It is clear that our sector faces unprecedented challenges driven by widespread humanitarian crises, natural disasters, the escalating situation in the Middle East, and continued mass displacements in or around the areas where we work across the African continent.

These circumstances deeply impact our collective focus and ability to eradicate extreme poverty, which remains BOMA’s core mission. In a weak economic climate, youth unemployment continues to rise, amplifying the urgency for BOMA’s adapted solutions. Our commitment to addressing the multidimensional nature of extreme poverty remains resolute: a focus on directly tackling household poverty, creating decent work opportunities for young women and men, and supporting displaced communities to reconstruct their livelihoods and integrate with their host communities.

At BOMA, we are dedicated to leveraging our extensive experience, partnerships, and adaptive models to make meaningful contributions to those facing such adversity. We continue prioritizing collaboration with industry peers around the world, fostering a spirit of learning and providing our expertise from a uniquely African perspective. We remain steadfast in our commitment to keep BOMA’s vision and mission stronger than ever. Our board and team remain resolute on our journey to reach those yet to benefit from our solutions. In our pursuit of delivering greater results across more diverse populations, we have embedded continuous learning into our operations to share challenges, ideas, and innovations to help us deliver greater and longer-lasting impact for our participants.
