The following are the key features of the FMA tech-enabled tool;
1. Ability to track the funding burn rate and usage against the project’s budget per activity and per outcome area. This will monitor funds use to enhance transparency and accountability to donors and development partners.
2. Progress dashboard is generated to summarise different parameters of project implementation, including activities undertaken, stakeholders involved, geographical locations, progress in achieving the outcomes, and Key Performance Indicators.
3. Leveraging on Artificial Intelligence (AI), the tool has ability to generate project reports of any desired period, with a flexibility to showcase different reporting parameters or sub-headings as required. This saves time on bulky reporting and zooming in to specific information speeds up decision-making.
4. Ability to showcase the Top 5 most frequently activities undertaken, pointing out the top performing project officers or teams in project implementation. This enhances project effectiveness and efficiency.
5. Use of Google Map to visualize project progress and amount of funds spent geographically, adding any other information that would be required on the geo tags. This summarises information for quick presentation and decision-making.
6. Enables working collaboratively among team members, as they are able to jointly contribute towards the completion of tasks on time. This infuses varied ideas and perspectives into the project, enhances innovative solutions, and improves productivity in project implementation processes.
7. Email alerts and reminders of project activity deadlines to ensure timelines are met. This results in enhanced project efficiency and timely delivery.
8. Compatibility with Excel guarantees ability to upload of bulk data reducing time wastage in data entry. This adds value to the project team as they can maximize their time in project delivery.
