The purpose of this essay was to identify the primary stakeholder in aid organisations, by which we mean whom they make their annual report for, and to analyse if there were any Differences considering the design of their annual reports depending on which their primary stakeholder is. The method we used to explain the choice of primary stakeholder and the Differences in the annual reports was a multiple case study.

We found that aid organisations do not have a primary stakeholder as in incorporated organisations.
