FOR CITIZENS
What is GPRIS?
GPRIS stands for the Government Project Reporting Information System.
What is the primary purpose of GPRIS?
GPRIS is a centralized digital platform designed to enhance transparency and accountability in public spending. It allows the Citizen and other stakeholders to track the implementation status, budget absorption, and physical progress of government-funded projects.
Which entities report through GPRIS for reporting?
All National Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), as well as Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs) overseeing public investment projects, are required to update their project data on this system.
How does GPRIS help the average citizen?
By providing a "single source of truth" for project data, GPRIS ensures that public funds are being used effectively. It reduces the risk of "ghost projects" and allows for better oversight of infrastructure developments across the country.
Who can access the GPRIS dashboard?
Access levels are role-based.
- i. MDAs/SAGAs Project officers can input data, while senior management and have "View and Approve" rights.
- ii. Public-facing dashboards is available for general public.
- iii. Executive dashboard is available to top level officers from the MDAs and SAGAs.
FOR MDAs and SAGAs
I am a government project officer; how do I get an account?
You must be nominated by your Accounting Officer. Once authorized, the System Administrator at the National Treasury will create your credentials linked to your official government email.
How often should project status updates be uploaded?
Project managers are typically required to provide monthly updates on financial expenditure and quarterly updates on physical progress, or as directed by the National Treasury's reporting cycle.
What kind of data is required for a project entry?
Key data points include the project title, GPS coordinates (location), contract sum, cumulative expenditure, percentage of physical completion, and photographs of the current site status.
What should I do if my project location isn't showing correctly on the map?
Ensure that the coordinates entered are in the correct Decimal Degrees format. If the error persists, use the "System Support" ticket feature to alert the GIS mapping team.
Who do I contact if I encounter a 'System Timeout' during data entry?
