The aim of this report is to clearly communicate the year's activities to stakeholders, donors and policymakers in a fresh, unique and appropriate way – without being ostentatious. Concern Worldwide’s desire to be transparent about how money is spent plays an important role in the design execution. The cover design is always of paramount importance. This year the financial statements were made even more accessible by giving them their own cover. A special section in the centre of the report is dedicated to a selection of Concern Worldwide's innovative projects across the world. This was designed with a slightly narrower page width to allow it to stand out from the rest of the report. The fine vertical lines that run through the report are a graphic nod to the notion that all four programme areas (emergencies / livelihoods / health and nutrition / education) are 'threads' running through all projects.
