Summary

Session 1 of the conference focused on examples of current implementations of openIMIS solutions. Facilitated by Uwe Wahser, IT Specialist at the openIMIS Coordination Desk, GIZ, the session began with a short video showcasing different functionalities being used or which have been added to the software by teams in Nepal, Lao PDR, Cameroon, Nigeria, Burundi, and São Tomé and Príncipe. These functionalities are packaged in solutions for health insurance, voucher schemes, cash transfer, employment injury insurance, and beneficiary registries. Far from a complete or static list, this range of solutions can and should be added to and developed.

Md. Mahbubul Haque, Advisor-ICT and Digitalization, Social Protection for Workers in the Textile and Leather Sector for GIZ Bangladesh then provided an in-depth look at the example of the Employment Injury Insurance solution in Bangladesh, where openIMIS supports the Employment Injury Scheme Pilot.
