Online Approvals

Country Clearance Approvals

USAID mission counterparts are often included as AID-Project users. In those cases, the software can be used to submit and approve country clearances online.

Using AID-Project for country clearances allows project staff to create country clearance requests — and to store resulting country clearance approvals — right in the online workplan.

• Country clearances are created in conjunction with travel line items entered into the workplan budget.
• Country clearance approvers are notified via email when a country clearance is submitted for approval, and again when the clearance is actually approved.
• A record of the country clearance approval remains in the system.
• The country clearance emails are customizable by the user, and can contain any text required by the USAID mission.

Document Approvals

Document approvals work much like country clearance approvals:

• Approvers are added to an Associated Document added to a Project Action, and the document is submitted for approval.
• All approvers are emailed, both when the document is submitted for approval, and again when the all approvers have approved the document.
• Any type of document can be submitted for approval: procurement requests, salary approvals, deliverables, etc. And the document types are also customizable.
