The FLAT aims at centralizing, integrating and harmonizing the information coming from Finance, Logistics, Administration and Programme for each project (including the Implementing Partner information).

It is crucial internally in terms of knowledge management for each project as this is the main source of information available for each stakeholder of a project.
