Integrated beneficiary registry
About
DCI develops various technical standard for interoperability. Learn more about our work and the standards process here.
Integrated beneficiary registries are a tool to assist with planning, coordination, monitoring and reporting across the entire social protection system. The integrated beneficiary registry is both an analytical and operational tool. It aggregates and synthesizes data on beneficiaries across various social protection programs.
An integrated beneficiary registry has a number of objectives:
- Monitor and evaluate the coverage of social protection programmes
- Prevent and identify unintended duplications or overlaps in enrolment across programmes
- Facilitate coordination and harmonisation among different social protection programmes and stakeholders
- Enhance the precision and effectiveness of targeting, by reducing errors and fraud.
- Provide data that informs policy-making, program adjustments, and strategic planning.
- Enhance transparency and accountability in the management and allocation of social protection resources
The integrated beneficiary registry and social protection interoperability standards were endorsed by USP2030 and released on Gitbook.
Standards committee
The standards committee for the interoperability of integrated beneficiary registry and social protection information systems brought together experts from 21 different organizations including governments, international organizations, digital public infrastructure (DPI) initiatives, digital public goods (DPGs), solution providers and individual expert(s).
