One platform for every country office.
Veterinary and livelihoods programmes across the Horn of Africa, governed from Berlin, now run on one Dynamics 365 design with local books in each country.
Snapshot
Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany
Veterinary and livelihoods programmes across the Horn, governed from Berlin, with the regional office in Nairobi. The books had been fragmented. Donor reporting waited on the slowest country.

The challenge
A governing office in one country, a regional office in another and country offices in five more, each closing its own books. The slowest country set the pace for every donor report.
What we implemented
1
Finance, grants and projects
One Dynamics 365 design. Local books remain in each country.
2
Payroll
On the same platform, not a file sent in beside it.
3
Donor reporting
Headquarters reads the countries. It does not keep a second ledger.
The result
A donor can follow the money from the country office to Berlin.
What similar organisations can take from it
- Keep local books in each country, on one shared design, so each office can close without waiting for the others.
- Run payroll on the same platform instead of importing a file, so labour cost reaches the grant by dimension.
- Let headquarters read the country ledgers for donor reports, rather than maintaining a second ledger to reconcile.
