Self-Performance Evaluation

Employee self-evaluation is critical for various reasons. It nurtures self-awareness,

instigates accountability, underscore the areas that need improvement, and highlights

accomplishments, motivating employees to set goals and strive to better their future

performances (Vuong & Nguyen, 2022). My significant contributions programme

management, finance and budget, and administrative and human resource support impresses

me as I reflect on my performance in the past review period. I performance was anchored on

integrity, professionalism, respect for diversity, inclusion, humanity, and humility allowing

meet and surpass the success criteria, organisational expectations and standards of the

excellence. These principles enabled me to complete assigned tasks on time. This self-

performance evaluation highlights key accomplishments and competencies from my past

performance period to illustrate my value and contributions to my organisation as an

employee and team member.

Programme Management Support

One of the major contributions was supporting effective programme management,

particularly in budgeting for grants project and programme activities, and grants and Project

management activities. I released budgets in UMOJA within one week of receipt of funds

from donors, successfully rephased budgets for active and closing grants (99%), and adjusted

100% of budgets by the end of each quarter. For example, I successfully adjusted MetroHUB

WUF travel expenses from BMI IHA to RMBC Grant and rephased. The tasks met the

success criteria for budgeting for grants project and programme activities including releasing

budgets in UMOJA within one week of receipt of funds from donors, adjusting budgets by

the end of the quarter by 100% and rephrasing budgets by the end of the 1st quarter of the

year by 95%. These efforts ensured financial continuity, and precise allocating of resources

into the 2025 fiscal period.

Moreover, I reviewed Contribution Agreements, In-House Agreements and

Agreements of Corporation to ensure compliance and clarity of clauses taking note of key

areas, where I achieved a 95% success rates of timely signed compliant agreements. I also

created new grants such as the AMB Phase Three (M1-32FOD-000256), RMBC (S1-32FOD-

000236), and Bogota SDU (S1-32FOD-000271) and achieved a 99% accuracy and 80%

timely creation of new agreements of corporation in grantor module, including the UrbanPro

(1000025328) and Niger State Demonstration Project (1000019756), requested an extension

of existing contracts and 90% successfully supported the closure of grants in this duration.

These activities were in line with the 95% compliant timely signed agreements, 95% grants

created one week upon countersigning, Grantor Programs created one week upon countersign

success criteria, 95% of grants closed, 100% IPMR compliant projects at the end of every

quarter and 95% timely closure of agreements success criteria. Throughout these activities, I

was able to maintain high integrity standards and strictly adhere to UN finance and budgeting

guidelines allowing to balance between donor expectations and internal operations.

Finance and Budget Support

In the finance field, I was instrumental in ensuring a pivotal role in accounting for

cash advances and timely disbursement of funds to implementing partners (IPs), vendors and

consultants. For instance, I processed claims for CURLA-UON and NSWSC and managed

vendor payments for events like the Waste Pickers EGM and the section retreat. My financial

acumen was also demonstrated in the closure of open items, timely (100%) and accurately

(99%) updating Section Portfolio at branch and division level, closure of grants such as the

five IHA on KNUPP Phase Two, and timely and accurately analysed and provided

expenditure breakdown for projects on request. Furthermore, I created timely and precise

fund commitments and purchase orders for grants-related activities, such as the procurement

of goods and recruitment of UN Volunteers. The PO and LVAs created during this period
 4

were paid and I was able to follow up the transactions from end-to-end to ensure completion.

This consistent delivery showcased my competencies concerning diligence, accountability

and responsiveness which a crucial for the organisation’s financial health and operational

transparency (Efunniyi et al., 2024).

Administrative and Human Resource Support

Concerning administration, I proactively drafted and disseminated memo to various

internal communication including OIC, focal points, travel exceptional approval requests,

archived final project reports, letters and important communication on platforms such as

IPMR and Teams, and liaised with MACS for various clearances. I sucessfuly managed

Section inventory in liaison with MACS and Property Management Unit (PMU), where I

completed 2024 annual physical asset verification, assigning of furniture, cubicle and ICTS

hardware to new recruits. Besides, I supported procurement activities by creating Low Value

Acquisitions and coordinating with UNON Procurement to process shopping carts. This

included successfully purchasing laptops and managing inventory records with 100%

accuracy.

In the human resource field, I ensured 99% timely travel request submissions and

ticket processing for meetings such as WUF 12 and the Waste Pickers EGM. I consistently

adhered to the 21-day rule and submitted expense reports within the required timeframe. I

also Supported with creation, check for wording and alignment of TOR for new recruits and

continuing personnel to ensure alignment with the project documents, conducted interviews,

archived reports, and monitored outputs to ensure deliverables matched expectations.

Furthermore, I supported the extension of contracts for several UNVs and consultants

including Rafael, Norah, and Maria, and facilitated onboarding for new personnel like Yue

Chen and Haesung Ahn. These efforts reflected my commitment to humility, humanity,

inclusion, and respect for diversity as my approach to team development.

Reflection on My Growth Areas

While I successfully many aspects of the success criteria, I must improve efficiency in

in areas the fell below my expectations (100% success rate). For example, I achieved 80%

timely creation of new agreements of corporation in grantor module contrasted to the 95%

AoC creation success criterion. These results highlight the need to refine my time

management strategies. Moving forward, I will leverage technology and seek feedback to

sharpen my time management skills.

Conclusion

Overall, I demonstrated a consistent performance, professional integrity, and a

collaborative spirit in my performance review period. My contributions in programme and

finance management and administrative support spearheaded the project and helped maintain

operational excellence. My focus remains in upholding high integrity standards, diversity,

inclusion and continuous improvement.
