Talking Interoperability #18

This session will be in English with simultaneous interpretation to Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Talking interoperability is a dialogue series being convened by the Digital Convergence Initiative (DCI) to facilitate in-depth technical conversations around designing for interoperability in the social protection sector. By bringing together digital social protection and technology experts from government agencies, software vendors, system integrators and international organizations, it aims promote peer-based learning and problem solving through:

• sharing the technical nitty-gritty of how agencies have designed their social protection information systems for interoperability.
• understanding how agencies have tackled the major challenges to interoperability.
• brainstorming potential solutions to remaining bottlenecks

As Rwanda advances its digital transformation efforts, interoperability has become a key enabler for delivering efficient and inclusive social protection services. This session will focus on Rwanda’s Social Registry, a foundational tool designed to enhance data-driven decision-making and improve service coordination across government institutions.

The presentation will highlight the Social Registry’s role in streamlining beneficiary identification, reducing duplication, and ensuring targeted support for vulnerable populations. It will also explore interoperability challenges and solutions, including data governance, system integration, and collaboration across sectors.

Additionally, the session will provide insights into ongoing and future initiatives aimed at strengthening interoperability, aligning with Rwanda’s NST2 priorities and broader digitalization strategies. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how Rwanda is leveraging digital tools to create a more responsive, efficient, and transparent social protection system.

Join us to learn how interoperability is driving meaningful social impact in Rwanda!
