In 9 years (2017–2025), CERC has managed 12 grants and contributions. Each one is checked against the rules of Policy 002 for every year it was active – 21 checks in all – and every dollar received is shown on this page, with its source and audit status. Our goal: full compliance by 2027.

We are accountable to the young people, communities and partners we work with, and to the donors who trust us. This page brings together all the funds CERC has received since 2017 and how they were spent, from our annual reports, audit reports and financial reports to donors.

Only funds actually received are shown – not budgets or pledges. Use the filters to look at one year, one donor, one project or one type of expense: every figure, chart and table below follows them. All amounts are in US dollars.

2025: a difficult year for CERC

2025 has not been an easy year for CERC financially, mainly because of the sudden closure of USAID.

USAID (DIV) was CERC’s confirmed funder for 2025–2027: it had already committed US$6.5 million to the project Students Acting for Social Accountability (SASA) 2025–2027, in four provinces including South Kivu, North Kivu and Kinshasa, with the possibility of a much wider extension.

With the fall of Bukavu, the provincial capital of South Kivu, CERC had to close its office in Bukavu; funding difficulties also forced it to close its office in Kinshasa. CERC moved to remote work, and the team has focused on developing its applications – EduCheck, GovCheck, UNCAC Tracker and HealthCheck – while continuing to build partnerships with the Government and international institutions and to raise funds from partners.
