How it fits together

Civora is one set of records shared by every department. Work moves from one department to the next without anyone typing it again, and every figure on a report traces back to the record it came from.

From funding to spending

  1. 1Grants & Funding

    An opportunity is won and becomes a grant with rules, tranches and deadlines.

  2. 2Programmes

    Projects funded by the grant get budget lines and activities.

  3. 3Everyday work for everyone

    Staff raise expense requests on those lines; donor rules are checked.

  4. 4Procurement & Logistics

    Purchases are bought by the right method; goods are received.

  5. 5Finance & Accounting

    Finance pays; the ledger shows spending by grant, and budgets agree with the books.

From the field to the donor

  1. 1Programmes

    Field staff report what was done, with evidence, even offline.

  2. 2Programmes

    Supervisors review and approve the report.

  3. 3Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning

    M&E validates it into indicator results; variances are explained.

  4. 4Grants & Funding

    The donor report pack combines results, spending and evidence for the period.

  5. 5Presentations

    The same figures become a donor review deck.

From hiring to payroll

  1. 1Human Resources

    A post is approved with its funding; an applicant is hired after safer-recruitment checks.

  2. 2Human Resources

    The salary is split across grant budget lines; timesheets certify time per grant.

  3. 3Finance & Accounting

    Finance approves payroll; the cost posts to each grant.

  4. 4Executive Office & Governance

    The statutory remittance marks the month's obligation filed.

From a decision to its follow-up

  1. 1Executive Office & Governance

    Board resolutions, evaluations, data checks and risk reviews raise actions.

  2. 2Everyday work for everyone

    Each action reaches its owner's Approvals inbox with a date.

  3. 3Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning

    Recommendations are tracked to closure, with what was done.
