• 29 partner organisations currently delivering AAGF funded projects
• Opportunity for programmatic rather than project funding (eg water, youth unemployment, gender,
capacity building)
• Systems – deeper analysis of output data from enablon and possible option to build funding and
reporting cycle into MS Project
• Communications – content generation for AA website, Guardian hub, social media and internal
channels plus pilot new events such as lunchtime talks
• Employee engagement in UK with an emphasis on skills development. Option to link into AAGF
partners and include De Beers colleagues
• Devolve London funding and CHT events to a staff committee.
• Beyond 2013…
