Version 1.0 · 10 October 2026 · Proposed operating framework for partnership discussion
We propose the following process for approved programmes. Before a programme starts, its accountable people, approval authorities, records and reporting frequency must be agreed. This page describes the framework we are developing; it does not claim that every control or digital feature is already operational.
- Assess the need
Record the local need, proposed beneficiaries, baseline information and evidence. Identify ownership, permissions and technical assessments needed.
- Define the programme
Agree objectives, scope and exclusions, deliverables, outcome indicators and maintenance needs. Separate intended benefits from measured results.
- Approve responsibilities and resources
Identify the accountable programme lead, stakeholder roles and approval authority. Confirm the budget, funding arrangements, permissions and written agreements before committing to implementation.
- Plan the work
Break the approved scope into work packages using a work breakdown structure (WBS). Assign responsible people, milestones, dependencies, acceptance criteria and reporting dates.
- Execute and record
Stakeholders complete assigned work and provide progress updates with dated supporting evidence. Document versions, site observations and expenditure records follow the programme’s agreed controls.
- Review progress and quality
The programme lead reviews updates, resolves issues and verifies deliverables. Overall progress follows agreed milestones or deliverable weights rather than a simple average of individual percentages.
- Control expenditure and changes
Track the approved budget, receipts, expenditure and commitments. Record risks, conflicts of interest, issues and decisions. Obtain the designated approvals for changes to scope, budget or schedule.
- Report to stakeholders
Provide dated milestone, financial and outcome summaries at the agreed frequency. Identify delays, corrective actions and decisions required. Access follows each stakeholder’s agreed role.
- Accept and hand over
Record inspections, acceptance of deliverables, financial reconciliation and handover. Confirm the owner of operation and maintenance, responsibilities and unresolved items.
- Evaluate and learn
Review outcomes against the baseline at agreed intervals. Document limitations, lessons and follow-up actions. Publish only approved information, respecting consent and confidentiality.
Responsibilities and approvals
Each programme identifies responsibility for delivery, technical acceptance, expenditure approval, financial review and escalation. Conflicts of interest must be disclosed and affected decision-makers must step aside where appropriate. Authority follows the programme’s written arrangements.
What a partner progress report contains
Programme stage, last-updated date, accountable lead, planned and completed milestones, budget and expenditure, key risks, decisions required and the next reporting date. Reports link to approved evidence and distinguish delivery outputs from measured outcomes.
Information access and document protection
Public pages carry approved summaries and aggregate outcomes. Detailed records are shared according to authorised roles. Beneficiary personal information, bank details, contracts and confidential documents are not placed in public updates. Specific permission is required to publish a person’s name, photograph or story.
One account with access by programme and role
Our existing participant registration and sign-in services remain the entry point. In the planned project work module, approved and assigned stakeholders will use the same participant credentials. Role-based WBS assignments, progress updates, file uploads, reviews and programme dashboards will be delivered in a later phase. Registration alone does not grant project access.
