Pt X, Line 2

The Organization has adopted the application of the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting For Uncertainty in Income Taxes"). The primary tax positions made by the Organization are the existence/non-existence of Unrelated Business Income Tax and the Organization's status as an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization currently evaluates all tax positions, and makes determinations regarding the likelihood of those positions being upheld under review. For the years presented, and as a result of adoption, the Organization has not recognized any tax benefits or loss contingencies for uncertain tax positions based on its evaluations. The Organization's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for the years ending December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, and the six months ending December 31, 2014 are subject to examination by the IRS. Returns are generally subject to examination for 3 years after they are filed.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The Organization has adopted the application of the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting For Uncertainty in Income Taxes"). The primary tax positions made by the Organization are the existence/non-existence of Unrelated Business Income Tax and the Organization's status as an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization currently evaluates all tax positions, and makes determinations regarding the likelihood of those positions being upheld under review. For the years presented, and as a result of adoption, the Organization has not recognized any tax benefits or loss contingencies for uncertain tax positions based on its evaluations. The Organization's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for the years ending December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, and the six months ending December 31, 2014 are subject to examination by the IRS. Returns are generally subject to examination for 3 years after they are filed.

IRS990ScheduleF/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0WEEMA International - United States monitors our Ethiopia activities very closely. The leadership team communicates with our WEEMA - Ethiopia team via email, Skype and/or messaging almost every day and visits our programs and Addis Ababa headquarters personally at least 3 time a year. We receive monthly financial statements from the Ethiopia finance officer which are then reconciled by the WEEMA - United States' finance team. We develop a specific monitoring and evaluation plan for each project to assess its impact. Finally, the Board of Directors reviews all policies and procedures, develops the annual budget and discusses our strategic plan on a yearly basis (in addition to our regular quarterly meetings).
