1. Overview :
Amna, meaning safety in Arabic, is a refugee-centred organisation that supports mental health and community-led healing. We equip displaced communities with the tools to heal, build resilience, and restore a sense of belonging.
Rooted in evidence and lived experience, our global work empowers frontline organisations to deliver trauma- and identity-informed care. Through safe, culturally grounded spaces, we help break cycles of trauma and support long-term recovery.
Amna is currently undertaking a broader organisational strengthening exercise focused on improving operational resilience, financial sustainability, governance, compliance, and readiness for future growth. This consultancy forms part of that wider organisational development agenda and will inform future decisions on systems, processes, structures and investment priorities.
2. Objective
Amna's finance function is now fully resourced, creating the right moment to review and strengthen the organisation's financial systems and processes. This consultancy is commissioned to establish the added value of a review of Amna's finance ecosystem, and to identify practical, costed solutions to support the organisation's next stage of growth.
The objective of this consultancy is to support Amna in diagnosing its current financial ecosystem, whether its financial systems, processes, controls, reporting structures, governance arrangements and operating model are fit for purpose for its current and anticipated scale. Based on this diagnosis and mapping out relevant, costed solutions for a future finance system upgrade and/or procurement,linking Amna's core business activities and income-generating activities with donor compliance requirements and UK charity compliance obligations and strengthen organisational decision-making, grant management, forecasting and organisational sustainability over the next 3–5 years.
2. Scope of Work
The consultancy should not assume that technology is the preferred solution. Recommendations should distinguish between issues that can be addressed through changes in processes, governance, roles and responsibilities, staff capacity or systems, and should prioritise solutions according to value for money, organisational readiness and expected impact
