Talking Interoperability #12 – Colombia
The 12th “Talking Interoperability” dialogue series introduced the social protection system of Colombia and highlighted the journey on setting up shock-responsive social protection systems, leveraging technology and interoperability to build systems which are dynamic, flexible, and trusted, such as the Households Social Registry (HSR).
The HSR exemplifies interoperability on the ground, combining data from 28 administrative databases from national level and 1.860 administrative databases from territorial level, summing up to information on 55 million people which translates into almost 100% coverage of the Colombian population.
