Institutional Delivery

A clearer operating model for MDA performance.

The value is not more forms. It is a shared structure for translating priorities into ownership, tracking progress and making assessment more transparent.

Strategic alignment

Connect public service priorities to departments, units, and officer commitments.

Clear ownership

Show who is responsible for each objective, measure, target, and review action.

Better visibility

Give leadership a current view of progress, completion, exceptions, and results.

More objective appraisal

Anchor assessment in agreed KRAs, KPIs, timelines, comments, and scores.

Institutional Control

Access and records follow the organization structure.

Alignis uses authenticated workspaces, tenant-scoped data access and role-aware product surfaces. This section avoids certification claims and describes what the application currently supports.

Role-aware access

Users see only the records and actions appropriate to their authenticated workspace access.

Organizational scope

Records are queried within the active tenant workspace and linked to the relevant organization.

Controlled records

Contracts, plans, reviews, appraisals, PIPs, disputes, and downloads follow authenticated routes.

Auditability

Workflow history and audit records support visibility into actions taken on performance records.
