THE CONFLICT AND ENVIRONMENT OBSERVATORY

CEOBS monitors and collects data on the impact of armed conflicts and military activities on the environment, human health and livelihoods. We work with a range of stakeholders to research and develop tools to allow those affected by conflicts to collect environmental and health data, and monitor the state of legal protection for the environment in relation to armed conflicts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending since inception
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 7 years
