HOPE is designed in accordance with IFRS.. It is user friendly and easy to navigate. HOPE generates reports in excel. This is very convenient as it simplifies analytical work and the preparation of reports for different donors. HOPE team is very supportive. All required assistance is provided in a timely and professional manner.

It helps in grants management for the whole cycle of the grant, from registering the application, evaluation, reporting and close out of the grant project. It gives opportunity to analyze the budgets of the grant projects, compare the approved amounts vs. reported, or modified if any. Hope gives opportunity to allocate several donor fundings for the project. In addition, the most important is that financial transactions are automatically done based on the grantee's expense reports. The steps of the grant management are delegated among different staff members (Financial manager, grants manager, accountant). Also, the databases can be download from the spreadsheet in excel format. The administrative staff is very helpful and always respond on time, solve if any issues rise and provide different options for solutions. Overall, it is software that helps on every step of grants cycle and makes monitoring process easier.

It is very similar to the software I used to work with before. So it was easy to me to get used to it.
