This paper makes several contributions.
First, it presents a ‘guidance note’ on the framework for
Social Registries, anchoring the definition of these systems
in their functions along the Delivery Chain and their social
policy role as inclusion systems, while clarifying
terminology in a manner that is consistent with IT standards
in the discussion of their architecture as information
systems. Second, it illustrates the diverse typologies and
trajectories of country experiences with Social Registries
with respect to their (a) institutional arrangements
(central and local); (b) use as inclusion systems (coverage,
single or multi-program use, static or dynamic intake and
registration); and (c) structure as information systems
(structure of data management; degree and us of
interoperability with other systems). These patterns
primarily derive from a review of Social Registries in a
sample of 20 countries), (Azerbaijan, Brazil, Chile, China,
Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Djibouti, Georgia,
Indonesia, Macedonia, Mali, Mauritius, Mexico, Montenegro,
Pakistan, the Philippines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Turkey,
and Yemen). The paper also draws on experience in other
countries (Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, Egypt, Jordan, Vietnam,
India, Estonia, Belgium, the US, Canada, Australia, and
others) to illustrate specific points. Third, this paper
develops a basic ‘Assessment Tool’ covering the core
building blocks of Social Registries using a ‘checklist’
style of questions. Given the wide diversity of Social
Registries in both their role in social policy and in their
architecture, the approach is not prescriptive: it does not
advocate for any specific model or blueprint for Social
Registries. Any diagnostics or recommendations that emerge
from use of this Guidance Note and Assessment Tool will be
country specific. Some key take-away messages include: (a)
the importance of recognizing both the role of the ‘front
lines’ for outreach, intake and registration (Social
Registries as inclusion systems) and the ‘back office’
functions of Social Registries as information systems; (b)
the potential power of Social Registries as integrated and
dynamic gateways for inclusion; (c) the recognition that
Social Registries are generally part of end-to-end systems
for specific programs, integrated social protection
information systems, and/or even ‘whole-of-government’
approaches; and (d) there is significant diversity in the
typology and trajectories of Social Registries across
countries and over time. |
