What it reported doing in 2024
Kajiado County Southern Kenya: Between February and April in 2024 enumerators trained by Amboseli Trust for Elephants ATE surveyed a total of 2982 pastoralists in the seven group ranches adjacent to Amboseli National Park including Selengei Imbirikani Kimana Kuku Nasaru Olgulului and Rombo. IVO added One-Health-One-Welfare OHOW questions to the survey with the four primary objectives to: 1. Estimate the number of domestic animals owned at the household level and identify ownership trends between group ranches. 2. Identify common health symptoms and trends affecting domestic animals at the group ranch level and across the seven surveyed group ranches. 3. Identify common health symptoms and trends affecting people at the group ranch level and across the seven surveyed group ranches. 4. Understand pastoralist community members greatest animal health issues and concerns at the group ranch level and across the seven surveyed group ranches. Between October 11 to 24 2024 IVOs three-person team visited Kenya and conducted semi-structured community engagement events in four different communities coordinated by ATE Big Life and Lion Guardians. The community engagement objectives included: 1. Building trust and relationships with the communities 2. Sharing OHOW survey results 3. Requesting feedback directly from community members 4. Offering basic training in One Health and ways to improve health outcomes in domestic animals and people. Lastly a critical component of the pilot visit strategy included exploring opportunities for partnership and identifying opportunities for interventions in a future initiative.

The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
