Maverick Indonesia

Greeting from Jakarta!

We would like to share with you the March 12, 2007 report from Independent Auditor’s report on 2006 Financial Statements of HOPE worldwide Indonesia (locally registered as Yayasan Hope Indonesia) :

As many of you may notice, There has been plenty of pressure among the media regarding accountability issue of NGOs in Indonesia. President of Indonesia request more regulation on NGOs for professionalism, The Global Fund for Aid Tuberculosis, and Malaria has frozen its funding for Indonesia since April 2007 after discrepancies reported by Pricewaterhouse Cooper, Oxfam scandal in Aceh, The World Bank’s Director scandal are just some of the coverage we have seen in the media lately.

Every year without failure, HOPE worldwide Indonesia is audited by independent auditor to keep up with our core values and beliefs, which is headed by Accountability. Charity Navigator , the international NGO watchdog for 6 years in a row since its formation has awarded  HOPE worldwide 4 star rating (highest one for exceptional) in fiscal management. Only 45 non profit organization are recipient of such honor, in which only 29 are NGos while 19 are top universities. (www.charitynavigator.org).

In 2005, Resource Alliance also recognized HOPE worldwide Indonesia as one of the NGOs in Asia Pacific that “have very good practices in the areas of resource mobilization and governance, accountability, transparency”.

With your support, we are able to continue services to the people of Indonesia holding on to these principals.
