- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees have reviewed financial forecasts for the next 12 months and believe that the charity will have sufficient cash resources to meet liabilities as they fall due. They have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “For the peoples and communities of the Horn of Africa, East Africa, Sudan and South Sudan and the Great Lakes regions, 2024 was a volatile period, marked by war in Sudan; conflict in South Sudan; multiple violent conflicts in Ethiopia; a resurgent conflict in Somalia; an insurgency in Puntland and insecurity in Somaliland's contested eastern regions.”
- “In 2024, the Institute experienced a high turnover of staff, but the number of employees remained constant at 26 (including two part-time positions) with all except one based in Africa. RVI's long-term Treasurer, Chris Maynard, stepped down from the board in 2024 and four new trustees joined the board bringing the total to ten.”
- “In 2024, RVI moved out of its office in Stroud and temporarily relocated to Kington in Herefordshire, until a more permanent office was identified.”
