"From our team's perspective, having AfID volunteers work closely with our staff have significantly improved our business. We now have improved processes, a greater level of accountability and transparency to donors, and the systems put in place mean we're now managing the entire organisation so much more efficiently.
Best of all, our staff have improved their confidence in implementing financial processes, and they gained fantastic professional development as a result of receiving mentoring and support from the volunteers. AfID and their volunteers have completely exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be more grateful for the support we have received."

To me being the most qualified and knowledgeable Finance employee was new, it gave me a lot of confidence to realise how valuable my skills can be, I improved my coaching and developed mentoring skills. Communication in a foreign language that I was not fluent in made me realise the importance of communication, the different forms of communication and improved my communication skills. I was faced with a few challenges, had to think outside the box and demonstrate a lot of patience."
