Program accountability

Track supplies, procurement, and field operations with donor-ready evidence.

NGOs use AWRA to manage program supplies, field requests, procurement approvals, transfers, and reporting across locations.

Procurement software for NGOs
NGOs & Field Programs operations

The problem

Donors ask for evidence that most NGOs hold in five places: the procurement file, the stores ledger, the email thread, the field office and somebody’s memory.

Field requests by message

A field office asks for supplies on WhatsApp, and the approval is a reply that says ok.

Procurement evidence assembled late

Quotes, awards and receipts are gathered into a folder when the audit is announced.

Programme stock nobody can account for

Supplies leave the central store and the field office never confirms what arrived.

How AWRA solves it

What NGOs & Field Programs teams get.

Field offices raise tickets through a self-service portal without needing a login, and each one carries an SLA, an owner and a satisfaction rating at the end.

Route every procurement request, RFQ and stock adjustment through one Approvals Hub, with each decision in the audit log.

Improve accountability for stock, procurement, approvals, and field-office movement.

Keep program teams and finance aligned on requests, spend, and availability.

Prepare cleaner operational evidence for audits, donors, and leadership reviews.

Run programme-staff payroll with PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and the housing levy handled, and allocate the cost to the grant that funds the post.

Program stock movement

  1. 1 Assign stock to program/location
  2. 2 Dispatch transfer
  3. 3 Receive in field office
  4. 4 Report consumption or variance

Donor-ready review

Example organisation

A health NGO with four field offices

An illustrative profile, not a named customer

Where they are today

A Nairobi warehouse supplying four county offices, two donor grants, and a procurement file per purchase kept in a shared drive.

Where they would start

They would start with the central warehouse and field-office transfers, then move procurement onto AWRA before the next donor report.

How the six-step rollout works

What changes after implementation

Before and after, in the routines you already run.

Before After
Approvals as message replies Approvals recorded against the request in the Approvals Hub
Procurement file assembled for the audit Request, quotes, award and order linked as they happen
Field receipt unconfirmed Transfers signed for at both ends, even offline
Grant spend reconstructed Spend and payroll allocated as they are recorded

How the rollout goes

1

Start with programs, locations, item categories, requester roles, and approval thresholds.

2

Use field-office rollout waves so each location validates stock balances before go-live.

3

Document procurement and issue-out policies inside the help center for repeatable adoption.

What you can measure afterwards

Program stock coverage
Approval compliance
Spend by program
Transfer completion
Variance rate

Questions

What NGOs & Field Programs buyers ask.

Can AWRA produce procurement evidence for donors?

The request, the RFQ, every quotation, the award reason and the purchase order stay linked on one record, so the evidence for a purchase exists the day it happens rather than being assembled for the audit.

How do approvals work for field requests?

A request waits in the Approvals Hub for someone holding the approve permission, and the decision is logged with who and when. Routing a large request to a second approver by its value is something we can add for your workspace.

Does it work in field offices with poor connectivity?

Yes. The mobile app queues transfers, receipts, counts and signatures on the device and syncs them when the signal returns.

Can payroll be charged to a grant?

Programme-staff payroll runs with Kenyan statutory deductions handled, and the cost can be allocated to the grant that funds the post.
