Administration
PMBOK-aligned project management from kickoff to final handover — the connective tissue that holds every stage together.
Administration is the most underestimated element in infrastructure and development projects. When projects fail their administrative obligations — late reporting, poor financial control, inadequate documentation, or weak change management — disbursements are delayed, auditors raise findings, and project owners face contractual exposure they did not plan for.
PMBOK-aligned 5-phase lifecycle. WBS, schedule, risk register, stakeholder management. Named Project Manager with full accountability.
Cost tracking, budget forecasting, variation account, invoice management. Financial reports in donor-specified format and frequency.
FIDIC-based subcontractor management. Variation and change control. Claims management. Contractual correspondence and formal notices.
Progress reports, financial reports, and compliance reports in the format and at the frequency required by the specific donor — WB ISR, USAID quarterly, AfDB, EU, bilateral.
Project document register, version control, transmittal tracking. ISO 9001-compliant document control from planning through to handover archive.
Lessons learned workshop, final cost report, handover document package compilation. Client satisfaction survey. Project record archived and accessible.
