Multi-Channel Registration System (SR-040, Core)

Essential function to implement a system that supports registration and data updates through multiple channels including online portals, mobile apps, USSD, and in-person at service centers

Online registration, mobile app registration, USSD registration, in-person registration, multi-channel data updates

Data Collection and Intake Capability Area, User Interface Capability Area, Interoperability and Integration Capability Area

Multi-channel registration is essential for ensuring broad and equitable access to the SR, reaching diverse population segments and overcoming barriers related to connectivity, literacy, and mobility. Without this capability, the SR would be inherently less inclusive and less representative of the target population.

• User-friendly interfaces optimized for each channel

• Consistent data validation and quality checks across channels

• Secure authentication and data transmission for all channels

• Offline capabilities for mobile and in-person channels

• Centralized data management and synchronization across channels

Bulk Data Uploader (SR-020, Core):

Essential function that must allow for bulk data upload through Excel or CSV files for existing datasets

Bulk data import, CSV upload, Excel upload, data validation during upload, secure file transfer

Data Collection and Intake Capability Area, Data Management Capability Area, Security and Privacy Capability Area

Bulk data upload is essential for efficiently populating the SR with existing datasets from previous registries, surveys, or program records. Without this capability, the initial data population process would be prohibitively time-consuming and resource-intensive, hindering rapid SR deployment and utilization.

• Robust data validation rules and error handling during upload

• Secure file transfer protocols to protect data confidentiality

• Data mapping and transformation tools for different file formats

• User-friendly interface for initiating and monitoring bulk uploads

Disability Status Tracker (SR-005, Core)

The system must be able to capture, manage, update, and track changes to disability status information for registrants. This is essential for identifying individuals eligible for disability-related programs and services.

• Capture disability status

• Update status as needed

• Track changes over time

• Data Collection and Intake

• Data Management

• Eligibility and Targeting

Maintaining accurate and up-to-date disability information is essential for targeting disability-related social protection programs and ensuring inclusivity.

• Structured data entry fields

• Ability to modify disability status fields

• Relational database for efficient data management

Form Customization Tool (SR-035, Optional)

Function that needs to implement a robust form customization tool that allows administrators to quickly create, modify and manage data collection forms without extensive development cycles

Drag-and-drop form builder, customizable field types, conditional logic implementation, template management, real-time form preview

Data Collection and Intake Capability Area, User Interface Capability Area

Basic SR implementations can often utilize pre-defined standard forms. As program needs evolve and data requirements become more nuanced, a form customization tool becomes increasingly valuable for adapting data collection instruments rapidly and efficiently without requiring code changes.

• Data collection forms need frequent updates or modifications

• Different programs or regions require customized forms

• Agile adaptation of data collection instruments is a priority

• Non-technical administrators need to manage form design

Multilingual Form Generator (SR-042, Optional)

Function that ideally should support the creation and management of registration forms in multiple languages

Multilingual form creation, language pack management, automated translation support, user language preference settings

Data Collection and Intake Capability Area, User Interface Capability Area

For linguistically homogenous populations, multilingual forms may not be immediately necessary. However, in diverse or multilingual contexts, this function becomes increasingly critical for ensuring inclusivity and data accuracy by allowing data collection in users' preferred languages.

• The target population speaks multiple languages

• Inclusivity for linguistic minorities is a priority

• Data collection needs to be conducted in diverse linguistic contexts

• Multilingual user support is a broader system requirement

Offline Data Collection (SR-044, Optional)

Function to provide capability for offline data collection in areas with limited connectivity, with automatic synchronization when connection is restored

Offline data entry, local data storage, automatic data synchronization, conflict resolution for offline updates

Data Collection and Intake Capability Area, Interoperability and Integration Capability Area

In areas with good connectivity, fully online data collection may suffice initially. However, in contexts with unreliable or limited internet access, offline data collection becomes essential for ensuring comprehensive registration coverage, particularly in remote or underserved areas.

• Significant portions of the target population live in areas with poor internet connectivity

• Field-based data collection is a primary registration modality

• Ensuring registration in remote areas is a priority

• Data loss due to connectivity issues needs to be minimized

Document Scanner (SR-034, Optional)

Function that ideally should support the capture and storage of scanned documents as part of the registration process

Document scanning interface, image capture and upload, document storage, integration with verification workflows

Data Collection and Intake Capability Area, Data Management Capability Area

Basic registration can rely on manual data entry without document imaging. However, as verification requirements become more stringent and the need for digital document management grows, a document scanning function becomes increasingly valuable for streamlining registration and supporting verification processes.

• Documentary evidence is required for registration or verification

• Digital storage of documents is preferred over paper-based records

• Verification processes benefit from access to scanned documents

• Reduced paperwork and administrative efficiency are prioritized

Identity Data Collector (SR-037, Optional)

Function that SR's data collection forms and processes ideally should be aligned with the identity data requirements of the national ID system

National ID data field integration, data collection form alignment, identity data validation at intake, support for national ID verification processes

Data Collection and Intake Capability Area, Data Management Capability Area, Interoperability and Integration Capability Area

If a robust national ID system is not yet fully established or utilized, SR registration can initially proceed with basic identity data collection. However, as national ID systems strengthen and become more central to government services, alignment of SR data collection with national ID standards becomes increasingly important for interoperability and data consistency.

• A national ID system is in place or being developed

• Interoperability with national ID databases is a priority

• Alignment with government-wide identity data standards is required

• National ID verification is integrated into social protection processes

Inclusive Registration Tool (SR-038, Optional)

Function that SR needs to provide an Inclusive Registration Tool with interfaces for external outreach systems to facilitate registration of informal sector workers and hard-to-reach populations

Outreach-focused registration interfaces, simplified data entry, support for diverse data collection methods, integration with outreach management systems

Data Collection and Intake Capability Area, User Interface Capability Area, Interoperability and Integration Capability Area

While inclusivity is a core principle for all SRs, basic registration approaches may not initially incorporate specialized tools for hard-to-reach populations. As SRs mature and aim for universal coverage, targeted inclusive registration tools become increasingly valuable for ensuring that no one is left behind.

• Reaching informal sector workers and marginalized populations is a priority

• Specialized outreach programs are in place

• Simplified registration processes are needed for vulnerable groups

• Integration with outreach management systems is desired
