AI Enabled Project Governance

Using Technology to Strengthen Transparency, Monitoring and Accountability

Strengthening Infrastructure Project Oversight

SAIDCH aims to introduce an AI-enabled project governance framework to support transparency, accountability and improved oversight in infrastructure project development and implementation.

The proposed framework will help participating institutions monitor project performance, identify risks and improve access to relevant project information.

Key Focus Areas

1. Project Monitoring
Monitoring project progress, milestones and implementation performance.

2. Budget and Expenditure Tracking
Supporting visibility into project budgets and expenditure.

3. Procurement and Contract Monitoring
Monitoring procurement activities and contract changes.

4. Risk Identification
Supporting the identification of project risks and potential exceptions.

5. Reporting and Accountability
Supporting structured reporting, verification and audit trails.

6. Government Capacity Building
Supporting officials in understanding and using technology for project oversight.
