1. OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION

1.1. OVERVIEW
1. As one of the areas of focus for the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP-II) is
addressing the gap on urban infrastructure, the government of Ethiopia is desirous to
focus on improving the urban sanitation situation in cities and improve operational
efficiency on water supply. On this account, the Government of Ethiopia obtained
financing from the World Bank for a project that has three key components: i) Addis
Ababa Sanitation and Water Supply Services Improvement, (ii) Secondary 221 Cities
and Towns Sanitation and Water Supply Services Improvement, and (iii) Project
management and institutional strengthening. The total budget for the project is US
$445 Million and is to be completed in six years. A project appraisal document
(PAD) has been prepared by the World Bank in March 2017. This project
Implementation Manual (PIM) is prepared by the Ministry of Water Irrigation and
Electricity (MoWIE) to clearly articulate all the implementation aspects of the
project in compliance with the PAD.
2. Integrated Urban Sanitation and Hygiene Strategy (IUSHS) drafted in October, 2015
details the different components of sanitation and provides strategic direction in
terms of integration of urban sanitation intervention, service delivery requirements
and management technology, capacity building, cross cutting issues, financing and
tariff setting principles, institution arrangement and roles. The document
recommends sanitation interventions including capacity building plan to be
city/town specific taking into consideration an integrated sanitation planning and
implementation. It also stresses that successful implementation of the integrated
urban sanitation and hygiene is dependent on the effectiveness of the institutions
created to manage urban sanitation in different towns. Following IUSHS
development, different sector ministries undertaking urban sanitation have signed a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) in April 2017 to ensure commitment and
facilitate implementation of IUSHS.
3. Ministry of Water, Irrigation, and Electricity prepared Urban Wastewater
Management Strategy, in January 2016 with the aim of establishing a sustainable
wastewater management system providing guidance and strategic direction for the
present and immediate future. It reviews existing policies and strategies in terms of

Hawassa and Bahir). The 2ndgroup is regional capitals for the smaller (Harari, Jijiga, Gambella, Asosa, and Semera
Logiya). The 3rdcluster are secondary towns 1 from each of the big regions Jimma, Gonder, Sodo, and Adigrat. The
4thcluster is owns with populations between 100,000 and 200,000 and includes Bishoftu, Dessie, Shashamene,
Nekemete, Assella, Arbaminch, Debrebirehan, and Degeh Bur

sanitation. The document assumes Water sector offices at different level and
municipalities to be responsible for the planning, implementation, and operation of
wastewater management systems while other sectors like health and environment
play the role of promotion, decision making, monitoring and evaluation. The
document, like other reviewed documents recommends economically affordable,
environmentally suitable and socially acceptable technologies. While discussing the
implementation modality the document briefly points out on the need for
development of legislation, regulation, standard, guidelines and code of practice.

1.1.1. Second Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project


4. The Urban Water Supply and Sanitation project (UWSSP I) is an ongoing project
until December 31, 2017 financed by the World Bank (250 million USD) with the
aim of increasing access to sustainable water supply and sanitation services in Addis
Ababa and five secondary cities. This UWSSP II will be a continuation and
expansion of the World Bank long term engagement in the sector and support to an
effort of GoE to improve sanitation services in the urban areas.
5. The objective of the project is to increase access to enhanced water supply and
sanitation services in an operationally efficient manner in Addis Ababa and selected
secondary cities. The project aims to cover twenty-three cities including Addis
Ababa. The GoE selected the participating towns giving priority to regional capitals,
large population size towns, nevertheless maintaining regional equity. A total of 3.38
million people (50 percent of them women) residing in Addis Ababa and the selected
22 towns will directly benefit from the project, of which 2.76 million from improved
sanitation facilities and 623,000 from access to improved water supply services.
6. The project is designed to contribute to the GoE effort to eliminate open defecation,
increase percentage of population using a ‘safely managed’ sanitation service, and
enhance existing water supply services through improved operational efficiency and
expansion of WS service to unserved areas. On this account, the project finances the
following components in Addis Ababa and selected secondary 22 cities and towns.

1.1.2. Project Components


7. The project is designed in such a manner that it goes beyond providing sanitation
facilities but sanitation services where issues of operation and maintenance are
considered as central to the sanitation provision. The project comprises three
components, which are summarized in the following paragraphs.
8. Component 1: Addis Ababa sanitation and water supply services improvements
(US$260 million). This comprises three subcomponents: (a) sanitation services
improvement, (b) operational efficiency improvements, and (c) project management
and institutional strengthening.

UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL
9. Subcomponent 1.1: Sanitation services improvement in Addis Ababa (U$224.6
million).This subcomponent will entail the following: (a) sanitation assessments,
feasibility studies, and the design and construction of a WWTP for eastern
catchment, through a design, build and operate (DBO) approach,2 (b) sewerage
networks for the eastern catchment; (c) improvement of operation and maintenance
(O&M) management of existing WWTPs; (d) Improvement of sanitation services in
unserved and LIAs, including construction of communal and public latrines; and (e)
procurement of appropriate desludging equipment for fecal sludge treatment plants.
10. Subcomponent 1.2: Operational efficiency improvements in Addis Ababa
(US$33.1 million).This subcomponent will support AAWSA to improve WSS
services levels by modernizing the operational and management system, including:
(a) NRW reduction and management; (b) customer care; (c) financial management
(FM); (d) network management; and (e) improving sewer connections and fleet
management systems. The project will also support management contracts to fill
O&M capacity gaps and establish effective management systems, including
performance-based contracts for small-scale leak detection and repair. Critical areas
will include business plans and performance agreements to focus on: (a)
implementation of operational processes and performance improvements; (b) HR
Improvements and change management; (c) a comprehensive Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to secure supervisory control and data
acquisition, (d) ability to analyse real-time data; and (e) dedicated operator support
to assist AAWSA to translate high-level plans to action.
11. Subcomponent 1.3: Project management and institutional strengthening in
Addis Ababa (US$2.3 million).AAWSA’s existing project management capacity
will be supplemented through additional staff before the start of the project and
during implementation to enhance the capacity of the management board and utility
staff to manage WSS facilities effectively. This assistance will cover the cost of
training on project implementation and utility operations, regional, international, and
in-country exposure visits and learning exchanges, procuring office equipment and
vehicles, and miscellaneous expenses.
12. Component 2: Sanitation and water supply services improvement in secondary cities
(US$241 million). This will involve three subcomponents.
13. Subcomponent 2.1: Sanitation services improvement in secondary cities
(US$196 million).This subcomponent will finance studies and design, technical

2DBO procurement streamlines the design-build (DB) delivery approach of a single private contractor designing,
constructing and operating a new facility or a capital improvement, focused on up-front cost-savings, not long-term
efficiencies. The advantages of this approach are lower capital and maintenance costs, use of robust technology and
equipment, appropriated risk, shorter delivery schedules, and a single contract. DBO risks include weak supervision
and too much upfront pricing, with long-term operational requirements left vague.

assistance (TA) and infrastructure development. This support will improve fecal
sludge management facilities and conventional sewer systems where feasible,
support the Urban Health Extension Program, construct communal and public
latrines, procure desludging equipment, rehabilitate or construct wastewater and
fecal sludge treatment plants, and develop small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to
manage public latrines and similar facilities.
14. Subcomponent 2.2: Water supply and operational efficiency improvement in
secondary cities (US$36.8 million). This subcomponent will finance interventions
to help WSS agencies modernize service provision, and improve the management of
NRW. This will entail: (a) establishment of performance based systems to
incentivize the reduction of NRW; (b) water supply provision to unserved and LIAs;
(c) TA and studies for situation assessment and development of NRW reduction and
management interventions, development of billing and accounting systems,
customer care, FM improvement, network management, and improving the
provision of sanitation services; (d) capacity building and training on billing and
accounting and, improvement in the customer data base and citizen engagement,
gender, and management for water boards; (e) piloting of modern meter reading and
collection technology and other efficiency interventions for possible scale-up; and
(f) public awareness creation and communication strategy for demand management.
15. Subcomponent 2.3: Project management and institutional development in
secondary cities (US$8.2 million). This subcomponent will fund capacity
enhancement for water board members and utility staff to manage WSS facilities.
This will include staff training; exposure visits and study tours; provision of
equipment; and awareness creation for the management team, boards, utilities,
municipalities, and urban health extension workers. The project will also support the
establishment of utility performance monitoring and benchmarking, and the
preparation of business plans. Project management costs will include
communications, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), procurement, FM, safeguards,
and other functions. Institutional development will also cover: (a) establishment of
work systems and the development of guidelines and manuals; (b) procurement of
vehicles, relevant instruments and tools; and (c) staff training.
16. Component 3: Project management and institutional strengthening (Federal
and Regional level). (US$4 million). This subcomponent will help MoWIE manage
the project and strengthen its institutional capacity, and will include short term
training, study tours, and carefully planned acquisition of office equipment; and
vehicles. This component will also finance several studies to support improvements
in sector performance, such as options for private participation; data collection and
monitoring systems related to performance-based agreements, monitoring and
benchmarking; the establishment of independent bodies to regulate utility
performance; and emerging needs for applied research, technology choice, waste

reuse, and other topics.

1.1.3. Basic Implementation Principles


17. The basic principles for the implementation of the UWSSP II are in line with OWNP
principles. The guiding principles specifically for UWSSP II are:
18. Integrated city-wide approach to sanitation improvement with mix of service
options to accommodate diverse needs in different settlement types: This principle
aims to ensure a city-wide approach whereby all the residents of the town
irrespective of their cultural and socio-economic background and location are
addressed with an affordable and appropriate mixed technology options to address
their diverse need for proper sanitation service. Mixed options approach provides a
pragmatic instrument to pick interventions according to specific contexts and
capacities. Cities practically evolve with affordable and manageable sanitation
systems. A key consideration will be whether such options fit in with city-wide
integrated interventions that link sanitation with broader urban planning and
governance, finances and service delivery programs. A city-wide sanitation
improvement demands for integration of conventional and non-conventional means
used by different service providers to manage waste holistically. A holistic
approach demands strategic technical engagement to manage waste using the
different options and technologies used to start from the point of waste generation
up to its final disposal or reuse.
19. Stepped approach: stepped approach will give opportunity for towns to creating
enabling environment prior to pursuing infrastructure investment: This principle
will also create sense of competition amongst the implementing units to perform
timely while at the same time guaranteeing that the investment will bring the
intended outcome and impact.
20. Develop a suite of services in every city to collect, transport, treat and
dispose/reuse liquid wastes: This principle recognizes the need to provide fund for
the development of infrastructure for entire sanitation service chain: collection,
transport, treat and dispose/reuse. The public health risks associated with pathogenic
human waste can only be reduced when the entire waste service chain or safe waste
management system is developed. This principle will address the current incomplete
practice in the urban wastewater management.
21. Promotion of public awareness and enhanced social engagement: This principle
recognizes the need to create public awareness and knowledge amongst the society
about the health benefits from proper handling of wastes. The promotion is also to
cause the public to be engaged in the issues that concern their health, particularly by
willingly maintaining, improving, and sustaining their sanitation services and
conservational use of water. The public awareness will also enable the public to
better understand their role and responsibilities in the sanitation chain and make

5
UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL
informed decision about their sanitation technology choice.
22. Higher emphasis on improving efficiency of utilities: This principle emphasizes
that it is not enough to focus on the supply aspect of the infrastructure rather efficient
use of available resources and water supply and wastewater management systems at
the utility level is equally important to achieving the desired result. Most of the staffs
engaged in water utilities may have the skill from practice about the task they
perform but do not have proper training to understand the entire procedure. The
project thus provide fund for institutional development including business plan
development operating system improvement human resource development and
organizational structure review and adjustment. This principle provides incentives
to utilities through operational efficiency gains in line cost recovery policy.
23. Encourage and facilitate the involvement of the private sector: Engagement of the
private sector in the implementation of the project through provision of services,
supply of goods and construction of works is one of the means used to encourage
and facilitate involvement of the private sector. In addition, the project will introduce
private sector participation in provision of operation and maintenance services. A
fair competition amongst the private sectors through participation of those with the
appropriate qualification in open bidding is also another means of facilitation of
private sector involvement.

1.2. INTRODUCTION
24. Based on the Program objectives and targets, this manual is designed to allow the
establishment of a uniform system across the implementing agencies, to provide
Financial Management Guidelines and procedures that will specify how financial
transactions of the Project are recorded and reported by implementing agencies at
Federal, Regional, and Towns/Woreda levels, from the initial identification of
transactions to the final financial reporting. It discusses the detailed procedures in
receiving fund, keeping the fund, spending it, recording the expenditures, reporting
to the appropriate body and in safeguarding the assets acquired.
25. The Manual has the following general objectives:
✓ Outlining the various processes and procedures to be followed by all staff involved
in the FM of the Program.
✓ Providing instructions to ensure that resources to be used are incorporated in the
budget and adequate internal controls are in place to safeguard the use of funds
during implementation.
✓ Aligning the program FM to financiers’ guidelines.
✓ Outlining responsibilities among the key players of the various operational aspects
of the FM system.
✓ Serving as a reference document for all parties involved in the implementation of the
Program.

UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

26. The FGE Accounting System’s policies and procedures are the basis of this
guideline. Codes are similar unless new account titles are required as a result of the
unique system of the the project. Requirements of financer were reflected. This will
assist smooth and consistent application of different Programmes, consolidation
process, and wise utilization of already built up learning curves of the Government’s
accounting staff.
27. The manual considers the capacity of the accounting staff and offices of the
implementing institutions at all level. It also provides guidelines for proper
documentation and system of internal control that would assure sufficient audit for
future reference of any interested organ. It incorporates valuable ideas and comments
gathered from preceding Programmes’ governmental implementation agencies,
financers of the Programmes and remarks of finance officers. It also provides
directives for proper documentation and system of internal control that would assure
sufficient audit trail for future reference, to any interested organ.
28. The content of the manual has been divided into five logical parts and include
introduction and overview, Institutional Arrangement, Financial Management, ,
Administration and Annexes sections.

UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

2. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGMENT
29. Urban sanitation has no institutional home of its own but again different institutions
are mandated to undertake certain responsibilities to address sanitation issues.
Number of studies, assessments, and progress have been made in the past recent
years including the development of integrated urban sanitation and hygiene strategy
(IUSHS) and signing of an MoU of sector Ministries of their commitment to
implement IUSHS. Nevertheless, no one Ministry or office has been designated to
take lead in urban sanitation at federal level. Though Ministry of Water, Irrigation
and Electricity has been mandated to oversee water and sewerage utilities yet in most
cities/towns municipalities are more active in liquid waste management than the
water and sewerage utilities. While defining the structure, roles and responsibilities
of institutions for the implementation of UWSSP 2 at all level, this institutional
arrangement assumes the Steering Committee for the existing OWNP will also
oversee UWSSP 2 and water and sewerage utilities will take full responsibilities for
LWMs. In towns where municipalities now manage LWMs, this role and technical
staffs with capacity will be transferred to WSS utilities.
30. As to the governance and policy guidance of the program, Existing institutions that
are providing overall governance and provision of national guidance for water supply
and urban sanitation and IUSHS will continue to do the same. In this sections the
role of these institutions in regard to UWSSP 2 are listed below. However, there is
still a need for establishing common governance framework whereby roles are
clarified, collaborations strengthened and organizational system and capacity are
built at federal, regional and local levels.

2.1. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION


ARRANGMENTS

3. Financial Management
3.1. Introduction
58. This section of the Financial Management Manual is designed to provide financial
guidelines and procedure specifying how the projects and programs planning and
budgeting are processed, disbursements are effected, financial transactions are
recorded and reported by implementing agencies at federal, regional, Woreda and
city levels. It discusses the procedures for receiving funds from WB, the required
books to be kept, keeping the funds, spending them, recording the expenditures,
reporting to the appropriate entities.
59. To meet these requirements, the system will have the following features:
▪ Budgeting: A system to identify the short-term activities necessary to achieve
the Program objectives and express these activities in financial terms.
▪ Accounting: A system to trackrecord, analyses and summarize financial
transactions.
▪ Funds flow arrangements: Appropriate arrangements to receive funds from all
sources and disburse the funds to the agencies involved in Program
implementation.
▪ Internal control: Arrangements, including internal audit, to provide reasonable
assurance that (a) operations are being conducted effectively and efficiently and
in accordance with relevant financing agreements; (b) financial and operational
reporting are reliable; (c) applicable laws and regulations are being complied
with; and (d) assets and records are safeguarded.
▪ Reporting: A system that would produce sufficient detailed information to
manage the Program, and provide GCF with regular consolidated interim
financial reports and annual consolidated financial statements.
▪ External audit: Arrangements for conducting annual external audit of the
consolidated financial statements for the sector on terms of reference acceptable
to GCF.

3.2. Budgeting

3.2.1. Budget Preparation


61. Budget allocation for regional level components and Secondary cities during the Step
I: Preparation phase will be seen on individual cases and depends on extent of
consultancy and capacity building work needed for each regional WBs and cities.
Likewise, budget allocation for WSS system and institutional development costs
during Step 2: implementation phase for cities will be based on need and will be
determined after the study and design based on individual cities technical and
financial viability of the proposed UWSS system. UWSSP II budget preparation will
follow the government budget preparation schedule. The budget approval process
for UWSSP II budget will also follow existing government regulations and
procedures. MoWIE will prepare an indicative budget allocation for the RWBs and
for AAWSA, and for each implementing secondary cities by component and submit
the same for review by Ministry of Finance and Economic Cooperation (MoFEC)
and approval by the Council of Ministers.
62. Generally, approved project proposals will form the basis for budget preparation.
Budgets will be prepared within the time frame for preparation of budget according
to the Ethiopian Budget system. Each implementing institutions is responsible for
the preparation of its annual work plan and the budget for its own expenditure for
the different activities that it plans to undertake during the financial year. Early
preparation of budget is crucial to secure World Banks’s “no objection” prior to
having the budget proclaimed in accordance GoE’s budget protocol and calendar.
Budgeting for project activities at different levels will be carried out as follows:
63. At MoWIE Level:
✓ MoWIE budget preparation forms its basis on the indicative funding for the
project management and institutional strengthening component. At MoWIE
level, MoWIE is responsible for the:
✓ Preparation of its annual budget for its own expenditure in accordance to its
annual plan and the financing requirements for each activity;
✓ Reviewing and approving annual consolidated budgets submitted to it by
AAWSA, WRDF, RWBs, and utilities of secondary cities;
✓ Consolidating annual approved plans and budget of each implementing
institutions including its own and submission of the same for “no objection” to
the World Bank; and
✓ Upon securing “no objection” from the World Bank, submitting again the
consolidated budget to NUWSSSC for endorsement, MoFEC for approval and
GoE’s proclamation in compliance and within the time frame of the Ethiopian

20
UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL
Budget system.
64. At RWBs Level:
✓ RWBs budget preparation also form its bases on the indicative fund allocation
announced to it by MoWIE for the project management and institutional
strengthening component. Each RWBs is responsible for the:
✓ Preparation of its annual budget for its own expenditure in accordance to its
annual plan and the financing requirements for each activity;
✓ Providing technical assistance, reviewing and approving annual plans and
budgets prepared by the secondary cities in their region; and
✓ Consolidating the annual approved plans and budget of the secondary cities and
its own for endorsement to RUWSSSC, and for review and approval to MoWIE.
65. At AAWSA Level:
✓ AAWSA budget preparation also form its bases on the indicative fund allocated
for the different project components. AAWSA is responsible for the:
✓ Preparation of its annual budget for its own expenditure in accordance to its
project proposal and its annual plan and the financing requirements for each
activity for all the three components;
✓ Obtaining city council approval for its annual budget; and
✓ Sending its annual plan and budget approved by the council for its endorsement
by the CUWSSSC for endorsement, for review and approval to MoWIE and
WRDF.
66. At Secondary Cities Level:
✓ Each utility’s budget preparation form its bases on the indicative fund allocated
for the different project components. The utility in close consultation with its
water board, concerned planning committee formed at city level is responsible
for:
✓ Preparation of the annual planned activities including the financing requirements
and annual budget;
✓ Obtaining city UWSSSC and council approval for its annual plan and budget;
and
✓ Sending its annual plan and budget for reviewing, approval and consolidation to
its respective RWB and WRDF.

21
UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

3.2.2. Budget Control


67. Implementing entities receiving financial resources through the 2nd UWSS are
responsible for budget discipline and control to ensure that project activities are
properly budgeted, expended and reported. Budget control is exercised to ensure
that UWSS funds are that funds are used for the intended purpose and are being spent
as planned with respect to categories, cost, timeliness and value for money. Primary
responsibility for budget control is the PMU accountants at different level. The
finance unit in each of the implementing agencies receiving funds for program
implementation will be responsible for the preparation of monthly budgetary control
statements comparing actual with budgeted results and ensuring that explanations
are obtained from the responsible officer on the variances. Heads of the respective
agencies are responsible for examining the control statements and providing
appropriate remedial action to ensure effective budget control.
68. The budget control also helps to ensure that: expenditure is committed or incurred
only if there is an available budget; actual expenditure does not exceed budgeted
expenditure, ensuring availability of budget before processing payment and tracking
if any, variances between actual and planned cost and activities. The main tool
would be budget tracking preferably integrated into the accounting system.

3.2.3. Budget Revision


69. Revision to an agreed and approved plan and budget should not be easily allowed.
Neither will inter- component budget transfer be permitted in the program (unless
the project is formally restructured by the GoE with the agreement of the World
Bank). However; there could be good causes to consider changes and budget
transfers among activities in each component.
70. When such a change is considered essential, the revision of work plan and budget
together with procurement and training need to be recommended by the City UWSS
Steering Committee to the regional technical and steering committees or to MoWIE
in case of AWSSA.
71. Once changes are approved by the Regional technical and steering committees, the
consolidated regional revised budget work, budget, procurement and training plans
are submitted to the federal level technical and steering committees
72. Approved revisions of work, budget, procurement and training plans are
consolidated by MoWIE and submitted to the World Bank for its approval. Budget
transfer application for approval is accepted only if the proposal is submitted within
the first two quarters of a fiscal year.
73. The plan & Budget including a consistent Procurement Plan should be cleared by the
Bank before commencement of any disbursement.

22
UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL
3.3. Accounting
74. Accounting is the system used to track, record, analyses and summarize financial
transactions. The accounts shall be prepared according to generally accepted
accounting principles. The accounting system for each implementing entities will
be a double entry bookkeeping system and modified cash bases of accounting in
compliance with the GoE accounting policies and procedures. Most of the
implementing entities have a financial management (FM) manual of their own,
except Gambella and Semera utilities. However, the financial management for this
2nd UWSS project will be in accordance to the requirements depicted in this financial
management arrangements chapter of the PIM.

3.3.1. Accounting Centers


75. The first task in developing the accounting system is defining the accounting centers.
For the 2nd UWSS project the main accounting centers are:
✓ MoWIE
✓ All participating RWBs (9)
✓ AAWSA
✓ Utilities in the Secondary cities (22)
76. Centers should ensure that they have an adequate accounting system which will
record all financial transactions completely and accurately. These transactions must
be processed on a timely basis. A system of internal control is an essential component
of any accounting system to ensure accurate recording of financial transaction.

3.3.2. Methods of Accounting


77. Each accounting centers adopt Double Entry System of book keeping on modified
cash basis using the FGE standard accounting records, as described in the FGE
Accounting System Manual III, Volume I (Accounting for Modified Cash Basis
Transactions).
✓ All payments will be charged off from the relevant project activity account
head (chart of accounts) at the time of making the payments.
✓ Advance payments will be charged off from the relevant project activity
account head on adjustment
✓ Materials purchased for project activities will be charged off from the
relevant project expenditure head at the time of purchase itself.
✓ Release of funds to other implementing entities will be accounted for as
advance in the books of account and treated as expenditure only upon
submission of expenditure information.
✓ Release of funds to suppliers will be accounted for as advance in the books
of account and treated as expenditure only upon submission of expenditure
information.
23
UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

3.3.3. Transaction sources


✓ The second UWSSP follows FGE accounting and financial management
cycle and passes the following process:
✓ Budgeting expenditure
✓ Preparation and coding of source documents or vouchers then
✓ journalizing entries to the transaction register,
✓ posting to control and subsidiary ledgers and finally
✓ Preparation of financial statements and other reports.
78. Therefore, the bookkeeping cycle for Second UWSSP starts when money is received
in the project designated accounts of implementing agencies and ends when report
of expenditures is presented to the MoWIE and MoWIE is closing the accounts.
79. Summarized below are the specific source documents and books of the account
together with the required financial reports, as per the FGE manual.
80. Transaction and source documents:
✓ Cash Receipt Voucher(CRV)
✓ Bank payment voucher (BPV)
✓ Petty Cash Payment voucher (CPV)
✓ Journal voucher
✓ Debit notes
✓ Credit notes
✓ Purchase Documents Payroll

24
UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

3.3.4. Transactions, Source Documents and books


81. Source documents are prepared to capture transactions as and when it occurs.
Transaction Register / Book of Original
82. The Transaction Register is maintained to ensure that all transactions are recorded
in the accounting system and serves as a basis to post entries into the Ledgers. Journal
entries are coded on each source documents. Each of the transactions and its
reference are first recorded in the Transaction Register from the respective source
documents.
83. All transactions of the Second UWSSP concluded by the implementing agency shall
be recorded in the register from the source documents. There are three major types
of transactions to be recorded in the Transaction Register
84. Transaction Register / Book of Original Entry

Source documents Types of transaction Specifics

CRV Cash receipts Involves Collection of cash


Receipt of check through

Cash or Bank Payment Cash Payment Involves Cash payment in


Voucher check Transfer by Bank

Journal Voucher None cash transactions, Transactions not involving


transfers & Aid in kind Cash receipts and payment
vouchers
85. Each implementing agency shall maintain the standard transactions register. The
register should be prepared in duplicate.
86. At Federal level, MoWIE shall also maintain transaction registers in addition to the
standard register to deal with the special/designated bank accounts. One transaction
register per special account shall be maintained. These transaction registers will be
different from the local currency register in that they have additional column to fill
in the foreign currency information.
General Ledger
87. General ledger is a group of accounts that is used as a second step in the process of
recording and summarizing transactions. The primary book of record is the
transaction register and the general ledger is the second register. It is between the
register and the financial reports and as such prepares information that goes into the
reports. The ledger card shall be used without any modification in the form. The
Second UWSSP General Ledger will be organized in sequence of the account codes

25
UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL
similar to the Government accountas will be detailed in financial procedures that will
be prepared later:
88. The balances of the General ledger would be the basis for financial reporting as
proved by periodic trail balance.
89. Subsidiary Ledger Control account balances may need detail in some cases.
Subsidiary ledgers shall be maintained to provide that additional detail information.
Accounts that needs subsidiary ledger are the expenditure, receivable, inter
implementing agencies accounts and payable

3.3.5. Charts of Accounts


90. The Federal Government of Ethiopia (FGE) Chart of account as described in the
FGE Accounting System Manual III, Volume II (Chart of Accounts) will be in use
for the project without making no changes to the existing account codes of FGE chart
of accounts but with development of new sub accounts codes and titles where
necessary to capture properly the project components sub components and categories
of the project expenditure.This will again be also detailed in the financial procedures
that will be prepared later.

3.3.6. Accounting System


91. Computerization facilitates timely and reliable financial reporting. Each
implementing entities are expected to use software packages for its project
accounting. However, uniformity of the accounting system including having
enough fields; character position and design for the generation of report on project
category, major component, sub components and chart of accounts should be
considered. The software thus need to accommodate the chart of accounts. The
capacity of the supplier of the software to provide technical support for the product
must be ensured in advance. The installed software must provide the timely and
reliable information needed for project decision taking and reporting.

3.3.7. Double Dipping.


92. Due to extension of the closing date of the ongoing UWSSP-1 up to December 31,
2017, it is likely that the two projects for five of the utilities will run in parallel for
at least four months. The risk of double dipping in these five utilities of UWSSP-1
with UWSSP II over overlapping period is low. This is because the overlapping
period is short and that different/distinct activities are being financed by the two
operations. But to avoid this risk of duplication of activities, adequate monitoring
systems should be instituted at these utilities, RWBs and MoWIE level.

26
UWSSP II – FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MANUAL
3.4. Financial Management Reporting

3.4.1. Reporting procedures:

93. Financial reports generated from the above accounting system will be comparable to
fund allocations for the different components; yearly budgets, forecasting and
utilization of funds relating to physical and institutional development as targeted
under the Project.
94. Consistency in internal reporting and reporting regimes should be streamlined in
content as well as utility. Project reporting is to be done on quarterly -Interim
Financial Reports (IFRs), half yearly and annual basis by each of the implementing
entities.
95. Reports at least include: Statement of sources and uses of funds; the current quarter's
project expenditures including comparison with budgets for the quarter and
cumulatively by disbursement categories, components and subcomponents;
statement of balances for the quarter and cumulatively; statement of forecasted
expenditures by disbursement category for the two quarters after the latest IFR
received; etc.
96. MoWIE will submit consolidated IFR to IDA within 45 days after the end of the
quarter. The format and contents to be agreed with MoWIE would be in consistent
with the World Bank’s standard. MoWIE is expected to produce its own IFR and
consolidate all other IFRs received from RWBs and AAWSA. Likewise, RWBs are
expected to produce their own and consolidate IFRs from their respective utilities in
secondary cities by the 30 days after the end of the quarter; while IFRs from AWSSA
and utilities in the secondary cities are expected to submit within 20 days to MoWIE,
WRDF and RWBs respectively.

separate bank account for the project in a commercial Bank for the project funds.
IDA fund will be deposited in a designated US Dollar account to be opened and
managed by MoWIE at the National Bank of Ethiopia. Funds from this designated
US $ account of MoWIE will be transferred to Birr account opened by MoWIE for
Birr payments and expenses of the project. MoWIE then transfers Birr to accounts
opened by each RWBs, AAWSA and utilities in the secondary cities. The fund flow
for each implementing entity will be in accordance to its approved annual work plan
and budget.
119. The project will start with an initial amount being deposited to the MoWIE
designated dollar account (DA) as an advance. MoWIE will again open a Birr
account to receive funds from IDA. Each of the other implementing entities namely
RWBs, AAWSA and Utilities in the secondary cities will also open a Birr account
to receive funds from IDA through MoWIE. Advance to MoWIE, RWBs, AAWSA
and Utilities in the secondary cities will be based on approved work plan and the
amount will be transferred to the bank accounts opened at each level.

121. Each implementing agency shall ensure that adequate internal controls are put in
place and that the controls are adhered strictly. At present, most of the utilities
internal audit units are largely ineffective. Until the capacity of internal audits of
implementing agencies is built and strengthened to provide the required adequate
internal controls, one internal auditor at MoWIE will be recruited in the meantime
by the project to support the project audit and close the gap in the internal audit
function. Among others, the internal control system should ensure that all
transactions are recorded, the recorded transactions have substance, they are
recorded at correct amounts in the correct period in the correct accounts and that they
are posted and summarized correctly. Both the cash and check payment transactions

events, pre-numbering (sequentially) of originating documents (such as goods’
received notes, cash receipts and invoices, and accounting for these; independent
