Our Services

Source for donors, sponsors, grants, and resources globally

NGOs have come up against donor saturation globally. To enable our members to overcome this challenge, we seek donors, sponsors, grants, and other resources for our members.

 

Networking

Networking encourages joint problem-solving, resource exchange, cooperation, coordination, and coalition building. Networking is important because it brings together institutional capabilities and human resources in the form of skills, experiences, and ideas to tackle common problems that are often beyond the capacity of a single organization.

An NGO may have legitimacy in its local or national environment, but forming international partnerships may enhance its legitimacy outside its national borders.

Restructuring NGOs for global competition

Globalization exerts opposing pressures on NGOs' governance structure. A functional NGO governance structure should provide a mechanism to ensure that the organization and its members have three things: legitimacy, accountability, and effectiveness.

I-AAN works to provide our members with an international governance structure that helps to strengthen the legitimacy, accountability, and effectiveness of the NGO.

Audit 

Audits are important for NGOs as they demonstrate a commitment to transparency and accountability and bring credibility to the organization. It is also a legal requirement in most countries to have the financial statements reviewed by an independent auditor once a year.

On occasion, donor agencies may request an independent external audit of records and activities, and IAAN will appoint a qualified independent accountant to undertake a review. The primary purpose of such a review is to check that grants and other donor funds are being used as intended and in
In accordance with the budget in the original funding agreement.
