One record for the AfDB project unit: money, procurement and results
Project implementation units on African Development Bank loans and grants report on the special account, procurement and the results-based logical framework, often across several implementing agencies. projectsmanager.ai keeps these in one place and links every figure to the records it came from.
Where AfDB supervision tends to focus
The financing agreement, disbursement letter and project implementation manual set the rules for each operation. The points below are common, not universal; check your own documents.
Special account and disbursement
Projects often use a special account replenished on justification of expenditure, alongside direct payment and reimbursement. Supervision looks at the age of unjustified advances and the pace of disbursement.
Periodic financial and progress reports
Quarterly progress reports and interim financial reports, typically showing sources and uses of funds by component and category against the budget, and reconciling to the special account.
Procurement
Operations approved under the Bank Group's procurement policy follow its methods and procedures, against an agreed procurement plan. Some operations use national systems where the Bank has accepted them.
Results-based logical framework
Outcome and output indicators with baselines and targets feed the Bank's implementation progress and results reporting. Supervision missions ask for actual values and the evidence behind them.

Activities by component with budget, timing and the responsible agency, approved through a recorded workflow.
Advances
