Overview:

This learning brief explores the Social Information Registry (Ministry of Social Development and Family), which was launched in 2011 and since then it has evolved and expanded, currently containing 8.7 million households (approximately 98% of the population). The registry is instrumental to inform an ambitious social protection system that includes 114 programmes implemented by 10 ministries.

The Social Information Registry is an integrated social protection information system which consolidates data from several databases, including the Social Registry of Households (SRH) and the Integrated Beneficiary Registry, both owned by the Ministry of Social Development and Family, and databases from other entities like for example the National Disability Register, the Register of Vehicles, the Income Tax Payment Register, Civil Registration, among others.

The registry also includes information from the Social Emergency Information System, which is in charge of conducting rapid damage assessments during emergencies; this allows providing social protection and other relevant sectors with information to respond to shocks.
