 549 million at end 2022. 

## 2.1. Supporting quality, high-impact nutrition programmes 

We invested USD 2.7 million in DRC to be disbursed over three years with GiveDirectly as implementing partner. This programme is designed to address malnutrition in children, adolescent girls and women in DRC through a multi-systems approach and a use of cash transfers. 

An additional USD 0.4m million was invested in our Mobile Doctorni programme in Gujarat with Group M as the implementing partner. This programme has the ambition to reach 2.7 million women with hygiene and nutrition messaging utilising technology. 

USD 0.7 million was invested in our Zambia programme to be disbursed over two years with World Vision as implementing partner. The programme is designed to pilot a transition from Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) supplementation to Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS) as part of a broader programme to improve nutrition and health in three provinces of Zambia. 

USD 0.14 million was invested in our first Product Access Initiative (PAI) programme which bolted on to our existing Liberia programme. This innovative programme aims to enhance collaboration between academia and institutions with a common goal of improving nutrition outcomes with relation to maternal and child health. 

We continued to oversee the implementation of our investments in Tanzania (USD 44 million), Ethiopia (USD 40 million), Madagascar (USD 90 million), Cote d’Ivoire (USD 60.4 million), Rwanda (USD 116 million), Nigeria (USD 3.9 million), Burkina Faso (USD 30 million) and Lesotho (USD 5 million) all with the World Bank; as well as our 2[nd ] investment in Liberia (USD 10 million), Benin (USD 10 million), Maharashtra (USD 10 million), Bangladesh (USD 15 million) and Ethiopia 2 (USD 29..8 million)  all five of which are with our implementing partner UNICEF. Investments with other implementing partners included Gujarat (USD 6 million) with CARE and Action Against Hunger , our Indonesian investment (USD 7 million), which is being implemented by Save the Children and Nutrition International, Malawi (USD 11.4 million) being implemented by Save the Children and the Mobile Doctorni investment in Gujarat (USD 5.5 million) being implemented by Group M. 

In the financial statements (see Note 13a) some of these programmes show a net negative position. A number of these negative balances largely arise from the accounting treatment prescribed by current accounting standards where, although these programmes are fully funded, we are subject to the agreement wording required to record the full anticipated expenditure at the start of the programme, even though activities on-the-ground may not start for several years; whereas our grant income recognition policy generally requires that promised grant income is recognized throughout

the life of the programme when due. These are Maharashtra (USD 0.7 million), Indonesia (USD 0.5 million), DRC (USD 1 million) and Bangladesh (USD 2.8 million). We are currently reviewing our income and expenditure approach, so they more closely reflect the project life cycle. There are a further four programmes Gujarat (USD 0.5 million), Indonesia (USD 0.1 million), Benin (USD 2.2 million) and Bangladesh (USD 0.95 million) which require further funding to be raised in their later operating years, but we are currently confident we can achieve this, alternatively responsibly scaling back the level of ambition in these programmes.

## 3. Looking ahead 

The Power of Nutrition is working to fulfil its mandate to drive transformative nutrition outcomes at scale. We want to see the $10.8 billion gap in core nutrition funding, and $39-50 billion gap in funding to achieve Global Goal 2: Zero Hunger by 2030, closed. We have built strong foundations and have launched a new, bold and ambitious 2022-5 strategy; this will enable us to bring in new funding, make additional programme investments and ultimately improve the lives of children and women across Africa and Asia. 

Given the challenging external environment, , we  are focused on further enhancing our fundraising team and capacity for the future.  Whilst investing in our relationships with existing partners we are also focused on identifying new models, building new relationships and brokering new partnerships across sectors that will leverage critically needed additional resources into the nutrition sector. 

We are proud to date to have introduced new private sector funders into the nutrition space and we continue to seek to engage this sector especially – building the correlation between ESG agendas and the global nutrition financing gap. 

This includes looking to replicate our successful World Bank model with the Islamic and African Development banks, and to develop new strategic partnerships, especially in the Gulf region. 

In January 2023 we announced a ground-breaking partnership with the Vaccines Alliance (GAVI) and Unilever to deliver an integrated immunisations, water & sanitation, and nutrition programme in Indonesia, the first time GAVI have included nutrition in their programming, and we aim to expand this partnership to several countries. This is a great example of our new strategy in action, in particular our shift from predominantly health systems to become multisectoral. We aim to replicate this type of partnership with partners from other nutrition-relevant sectors, through our ‘Nutrition Links’ initiative, which prioritises education, climate change (including food systems) and gender. 

We’ll further develop our programmatic investments, including working with existing implementation partners to build a pipeline of new investments, as well as identifying new potential implementing partners.  These will include more programmes like the one in Zambia, which is helping illustrate to the world that it is right to shift from the use of iron and folic acid (IFA), with its two minerals and vitamins for pregnant women, to multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) that provide 15 nutrients.  In all our programmes, ensuring government engagement at the highest level, through to community engagement at the grassroots level is a key component. 

Crucially, we continue to recognise the #PowerTeam is the organisation’s #1 asset and we will continue to work to develop and support a first-class team and organisation, with a diverse, equitable, inclusive, empowering, creative and entrepreneurial culture, that everyday live the new set of values we agreed in 2022.

## 4. Financial review 

## 4.1. Income 

During the period covered in this report, The Power of Nutrition recorded income totalling USD 3.9 million (2021: USD 13.4 million). This income was received from one founding partner, four 3[rd ] party donors, the Global Malnutrition Appeal and two bi-lateral donors: 

- CIFF USD 2 million (USD 0.8 million) 

- Private and Bi-lateral Donors income of USD 1.7 million (USD 10.1 million). 

- Bank interest earned USD 0.2 million (USD 0.03 million) 

## 4.2. Expenditure 

A total of USD 5.7 million (2021: USD 33.9 million) was recognised as expenditure during the year. This can be analysed across two key expenditure groupings, namely Programmatic and Operational expenditure. Programmatic expenditure is defined as the expenditure the Foundation directly books to programmes that are designed and run by our implementing partners in our target countries. Operational expenditure is defined as the expenses incurred through the day to day running of the Foundation, including the costs of its staff and operations. 

## 4.2.1. Programmatic Expenditure 

Total charitable grants expensed during the course of the year amounted to a net USD 2.5 million (2021: USD 30.3 million): 

- USD 0.4 million was expensed in relation to Services-in-Kind provided in respect of the Mobile Doctorni nutrition programme in Gujarat. 

- USD 2.7 million was expensed to our implementing partner Give Directly in respect of our first programme in the DRC. Funds will be disbursed over 3 years. 

- USD 0.7 million was expensed to our implementing partner World Vision in respect of a programme in Zambia. Funds will be disbursed over 2 years. 

- USD 0.14 million was expensed as part of our first Product Access Initiative programme  in Liberia. 

- Included in the USD 2.5m is a USD 1.5m write back of accrued grant expenditure due to an overall reduction in the Indonesian programme investment of USD 1.5m caused by the withdrawal of a partner, APC, who had previously committed this funding to the programme.

The Power of Nutrition 

Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31 December 2022 

## 4.2.2. Operational Expenditure 

Operating expenses totalling USD 3.2 million (2021: USD 3.6 million) were incurred during the period: 

- The majority of this operating expenditure was funded through an arrangement with one of our founding partners (CIFF). 

- The most significant cost, USD 2.4 million (2021: USD 2.5 million), was staff related; this equates to 75% of our current operating expenses. Staff costs as a percentage of overall operating expenses will likely remain between 70% and 75% if the organisation continues to operate as planned. 

## 4.3. Cashflow 

The net cash outflow from operating activities was USD 1.6 million (2021:USD 1 million). 

Our main programmatic cash inflows consisted of funding from donors totalling USD 7.3 million (2021:USD 14.2 million) and cash outflows to programmes totalling USD 10.4 million (2021: USD 12.8 million) during the year. 

## 4.4. Foreign exchange movement 

Our policy is to convert any currency funds received to USD at the time of receipt. This has better aligned currency funds held with underlying disbursements which are predominantly in USD. 

A loss of USD 0.1 million (2021: loss of USD 0.1 million) was realised in respect of the movement on the USD / GBP currency rate impacting on funds received in GBP and converted to USD. 

## 4.5. Reserves and going concern 

The Trustees have established a Reserves Policy with reference to Charity Commission guidance (CC19) and applicable accounting standards. The Trustees review the level of unrestricted reserves annually having regard to the financial model of the charity, core expenditure and current/forecast income. The Trustees have agreed that it would be desirable for the charity to target unrestricted reserves which are sufficient to cover 12 months average operating expenditure; this equates to $3.2m. However, the Trustees acknowledge that reaching this target will be challenging in the current economic environment.  As a minimum the charity aims to hold unrestricted reserves of $ 1.3 million which is sufficient to cover five months average operating expenditure and which is regarded by the Trustees to provide an adequate minimum contingency to enable the organisation to cover on-going governance, operational and support costs necessary to close-down in an orderly fashion should this be required. The Trustees will consider increasing the level of unrestricted reserves when possible. 

The level of unrestricted reserves is closely monitored by the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee (FAR) to ensure that they remain at an adequate level to provide financial flexibility and as a buffer against operational risk.  The Trustees review the appropriateness of the reserves policy annually as proposed by the FAR.

The Power of Nutrition 

Trustees’ annual report 

## For the year ended 31 December 2022 

Net negative funds totalling USD 7.5 million (2021: USD 6.2 million) of the charitable foundation are considered to be restricted, to be used to fund maternal and child nutrition programmes aimed at reducing child undernutrition and malnutrition worldwide, the current expectation is that funds will be able to be raised ahead of related disbursements becoming due. Funds totalling USD 2.6 million (2021: USD 3.3 million) are considered to be unrestricted. As noted above, to date, operational expenses have substantially been met under an arrangement with one of the funding partners. However, we have begun to diversify our OpEx funding base and have booked USD 2.2 million to date (2021:  USD 2.1 million to date) in respect of OpEx funding from other 3[rd ] party donors. 

- Cash holdings are held where possible in interest bearing accounts. 

- Cash at bank totalled USD 17.7 million (2021: USD 19.3 million) at year end. 

The Board considers that The Power of Nutrition has adequate financial resources to fund its operational expenditure for at least 12 months following the date of this report and a reasonable expectation that it will have adequate resources to continue beyond that point. The accounts have therefore been prepared on the basis that the charitable foundation is a going concern.

of interest and manage their proceedings in accordance with the detailed conflict of interest procedure set out in the charitable foundation’s Articles of Association. Please also see the related party note 17 to the Annual Financial Statements. 

The Board met three times during 2022 (2021: three times). 

## _The Executive_ 

Day-to-day responsibility is delegated to the Executive under the leadership of the Chief Executive who reports to the Board and works closely with the Chair. 

The Executive is responsible for raising new financing, working with the implementing partners to channel the financing to evidence-based investments in nutrition, and reporting to the Board and other key stakeholders. 

The team has structured its operational functions across two key pillars: partnerships & brands (fundraising) and programmes & investments. 

## _Partners_ 

The Power of Nutrition is a growing partnership of funding and implementing partners committed to helping children grow to their full potential. During the year ended 31 December 2022: 

- One founding funding partner committed financing to the organisation. This was CIFF. 

- We continued to work with our two principal implementing partners the World Bank and UNICEF. 

- • We also worked with seven other implementing partners (Save the Children, Nutrition International, Action Against Hunger, Care International, World Vision, GroupM and GiveDirectly), all of whom have been approved by our Board. 

## 5.3. Key policies & risk management 

The Board is responsible for ensuring that the charitable foundation has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable foundation and, therefore, for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities. 

A set of core operating policies guide the day-to-day work of The Power of Nutrition. These include: 

- Managing our Costs & Travel Expense policies 

- Anti-Bribery & Corruption & Anti-Money Laundering policies 

- Whistleblowing policy 

- Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults 

- Equal Opportunities policy 

- Disciplinary & Grievance policy 

- Harassment and Bullying policy 

- Diversity, Equality and Inclusion policy 

- Remuneration and Benefits policy 

- Investment Approval policy 

- Investor Vetting policy

For the year ended 31 December 2022 

- Data Protection policy 

- Brand and Communications policy 

- Privacy policy 

- Health and Safety policy. 

- Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking policy 

The Power of Nutrition is committed to ensuring that it provides a safe and trusted environment which safeguards and promotes the welfare and wellbeing of beneficiaries, our staff and partners. The Power of Nutrition enforces safeguarding practices through its procedures and policies including: 

- ensuring compliance with our Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults policy. 

- a code of conduct for staff. 

- recruiting staff safely by undertaking due diligence on individuals prior to appointment. 

- using our safeguarding procedures to share concerns and relevant information with the appropriate agencies as necessary. 

- using our disciplinary procedures to manage any allegations against staff appropriately. 

- ensuring there are effective complaint and whistleblowing measures in place as per our Whistleblowing policy. 

Our safeguarding policy is reviewed, approved and endorsed by the Board of Trustees annually or when updated after relevant legislation changes. 

The Power of Nutrition requires all partners, agencies and grantees to: 

- have adopted and to comply with a safeguarding policy ensuring equivalent safeguarding standards and mechanisms as provided for in The Power of Nutrition safeguarding policy; or 

- where the partner, agency or grantee has no such policy in place, adhere to The Power of Nutrition safeguarding policy. 

Assisted by the Executive and the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee, the Board reviews and assesses the major risks to which The Power of Nutrition is exposed. Risks are assigned a ‘Gross Risk Score’ based on _likelihood of occurrence_ and _potential impact_ , and a ‘Net Risk Score’ that takes in to account the strength of mitigation measures in place. Taking into account the controls and safeguards currently in place, the key risks and uncertainties identified by the Board are as follows: 

## _Key risks summary_ 

The Power of Nutrition has in place a risk matrix that is reviewed monthly by the Executive team, before every Board meeting by the Finance and Audit Committee, and by the Board of Trustees at every Board meeting. 

Page **16** of **40** 



The Power of Nutrition 

Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31 December 2022 

The organisation has identified the following key risks: 

## _1. Operational expenditure_ 

The organisation needs to continue to raise sufficient additional funding to cover its on-going operating expenditure (OpEx). The organisation is in a process of transition to broaden its OpEx base away from its historical funder, CIFF, and introduce new funders, as well as implementing standard cost recovery from all funders. The organisation currently has OpEx funding commitments to support it for at least the next 12 months. In addition, we constantly review our expenditure to ensure we are a cost-efficient organisation. 

## _2. FCDO budget cuts and implications for match Model_ 

One of our founding funders, FCDO, has been subject to significant budget cuts which has in turn impacted a core element of our offering - match funding from FCDO for every $1 we raise. 

Our response to this has been to launch a new strategy to diversify the funding base of the organisation, to invest in our fundraising team and to develop a range of new products which are not reliant on the match. 

## _3. Future Programme Funding_ 

As explained under paragraph 2.1, there are currently four programmes (Gujarat, Indonesia, Benin and Bangladesh) that are not yet fully funded but where we expect to raise the additional USD 3.8 million required to implement the planned programmes This is a small amount in the context of the USD 549 million which will be utilised by our 21 programmes. In addition to raising future funding, we are currently actively exploring other solutions, including discussions with donors, reducing the scale of some programmes and/or allocating unrestricted funds generated. 

Raising unrestricted funding remains a challenge. This is in part because most donors wish to commit funds to front-line programmes, rather than cover central costs. More unrestricted funding would speed-up partnerships and most importantly get programmes going more quickly. 

The fundraising team continues to actively seek out unrestricted financing, while the finance and audit committee regularly monitors this situation. In addition, to assist with our fundraising efforts, we have strengthened our fundraising team by adding a member based in the Middle East who specialises in fundraising in this geography where we have not previously had a strong presence. 

## _4. Staff retention_ 

Not being able to retain staff is a very high risk in an organisation such as The Power of Nutrition. In a smaller organisation the impact of valued employees leaving can be much greater. 

To mitigate this risk, The Power of Nutrition has been taking a proactive approach by implementing competitive and fair remuneration packages, ensuring that robust human resources policies are in place, developing a clear performance management system, giving employees a voice, and ensuring that they feel listened to, respected and able to contribute to their fullest extent. A new _Benefits and Remuneration Policy_ was approved by the Board in June 2021, after consultation with 

Page **17** of **40** 



The Power of Nutrition 

Trustees’ annual report 

For the year ended 31 December 2022 

all members of the team. Additionally, staff have been fully engaged in the creation of our new Strategy. 

## _Fundraising statement_ 

The Power of Nutrition has for the first time via its Global Malnutrition Crisis Appeal in 2022 engaged in public fundraising and also occasionally uses professional fundraisers. We are a member of the Charity Fundraising Regulator and monitor the relevant fundraising regulations (including the Institute of Fundraising guidelines (UK)) and codes to ensure compliance where relevant. During the year there was compliance with these regulations and codes. The charitable foundation did not receive any complaints relating to its fundraising practise during the year. 

## _Remuneration statement_ 

Salaries for permanent staff across all functions have been set in line with a range of market rate indicators and internal parity. Any salary adjustments made in the year were in line with our Remuneration and Benefits Policy. 

## _Public benefit_ 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, ‘Charities and Public Benefit.’ That guidance addresses the need for all charities’ aims to be, demonstrably, for the public benefit. The trustees consider the facilitation and provision of nutrition services to be wholly for the public’s benefit.

## 6. Statement of responsibilities of Trustees 

The Trustees (who are also Directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and accounting standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which 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 the 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 then apply them consistently. 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- State whether applicable UK accounting standards and statements of recommended practice 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 charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that 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. 

In so far as the Trustees are aware: 

- There is no information relevant to the audit of which the auditors are unaware; and 

- They have taken all necessary steps to ensure that they themselves are aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The membership of The Power of Nutrition comprises the Trustees, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation and the UBS Optimus Foundation and entitles the members to voting rights only. Neither the Trustees nor the Members have any beneficial interest in The Power of Nutrition. 

The Trustees’ Annual Report, incorporating the strategic report and directors’ report, has been approved by the Trustees on 22 September2023 and signed on their behalf by

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members 

The Power of Nutrition 

## For the year ended 31 December 2022 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of The Power of Nutrition (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion, the financial statements: 

- Give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended 

- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice 

- Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 

## Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## Conclusions relating to going concern 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on The Power of Nutrition's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members 

The Power of Nutrition 

## For the year ended 31 December 2022 

## Other Information 

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, including the strategic report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- The information given in the trustees’ annual report, including the strategic report, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- The trustees’ annual report, including the strategic report, has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report including the strategic report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- Adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- Certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the 

Page **21** of **40** 



Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members 

The Power of Nutrition 

For the year ended 31 December 2022 

aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below. 

## Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities 

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: 

- We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to: 

   - Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; 

   - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; 

   - The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

- We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or 

- that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience. 

- We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

- We reviewed any reports made to regulators. 

- We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. 

- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances 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. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
