Household Module

This module allows browsing and managing beneficiaries from the household perspective. It provides a 360-view of beneficiaries, their households, and member data. Just like the Beneficiary module, it gives us a single point to view household-related data from other modules. If the Grievance module is enabled you can view recorded grievances for beneficiaries. There’s also an integration with the Payments, Data Update, Training, and Savings Group Modules. Aggregated at a household level.

It also has sub-modules to provide contextualized views on Active, Potential, Suspended, and Graduated households. It has an elastic search functionality and advanced filters are available to filter and download subsets of beneficiary data.
