On-demand and up-to-date? Dynamic inclusion and data updating for social assistance

Overview:

This report focuses on how social assistance systems can keep beneficiary and household data up to date. It focuses on contexts where poverty, vulnerability, and life circumstances change over time. The report compares approaches for dynamic inclusion and data updating, including permanent local offices, digital windows, active outreach, and integration with existing administrative databases. The contents are particularly useful for practitioners working on social registries, on-demand registration, continuous data updating, eligibility management, grievance redress, and inclusive digital social assistance delivery.
