£120,000

The African Academy of Sciences (AAS) is strengthening financial management of grants by developing a good financial grant ecosystem, that whilst developed in Africa is applicable to the Global Grant Community. By being applicable across borders, geographical regions and sectors, it will help ensure buy in and adoption by global funding agencies and grantors. Wellcome have supported the development of the Global Grant Community – Good Financial Grant Practice by providing the initial £0.5m funding, which catalysed GFGP and additional funding from other funders of circa £3m and supporting Genny to provide advisory and operational support to AAS, Michael Kilpatrick who is based in Nairobi at the AAS and the initiative, initially for one day a week, while Genny was seconded to Sanger as their CFO and for the past year on a full time basis. The requested funding will enable Genny to continue to work with the AAS in the development of this initiative alongside the new role as CFO of the OUCRU as an employee of Oxford University.
