The latest release of openIMIS demonstrates its evolution into a versatile digital public good, supporting activities across the entire social protection delivery chain, including beneficiary registration, enrollment, benefit management, and payments. This progress reflects strategic collaboration with the World Bank's CORE-MIS platform, resulting in integrated functionalities for managing cash transfers and public works programs. With a modular, interoperable design, openIMIS can adapt to diverse program needs and contribute to Digital Public Infrastructure, including the development of a comprehensive social registry.
Over the last months the initiative started to gather requirements for social registry and integrated beneficiary solutions by interviewing key experts and implementers in the sector e.g. from WB, ILO, WFP and UNICEF. Following an input on the first findings of the requirements gathering, a panel discussion provides the chance to learn about requirements from representatives from WHO, WB and ILO – from the perspective of health and social protection. What are the potentials for a DPG solution to address such core requirements?
