Any tools for increasing manpower reinforcement rate?

Unfortunately there isn't an advisor that speeds up your nation's manpower recovery rate by default. The reinforcement advisor just speeds up the rate of filling your regiments from your existing pool. Your manpower recovery rate is sped up (outside of a nation's unique ideas or events) from:

Army Tradition
Quantity Ideas
Plutocratic Ideas
Trading in Cocoa
Constitutional Monarchy
Policies from Quantity/Admin & Quality/Exploration

The only other way to get 'more men per month' is by increasing your manpower limit. You recovery manpower by a percentage of your maximum...so a nation with 100k manpower will get more monthly than a nation with 50k manpower. This is equal to any nation fully recovering within 10 years base. You can help increase this limit by building military manpower buildings in accepted culture provinces.

Also, there is a 10% recovery for 6 years event that can happen with an event if you have a tier 3 Recruit Master Advisor. Outside of this, advisors wont assist in recovery.
Good luck have fun.

Bear in mind that most effects which increase manpower pool by a percentage only increase province manpower. You get a base pool of manpower just for existing which isn't ever modified. That means if you're a small country with low manpower to begin with, you won't notice the full effect of increasing manpower using ideas.

On the plus side, the manpower added by military buildings counts.

Also, raising military tech also increases overall manpower, meaning that all nations get more and more manpower as the campaign goes on (and wars tend to get bigger and bigger).

Try to build March unique bulding, which gives +1000 base bonus to manpower, which quite boosts montly recovery and max manpower for small nation :) (It increases max mapower with significant ammout, so recovery is somewhat quicker too)
