What’s New on OneGMS – April 2024

POSTED BY Khai Ahmed Salma | 04 Apr 2024 |

We are excited to announce the following new releases in OneGMS and the Data Hub: 

OCHA Assurances Updates

This month, we are introducing significant changes to the OCHA Assurances section of OneGMS. The OCHA Assurances data is now reflecting the new Global Guidelines requirements, ensuring consistency and relevance (primarily for Audit due dates). These updates apply to all projects approved from January 1st, 2023, onwards. Additionally, the OCHA Assurances tab now leverages data from the Timelines tab for each project, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the information provided. Consequently, Final Financial Reports and Final Narrative Reports are now synchronized with timelines, mirroring the alignment seen with Progress Narrative Reports and Interim Financial Reports. 

Adding and Editing Cluster Indicators

Access to cluster indicators has been restricted in the past few months. We now recommend that the management of cluster indicators be limited to two or three focal points per fund, who will be granted access with the "HFU Admin" role, which can be requested through the GMS Support Team. We are committed to being flexible should you need to adjust the designated focal points in the system.

Enhanced Data Hub Cluster Overview Tooltip

We are thrilled to introduce enhancements to the Data Hub, designed to offer you deeper insights into project impact. One notable improvement is the ability to filter data by people Targeted or Reached (1) per cluster. As illustrated below, selecting either filter (1) displays the percentage of people targeted or reached (2) per cluster out of the total number targeted or reached by all the clusters (3). Furthermore, the Data Hub now includes metrics for the number of People Targeted (4) and number of People Reached (5) per cluster in the tooltip, along with the percentage of people reached out of those targeted (6). These enhancements offer valuable data for informed decision-making and evaluation. 

For instance, in 2023, you can now observe that the Food Security cluster targeted 11% (2) of the total 66.9 million people targeted by all clusters (3) through allocations for that year. Furthermore, you can note that the individuals reached by the Food Security cluster represented 21% of the people targeted (6) by the same cluster.
