Public benefits
Purpose 1): The elimination of poverty in the world’s poorest countries and regions. The direct benefits which flow from this include giving people living in extreme poverty the tools to ensure they are able to earn a sustainable living, helping them to learn new skills, improve the productivity and nutritional value of their crops and set up small
businesses to generate more income. Purpose 2): The relief of people in need of humanitarian assistance. The direct benefits which flow from this include providing emergency aid, including life-saving nutrition, access to clean water, hygiene and health services to acutely malnourished children. These benefits are demonstrated through monitoring and evaluation of programmes, including internal and external reviews of the work. Part of our adherence to quality programme work means ensuring that independent evaluations are completed at the end of every overseas programme. There can be a risk of harm to Concern staff and programme partners in some countries and regions where the Concern Worldwide group delivers programmes, especially in areas of conflict or during humanitarian emergencies and natural disasters. Concern (NI) Trustees are satisfied that there are appropriate policies and procedures in place in Concern Worldwide (UK) and the Concern Worldwide group to minimise and mitigate risks and ensure that the programme benefits outweigh any potential risks. The beneficiaries are people living in extreme poverty in the world's poorest communities and people in need of emergency relief in humanitarian disasters. There is no private benefit flowing from any of the purposes.
