Key pollcies
Safeguarding. The trust maintains the highest standards of due diligence when il comes to the
safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and has a detsiled safeguarding policy in place.
addition, it seeks lo ensure that its partners in Tanzania follow similar policies and procedures.
Privacy. TDT'S privacy policy is Consistent with the General Data Protection Regulatlon {GDPRI.
Personal data relating lo donors is stored securely, with lirnited aC￿sS on a "need lo know, basis.
Donors and other parties who receive regular information frorll TDT have an 'opt-out" option. and there
is a right of objection to the way In which personal data is pro¢6ssed and used.
Accounting. TDT follows the accounting guidelines set out by the Charity Commission for a charlly of
ils size. Its accounts are basgd on a cash flow rather than an accruals basis, and be¢ause its turnover
is less than £1.Om, they are independently examined rather than audited.

TANZANIA DEVELOPMENTTRUST
Expenditures are directly related to income. TDT does not spend any money it does not already have.
Because il has no staff, premises or overheads, and funds an adjustable seTies of small short-lerm
projects il holds a relatively low level of rese￿es.
Fund-raising. TDT does not use professional fund-raisers. Ils volunteers rais& money fiorll individuals,
including bul not limited to BTS members, and small Trusts with whom il engages by providing regular
feedba¢k about ils work.
Local representation. The work of TDT'S local ￿presentatIveS in T8nzania is governed by a s&ri8s of
rules intended lo avoid conflicts of inleresl with their other jobs. They are expected lo make it clear to
local communities that TDT will only support proje¢ts that benefit the whole ¢omrNunily irrespective of
faith, race of gender,. the only exception lo this is for projects largeled specifically on improving the lol
of women. Local representatives are not paid for their work bul are allowed to claim Iravelling expenses
tolfrom projects. There are specific rules about bribery, which is not permilled.
Prlncipal risks
The main risks facing the charity are Tanzanian inflation and foreign exchange rale variations, both of
which can subslanlially increase the costs of a proj&cl between submission of the 0￿ginal grant
application and completion of construction work. TDT re¢ognises this, and from time-to-tim& makes
"top-up. grants to offset the increase in costs.
When this occurs, il results in TDT funding fewer projects. However, the pipeline of small projects that
can be turned on or off al short notice means that it does not pose an existential risk lo TDT itself.
Another significant risk is the abilily of local beneficiaries in Tanzania to irllplerllenl their projects lo a
satisfactory standard, on lime and in budget. TDT mitigates this risk by using Projeol Officers lo evaluate
all of its projects before Ihts Telease of any money, and by using local represenlalives lo monitor their
progress and notify the Project Officers of any apparenl problems as soon as they occur.
Financial review
TDT'S income and expenditure have been gradually increasing over lime, althoLJgh like many small
charitie5, they Ilucluale from year-lo-year as a result of legacies and other large. one-off donations.
