Global Disbursement Process Report

 

I) What is the Global Disbursement Fund Process Report?  Top

The Global Disbursement Process Report provides users with an extensive overview of Disbursement data of all – or filtered, projects. It includes the average number of days it took the CBPF finance team to process the disbursement tranches, as well as the dates and disbursements’ amounts.

GMS Focus: What is the difference between Global and Fund Disbursement Process Report? 

Both Global and CBPF disbursement process report modules provide the same functionality, the only difference is the scale of the data provided. While the CBPF disbursement process report shows the data only for one specific country, the Global report allows for the selection of several countries (all countries that a user has access to in GMS will show in the filter option for Global Milestones). The Global module is available for CBPF Finance and CBPF Programme units on GMS (HQ teams). 

To learn more about the Fund Disbursement Process Report module, please refer to this article of the Help Portal.

Columns Description:

  • Organization: displays the organization’s acronym
  • Project code: displays the project code
  • Project status: displays the project status
  • Cluster: displays the cluster(s) of the project
  • Budget: displays the latest approved project budget.
  • GA signed by EO: displays the signature date of the EO.
  • 1st/2nd/3rd etc disbursement date: displays the date of the tranche disbursement. In case of a blank field, it means the disbursement has either not been done yet, or that there is no need for this disbursement (for instance, a 3rd disbursement is not always needed, as funds can be disbursed in two tranches only according to the operational modalities applicable to the project).
  • 1st/2nd/3rd etc. Financial report certification date: displays the date of report certification by CBPF Finance.
  • Average number of days: displays the average number of days CBPF Finance took for all disbursements combined for a specific project, e.g. if CBPF Finance took 6 days to disburse the first tranche for a project after EO signature, and 8 days to disburse the subsequent tranche after certification of the financial report, then CBPF Finance took on average 7 days for disbursement (which would be displayed in the last column of the report).
  • Average number of days of the entire list with number of projects (see screenshot, red square): displays the average number of days CBPF Finance took for all disbursements combined for the entire list of project generated after clicking on [filter]. The number of projects this figure refers to is also displayed. (e.g. in the screenshot above: there was an average of 8.27 days for 74 projects).

It draws the data from all figures of the ‘Average numbers of days’ column and calculates the average.
