JOA’s experienced staff are responsible for ensuring that the Island’s contribution to overseas aid is both targeted and effective. This is achieved through rigorous project selection, monitoring and oversight, which takes place in JOA’s office, here in Jersey, and through field trips to projects overseas.

International development and humanitarian organisations – such as UNICEF, UNHCR, the British Red Cross and Comic Relief – are responsible for implementing the selected projects, which range from the supply of clean water in Yemen in the midst of a cholera outbreak, to improving the health and income of communities in Rwanda by cross-breeding Jersey cows with indigenous breeds.
