ABG Approach to Community Investment
14
- We are often asked to support a number of community based efforts,
particularly in the context of health, education, environment, development & training
- ABG intends to support such requests and programmes wherever practical, to
enable the fulfilment of community development plans and objectives
- We have adopted a specific Community Investment and Donations Policy for
the assessment of requests for donations, sponsorship, partnerships or any
- ther form of assistance
- In addition to this Policy we have established:
‒ a Community Investment Committee to assist our Community Relations
team with the management of our community investment and donation programmes
‒ a Community Investment Fund, the “MAENDELEO FUND”, for purposes of
allocating funds to meet our community investment commitments
The Maendeleo Fund

appropriately fund community development plans and projects.

determined on an annual basis by ABG’s Committee Investment Committee:
‒ expenditure within the host communities around each of the ABG

‒ ABG initiatives in relation to community development and improvement
(i.e. initiatives in multiple areas such as surgical missions and other NGO partnerships)
‒ philanthropic donations and expenditure ‒ educational and training sponsorships to build capacity in the Tanzanian
