Approach in Action

Project Delivery and Implementation Support

Getting a slow donor-financed project moving: governance, procurement, disbursement and results.

The problem we solve

Many financed projects disburse slowly because several small problems add up: decisions wait, designs or land are not ready, procurement stalls, documents for withdrawals are incomplete and key posts are vacant. Recovery needs a clear diagnosis and a short list of actions with owners.

Our method, phase by phase

1

Rapid diagnosis

  • Review the work plan, procurement plan, disbursement and results data
  • Interview the project unit, implementing agencies and the financier's team
  • Map the blocking problems and their causes
Deliverable: Diagnostic note with the ten blocking problems
2

Recovery plan

  • Agree actions, owners and dates for each problem with the steering committee
  • Rebuild the work plan around the critical path
  • Set a disbursement forecast by quarter
Deliverable: Recovery plan and disbursement forecast
3

Hands-on support

  • Clear the procurement backlog with the procurement team
  • Prepare withdrawal applications and interim financial reports
  • Coach contract managers on progress and variation control
Deliverable: Backlog cleared; reports on time
4

Capacity and systems

  • Train the team on the financier's procedures
  • Set up trackers for decisions, procurement, contracts and safeguards
  • Monthly dashboard for the steering committee
Deliverable: Trained team and working trackers
5

Review and handover

  • Measure progress against the recovery plan
  • Prepare for the mid-term review or restructuring
  • Hand over tools and routines to the unit
Deliverable: Progress report and handover pack
