Overview This release includes new features, bug fixes, and usability improvements across multiple eTools modules. Updates focus on PMP/ePD workflow and data quality enhancements, Field Monitoring usability improvements, Financial Assurance fixes, Action Points new capabilities, PRP stability and reporting accuracy, and infrastructure improvements.
Partnership Management Portal (PMP / ePD)
Notification to Overall Reviewer for Non-PRC reviews #265559 The PRC Secretary can now send a notification to the designated Overall Reviewer when a PD is submitted for Non-PRC review, closing a communication gap that previously required manual external communication.
Updated risk categories and definitions in ePD Strategy section #265556 Risk types and definitions in the ePD Strategy section have been updated to align with the latest UNICEF guidance. New risk types are available for newly created and amended PDs, while existing signed/active PDs retain their historical categories for data integrity. A help icon linking to the official guidance document has been added next to the risk category field.
Partner risk ratings resolved by ID instead of name #313308 Fixed an issue where HACT and PSEA risk ratings shown in PD/GPD metadata could be incorrectly attributed to the wrong partner when multiple partners share the same name. The lookup now uses the unique partner ID, ensuring ratings in PD metadata always match the Partner Overview.
MENARO workspace set to read-only #270373 All eTools modules in the MENARO workspace have been configured to read-only mode for all user roles except system administrators, safeguarding data from accidental changes now that a dedicated workspace is in use for RO activities.
Hard validation for reporting requirements before PD start date #299587 (INC0607969) A hard validation rule now blocks a PD from progressing to Signed status if any reporting requirement date falls before the PD start date. Previously only a soft warning was shown, which users could bypass, leading to data inconsistencies and blocked amendment workflows requiring manual intervention.
"INVALID" column removed from PD PDF export #309720 (INC0624138) Fixed an issue where PD PDF exports displayed a spurious "INVALID" column in the Signatures and Dates section, regardless of PD status. Exported PDFs are now clean and suitable for official use and signature.
Field Monitoring Module (FMM)
Bulk export of FMM PDF reports #313378 (INC0629268) Users can now bulk export multiple Field Monitoring reports as a ZIP file containing individual PDFs - up to 100 reports supported. The previous CSV export excluded qualitative content such as questions, answers, and narrative fields, requiring manual one-by-one PDF downloads. Next release will see an extension of number of reports supported for bulk exports.
"Visit Goal" filter added #309234 (INC0622291) Users can now filter Field Monitoring visits by the "Visit Goal" field, enabling quicker segmentation and analysis of visits by objective, particularly useful for offices managing large volumes of visit data.
Dashboard cleanup: remove legacy tabs and rename #305859 The "Trips" dashboard and "FM Management" tab have been removed from the dashboard view. The "FM Programme" tab has been renamed to "Field Monitoring" for clarity. The FM Management dashboard has been archived rather than deleted.
Action Points (APD)
Document attachments in the Action Point module #269478 (INC0548032) Users can now upload and view supporting documents directly within Action Points. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, JPEG, PNG, and ZIP, with a limit of 30 files per action point and a 10 MB per file cap. Attachments are visible to all users with access to the action point and are not carried over when duplicating an AP.
Financial Assurance Module (FAM)
Incorrect total value calculation for mixed-currency FACE forms #308074 (INC0621918) Fixed an incorrect total value calculation that occurred when FACE forms in both USD and local currency were selected together in a single commitment.
Fix for "Amount Audited" discrepancy after FAM enhancement #315477 (INC0634718) The "Amount Audited" field was renamed to "Amount Tested" and a tooltip was added to provide context to the user due to confusion on its meaning.
Follow-up section not saving in FAM commitments #308324 (INC0621417) Fixed an issue preventing users from saving follow-up financial information in certain FAM commitments.
FACE forms incorrectly marked as audited #317125 (INC0637480) Fixed an issue where FACE forms were being incorrectly flagged as "Audited" without a valid linked assurance engagement. Affected records have been corrected retroactively. A flag has also been added to FACE forms that have been Audited, indicating the engagement they were included in.
Partner Reporting Portal (PRP)
Edit options disabled on view-only reports #265572 Fixed an issue where edit controls were incorrectly displayed and accessible on reports that should be view-only in PRP, preventing unintended modifications to locked reports.
Infrastructure
Generic alerting system for failing sync integrations #314851 Implemented a backend monitoring job that runs periodically to detect unhealthy sync patterns across all eTools integrations.
Error logging server upgrade #301910 Upgraded the Sentry SDK to version 2.x and the Sentry server to version 20.x across PRP and eTools, ensuring continued error monitoring compatibility and access to the latest stability and security improvements.
Security dependency update #313390 Updated the cryptography library to address a high-severity security vulnerability (CVE-2026-26007)
