Slango

SLANGO (Sierra Leone Association of Non-Governmental Organisations) is the national umbrella body representing and supporting non-governmental organizations across Sierra Leone. Established to strengthen collaboration within the civil society sector, SLANGO provides advocacy, capacity building, research, consulting, mediation, and policy support to its members. By fostering partnerships, promoting accountability, and amplifying the collective voice of NGOs, SLANGO plays a vital role in advancing sustainable development and improving the social, economic, and environmental well-being of communities throughout Sierra Leone.

SLANGO required a modern, secure, and centralized online registration portal to replace manual NGO registration processes. The organization needed a platform where NGOs could register online, submit applications and supporting documents, make payments, track application status, and communicate with reviewers. Administrators also required a comprehensive backend to manage applications, approvals, payment verification, reporting, and master data while maintaining a complete audit trail.

Developed a complete registration management system using **Odoo 19 Community Edition** featuring a self-service applicant portal and an administrative backend. The solution digitized the entire registration lifecycle, including user registration, online application submission, document management, multi-level approval workflow, payment verification, reporting, automated notifications, and role-based access control.
