  • Establish financial mechanisms that enable WVT to monitor the FCI 80/20 efficiency commitment, including tracking the proportion of resources reaching frontline health workers, hubs, spokes, faith-based facilities and community service-delivery platforms against programme-management and administrative expenditure.
  • Develop practical cost-efficiency analyses, including where appropriate: cost per hub and spoke; cost per frontline health worker supported; cost per facility/community platform; partner management costs; unit costs for major interventions; management and administrative cost ratios.
  • Review expenditures, general-ledger coding, journal entries, reconciliations, advances, partner liquidations and supporting documentation to ensure costs are accurate, properly approved, allowable and charged to the correct budget and activity.
  • Prepare accurate and timely monthly, quarterly, annual and donor financial reports, including burn-rate analysis; budget variances; pipeline forecasts; partner expenditure performance; commitments and obligations; and management recommendations.
  • Manage country cash flow and funds requests in accordance with approved work plans and implementation requirements while avoiding unnecessary accumulation of cash or interruption of programme implementation.
  • Manage financial flows to consortium and local implementing partners, including consortium members, faith-based partners and community implementing organizations, ensuring timely disbursement, utilization, reconciliation and accountability.
  • Maintain appropriate financial monitoring of implementation resources distributed across hubs, spokes, community platforms and participating partners, with sufficient visibility of expenditures by geography, partner and major intervention.
