Improved management of financial and human resources in pursuit of results

The CO managed to achieve its target in 2022 and followed cost reduction and cost-cutting approach by regularly monitoring project budget and management budgets. Emphasis was put forward to utilise every single dollar contributed by the donors. This approach has resulted to minimise the balance against 4 operationally closed projects in 2022 where the balance amount was less than $1000 for 3 projects and $10,000 for 1 project. The $10,000 balance was left due to technical issues of Atlas as the Atlas report indicated that the balance was less than $1000 dollar. However while communicating with RO, the CO was informed of the higher balance and technical issues which is yet to review why this was occurred. Responsible staff were held accountable and regularly reminded to manage the project budget especially the Non-CORE and spend them as it is agreed in the AWP. This has helped the CO in totality to manage 2022 budget and expenditure better than the previous years
