Digital Convergence Initiative
An open, transparent, and virtual community working to build a global consensus around standards for social protection information systems.
What is the challenge at hand?
Despite widespread recognition of the benefits that digital solutions can unleash, countries are struggling to fully realise them.
Even though social protection programme follow a common set of processes, fragmented social protection information systems are unable to communicate with other systems. This lack of harmonisation and interoperability not only impacts on social protection outcomes, but also leads to wasted public expenditure.
