CCASClean Cooking · Somalia
Decisions in plain sight.
A national association is only as trustworthy as its rules and the discipline of following them. CCAS publishes its bylaws, every committee minute, every quarterly report and every audit at a permanent URL. Membership categories, voting weights, conflict-of-interest disclosures — all open, all dated, all citable. This page is the index.
Fourteen pages. Six articles. One vote per question.
Ratified at the Founding Assembly, Mogadishu, January 2026. Amended only by two-thirds vote of the General Assembly. The full text is open access under CC-BY 4.0; the latest version is always at the URL below, and every prior version stays citeable.

The policies that keep the table honest.
Beyond the bylaws, CCAS maintains a small set of standing policies that govern day-to-day conduct. Each is published, dated, and reviewed annually by the Steering Committee.
Conflict-of-interest
Every Steering Committee member, working-group lead and Secretariat staffer files an annual disclosure. Disclosures are published. Recusal is mandatory on votes affecting disclosed interests.
Whistleblower
A confidential channel for raising concerns about misuse of funds, ethics violations, or governance failures. Investigated by an external panel within thirty days. No retaliation.
Procurement
All procurement above $5,000 published on the open portal with rationale. Tenders above $25,000 require competitive bidding. Steering Committee approval above $100,000.
Safeguarding
Protects participants in training cohorts, fieldwork and community programmes — especially women and children. Trained safeguarding focal point in every cohort.
Data & privacy
All datasets published under CC-BY 4.0. Personal data minimised, never sold, never shared with third parties for marketing. GDPR-aligned where applicable.
Anti-bribery
Zero-tolerance policy. Annual training for all staff and Steering Committee members. Mandatory reporting of any solicitation.
Audited annually.
Published the same week.
CCAS is audited annually by Deloitte East Africa under the CCAS Financial Charter. The audit report is published the same week it is signed — never edited, never embargoed. The 2025 baseline-year audit will publish in March 2026. Every donor disbursement, every line item, every contract above the procurement threshold is reconciled.
