PROJECT BACKGROUND

  1. Rationale for the Project

Action Against Hunger is leading the global fight against hunger and malnutrition amongst the most vulnerable population in northern Nigeria since 2010. We achieve this through an integrated, multisectoral programme approach delivering lifesaving assistance addressing water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), nutrition and health, food security and livelihood and social protection needs of internally displaced persons, refugees, migrants and host communities. The organisation is at the fore to ensure households and communities are free from hunger by empowering community people to engage in food security initiatives to promote nutrition, access healthcare for the treatment of all forms of malnutrition. Our actions promote access to clean and safe water; enhance capacities for resilience and resilient livelihoods; promote system strengthening and domestication of policies to promote conflict-sensitive governance approaches as well as support to rebuild and restore the dignity of vulnerable individuals and communities occasioned as a result of natural causes or conflict. Action Against Hunger thrives as a result of the enabling environment and close partnership with the Nigerian government. We continue to make incremental impact in the lives of people through close coordination with international partners, civil societies, non-governmental organizations, media and private sector to change the way hunger is addressed, to reverse the hunger trend in Nigeria.

With the selfless services of 375 staff on the frontlines in Borno, Yobe, Kano, Jigawa and Sokoto states and a coordination office in Abuja, we remain committed to breaking cycles of hunger through continuous evidence-based advocacy, nutrition and health initiatives, WASH programs and long term food security initiatives.

In 2020, the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 1990 was repealed and a new version was introduce as CAMA 2020 (“the Act”). . It also introduce the Corporate Affairs Commission (“CAC”) as regulator.

The new enacted Act leads to the registration of iNGO such as Action Against Hunger to as Nigerian legal entities to comply with the regulation.

On 15th December 2022, the Board of Action Against Hunger in France agreed to the creation of a CLG in Nigeria to continue our operations in Nigeria and to comply with the CAMA legislation. This project is aimed at ensuring Action Against Hunger full compliance to this new regulation.

This review will include risk analysis on potential tax impacts for AAH in Nigeria and for the CLG. This analysis will also include recommendation on transactions to be booked in the new entity “CLG”.
  • Training of the local finance team on legal requirements in terms of (non-exhaustive list) tax declaration, social tax and every other legal obligation for the CLG.

Part II: Support on accounting
