Annual reports
In the annual reports, you can read about the organization, and also see our financial report. ALEF's finances are audited every year by an authorized public accountant, as well as by the Swedish Fundraising Control, which ensures that we live up to the requirements for holding a 90 account.
Our annual reports for 2022 and onwards are published in Swedish and English. Earlier years are available in Swedish only.

Evaluations
In 2024, Prof Carol Benson and Dr Erina Iwasaki of research and evaluation company MLE International conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the ALEF method. Part I draws on 450 participant testimonies from Uganda, Togo and D.R.Congo. Part II makes use of field observations, interviews and project data from Uganda and D.R.Congo.
In 2017, two students from Sahlgrenska Academy at Gothenburg University each wrote a study of ALEF partner CACI's project in Uganda. They investigated how the women who participated in the project changed their lives and their way of thinking. In 2024, Robin Hermansson, also at Sahlgrenska, wrote his master's thesis on ALEF : a quantitative analysis of impact on participants' literacy skills, health and children's schooling.
