Primary Functions
The primary function of the openIMIS Stakeholder Committee is to provide advice to support the overall outcomes of the openIMIS Initiative. The Stakeholder Committee is expected to provide guidance on the initiative in growing the community of practice, building a robust yet flexible product and increasing implementations of the tool for managing various types of social protection schemes.
The Stakeholder Committee works in conjunction with the Product Committee and Technical Advisory Group, which have separate activities and functions within the openIMIS Initiative. The components of the openIMIS Initiative are defined and further described in the attached document “openIMIS Governance Structure”.
Members of the Sakeholder Stakeholder Committee ensure that the Initiative’s overall vision reflects in its activities, and the direction of the initiative remains efficient and effective. In practice, these responsibilities are carried out by performing the following functions:
a. Discuss and contribute to the development of the technical roadmap of openIMIS, following recommendations made by the Product Group and Technical Advisory Group;
b. Support Initiative workflows and actively contribute in the frame of the Governance structure;
c. Assist partners and members of the Initiative through coordination and collaboration;
d. Advise on the scope and direction of the Initiative as emerging issues force changes to be considered, ensuring alignment with the agreed vision of the Initiative and key stakeholder groups;
e. Foster positive communication within and outside of the Stakeholder Committee regarding the Initiative and its outcomes;
f. Engage in political advocacy for the Initiative, e.g. by promoting openIMIS in relevant events.
g. Support the outreach of the openIMIS Initiative to foster new relationships/partnerships with other donors or relevant stakeholders.
h. Regularly participate in, and contribute to relevant discussions, forums, proposals and activities of the Initiative;
i. Regularly participate in the openIMIS Steering Group Meeting
