About Our Annual Reports
BDI's annual reports are not polished marketing documents designed to impress. They are evidence-based accountability documents designed to inform. Each report is built around BDI's program indicators, financial performance, and the honest assessment of what worked, what did not, and what the organization is doing about it.
We publish these reports because accountability is not something BDI does when asked. It is something BDI does by default — to the communities who trust us, the donors who fund us, the partners who work alongside us, and the Liberian public whose development these programs are meant to serve.

How to Read Our Reports
Indicator Performance
Every report tracks BDI's progress against the program indicators set at the start of the year. Look for the percentage of targets achieved and the explanation of any gaps — this is where the most honest assessment of BDI's performance lives.
Financial Summary
The financial section shows total income, total expenditure, and the breakdown by program area and funding source. This tells you where BDI's money came from and exactly where it went — program by program and county by county.
Community Voices
Each report includes direct testimony from the communities BDI serves. These are not marketing quotes selected to impress — they are representative voices from the program areas that give context and humanity to the numerical results.
Lessons Learned
BDI's reports include a dedicated section on what we would do differently. This is unusual in the NGO sector — and it is what makes BDI's reporting credible. Organizations that only publish their successes have something to hide. BDI does not.
Partner Acknowledgements
Every partner, donor, and supporting institution is acknowledged in the report. The partnership section also describes the nature of each relationship and the specific value each partner contributed — financial and non-financial.
Priorities for the Year Ahead
Each report closes with BDI's priorities for the following year — specific, measurable, and grounded in what the evidence from the current year has shown. This section is the basis against which the next annual report will hold BDI accountable.
Our Reporting Commitment
Many NGOs publish annual reports only when donors require them, and only show the parts of their work that look good. BDI's approach is different. We publish annual reports as a matter of principle — because the communities we serve, the Liberian public, and the wider development sector deserve to know exactly what BDI is doing with the trust and resources they have provided. If you read our reports and have questions, we welcome them.
Published Annually, Every Year
BDI commits to publishing a report for every year of operations, without exception, within six months of the year end.
Publicly Available — No Barriers
All reports are available here as free PDF downloads. No registration required, no email capture, no paywall. Transparency should not have conditions.
Honest About Challenges
BDI's reports include what did not work alongside what did. Selective reporting is a form of dishonesty — and we will not practice it.
Questions Always Welcome
