Web-based financial reporting tool
2016 UNOPS
The Financial Reporting Tool is a web-based platform that helps the Global Sanitation Fund plan its budget and predict its expenditures.
The Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) is a global, multi-stakeholder partnership that works to ensure sustainable sanitation, better hygiene and safe drinking water is available to the most marginalized communities in the developing world. To achieve this, WSSCC facilitates sector coordination at national, regional and global levels with diverse stakeholders. It supports national sanitation and hygiene programmes through its Global Sanitation Fund (GSF), the world’s leading finance sanitation and hygiene finance facility, which provides funding to national programmes in 26 countries that are most in need of improved sanitation. The GSF’s Financial Reporting Tool is a one-stop grantee reporting and management system, which supports the Fund’s M&E and knowledge management frameworks. Organizations reporting to the GSF (including sub-grantees and Executive Agencies in charge of programme implementation) plug data into the tool in a homogenous format that is then audited and used to generate financial analyses, statistics, and revenue and spending reports.
