The Grant Management System (GMS) is a web-based platform that supports the management of the entire grant life cycle. The GMS promotes efficiency, effectiveness and supports risk management. GMS harmonizes business processes while catering to the special needs of each fund. The system strengthens data analysis and information management capacity.

GMS streamlines allocations and facilitates interaction among all stakeholders involved in the grant management process, supporting them in discharging their functions. GMS allows grant recipients to submit project proposals online. Financial and narrative reporting can therefore be done in real time, together with any project revisions. The system provides for real time tracking of processes, tasks, reminders and feedback.

GMS is a robust mechanism allowing fund managers to oversee and monitor business processes. The system can be integrated with other related online systems. This real time access to data allows clients to quickly provide information and analysis on questions raised both at the field and headquarters level.

GMS also allows for proper monitoring and accounting of fund management performance. The system monitors the speed and the quality of different processes, including allocations, disbursement of funds, monitoring, reporting and audits.

GMS' Business Intelligence modules are publicly accessible and will provide real time data, including commitments, contributions, allocations, recipient partners, geographical coverage, and funding distribution among clusters.
