UNOPS TRAINS NEWMAP-EIB FPMU & SPIUs AHEAD OF MAYAN WDAMS PLATFORM ROLLOUT
Abuja, Nigeria — 17 July 2026
The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) has just concluded a week-long training programme for the NEWMAP-EIB Federal Project Management Unit (FPMU), State Project Implementation Units (SPIUs), Super Users, and other stakeholders on the Mayan WDAMS platform—a digital document management and approval system developed to support project implementation.
The programme commenced on 13 July 2026 with inception meetings between the UNOPS team, the National Project Coordinator (NPC), and FPMU representatives at the FPMU Project Office, Abuja, where participants aligned on the objectives, implementation approach, and rollout plan for the platform.
From July 14 to 17, 2026, participants gathered at the UN House in Abuja for a series of hybrid training sessions that combined in-person and virtual participation. The practical sessions covered document upload, workflow management, approval processes, user roles, and system navigation through live demonstrations and hands-on simulation exercise, allowingd participants to experience the platform from different user perspectives.
Speaking during one of the training sessions at the UN House, Donato Serena, UNOPS Senior Project Manager, explained that the Mayan WDAMS platform is designed to simplify documentation and approval processes across the SPIUs, FPMU, UNOPS, and EIB. He noted that the platform will enable users to upload project documents, monitor approval status in real time, and maintain a centralized repository for easy access to project records.
The training concluded on 17 July 2026 with a feedback and troubleshooting session involving FPMU staff, SPIU Coordinators, and Super Users. This session provided an opportunity to address technical issues, gather user feedback, and identify areas for further refinement before the platform's official rollout.
Overall, the training enhanced participants' understanding of the Mayan WDAMS platform and reinforced the commitment of the FPMU and UNOPS to promoting efficient, transparent, and technology-enabled project management processes across the project.
