Talking Interoperability #11 – Jordan
The 11th “Talking Interoperability” dialogue series introduced Jordan National Unified Registry (NUR) Platform to attendees. The National Unified Registry (NUR) in Jordan started as a System Integrator that aims to establish a back-end solution to connect multiple government databases using the National ID which is widely used in Jordan. The first phase of the system was concluded in 2019 by connecting more than 30 databases including (Civil Status and Passport Department, Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Social Development, Social Security Corporation, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Department of Land & Survey, Drivers & Vehicles Licensing Department, and others). The data is used to enhance the targeting of the Cash Transfer Program as well as to verify the information of other assistance programs such as the Bread Subsidy Cash compensation using administrative sources that were connected to the platform.
The Second Phase of the NUR started in 2022 with the objective of establishing a unified intake channel for the NUR to serve as a unified registration form (front-end) for Social Protection Programs in Jordan. The front-end will build on the success of the Registration Platform of the Cash Transfer Program which is currently being integrated with the back-end. The end goal of the NUR system is to become the single gateway for people in Jordan who are seeking social assistance.
