Activity Review & Approval

Bufdir reporting and internal financial flows depend on activity data being trustworthy. Without an explicit review step, errors and ambiguous registrations propagate into official reports, exposing the organization to compliance risk and rework. A structured approval workflow gives org admins a defensible audit trail showing that every reported activity was checked by an accountable person before it counted toward funding-relevant statistics. It also unlocks operational quality: admins can coach peer mentors based on rejection patterns, and coordinators get faster turnaround than today's Word/Excel-based back-and-forth, which all four pilot organizations describe as untenable.

Implement as an Admin Web Portal page backed by an Approval Service that transitions activities through pending → approved/rejected states with reason codes and admin attribution. The queue must paginate, filter by organization/coordinator/date, and respect tenant isolation strictly (Global Admins see nothing unless time-bounded support access is granted). Use the existing REST API on Vercel/Next.js with the shared relational database; every state change writes to the audit log. Surface integrates with Activity Flagging and Duplicate Activity Detection so flagged or duplicate items are visually distinguished in the same queue rather than living in parallel inboxes.
