ANIMA – 2020 Annual Report
Published on 07 July 2022
As we all know, 2020 is a very special year, as all our economies have been hit by the health crisis that has been raging since the beginning of the year. In this context, we had to resist, adapt and sometimes reinvent ourselves.
With 102 activities carried out during the year, ANIMA and its partners have fulfilled their commitments to their donors and also to their beneficiaries, the companies, entrepreneurs and economic development support organisations. Our results are very satisfactory, whether it is on the business environment that we have contributed to improve, on the capacity building of organisations and companies, which we have continued throughout the year, or on the partnerships and business links that we have continued to build to strengthen the inclusive and sustainable impact of companies and investors.
In 2020, ANMA continued to structure its association. We launched new digital communication tools, created new committees within the Board of Directors to bring the association’s activities closer to the concerns of its members, and launched a fundamental work to strengthen our governance, federate our members around the association, and develop new partnerships.
There are many challenges in our Mediterranean countries: the revival and competitiveness of our economies, the return of attractiveness, climate and sustainable development issues, dialogue and cooperation between organisations and companies in our countries. Our members have set ANIMA several objectives two years ago, to contribute, collectively
with the network and partners, to taking its full role in helping to address these issues.
The year 2020 has enabled significant progress to be made and I would like to assure our partners that we intend to continue along this path in the years to come.
Tarak Chérif, President
