Message from the Chief Administrative Officer
AWEPA successfully renewed its Somalia programme with
the Netherlands on the basis of the Agreement 2012 –
2015, and with the European Union on the basis of the
Bridge Contract 2013 which led to a new contract for the
2014 – 2016 period.
Having implemented four programmes from contracts
with the EU without a tender, the EU and AWEPA agreed to
carry out a system audit. All internal control systems were
controlled and tested. On the basis of the outcome of the
audit, these were then strengthened to be more effective
and new Protocols and Guidelines were introduced.
During the year, AWEPA completed introducing the
bookkeeping system AccountView© to its African offices.
Not only has this allowed for consulting financial data
anywhere at any time, it has also enabled a much faster
integration of financial data into our bookkeeping system.
Financial support for the institution of AWEPA is vital
to our continuity. Without funding to bring together
our leadership bodies, employ support staff, carry out
research, make needs assessments and adequately
present AWEPA to (current and potential) donors
and partners, we would be unable to implement our
programmes. We are therefore extremely grateful to our
donors who support AWEPA’s basic institutional needs.
On behalf of AWEPA, I would like to thank all our donors
for their constant support of our important work, and to
our partners and staff for their continued dedication to the
mission.
Mr. Theo Kralt, MSc
Chief Administrative Officer
A Year in Reflection
2013 proved to be another
challenging year financially;
nevertheless through the
support of our donors, our
political leadership and our
committed staff, AWEPA
continued its efforts to work
in cooperation with African parliaments to strengthen
parliamentary democracy in Africa, to keep Africa high
on the political agenda in Europe and to facilitate African-
European parliamentary dialogue.
2013 2012
Turnover increased to € 7.776.821 € 6.943.100
Expenditure:
Specific Project Expenses € 5.918.721 € 4.742.500
Basic Project Expenses € 2.032.780 € 2.216.565
During the year, the programmes and budgets for
AWEPA’s Somalia, South Sudan, Zimbabwe and South
African Provincial Legislature (SAPL) programmes were
restructured with approval by donors. This meant that
around three hundred thousand Euro of costs for staff
and offices could be booked directly into programme
budget lines in these programmes as was already the case
with the Belgium programme. The programme funded by
the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) in the Southern
African region was also restructured into two parts; one
for Development Effectiveness and a second for the
support and further professionalization of the Southern
Development African Community Parliamentary Forum
(SADC-PF).

Dear Governing Council Members,
I, the undersigned Ms. Katharine Bulbulia, discussed the AWEPA Financial Statement 2013 and additional documents

representative of the Executive Committee for finance, Mr. Martin Smeding, Senior Financial Officer, Mr. Erick Hoekzema,

Based on the financial information presented in consultation with Mr. Kralt on Friday 27th June 2014, I, the undersigned,
