Example 4: Conditional Child Benefit Cash Transfer Scheme

This process workflow provides an example for generic use case PRS.SR.01 (SP-MIS queries the Social Registry to Verify Eligibility for Scheme Enrolment). The example used is for a scheme that provides conditional cash transfers to households that have young children.

In this example enrolment in the scheme is initiated proactively by SP-MIS on a periodic basis. The process workflow describes interoperability between SP-MIS for the scheme and the Social Registry to provide a list of households that meet the eligibility criteria.

Further verification is also provided by interoperability with the Health Management Information System (HMIS) and Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS). This is outside the scope of this use case but is described in the process steps to give a complete picture.

SP-MIS uses the API to search the Social Registry for households that meet the scheme’s eligibility criteria. In this example these include households below a specific poverty score and with children that are below the age of three.

The Social Registry returns a batch of children from households that match these criteria. This includes the UIN for each child, their parent’s UIN and the household identifier.

SP-MIS may now use the child UIN to query the HMIS to verify conditionalities related to post-natal check-ups and vaccinations. The HMIS confirms if these conditionalities have been met.

This provides the information needed by SP-MIS to determine which households are eligible for support from this scheme. Further steps may now be taken to notify the head of household and initiate the enrolment process.

Process Purpose	Provide a cash transfer benefit to families with young children.
Actors and Entities	Mother, SP-MIS, CRVS system, social registry and payments system.
Assumptions	For the applicant’s authentication, the Foundational ID System will be used and for the applicant’s eligibility check, the CRVS system will be used. In case the Foundational ID system is not implemented, the ID in the process flows refers to the ID issued by the CRVS system or any other ID seeded in CRVS. Trust is established between the SP-MIS organization and CRVS Organization to share the data specific to the need.
Prerequisites	The beneficiary has a registered Foundational ID in CRVS, and the beneficiary's vital events are registered in CRVS. Mothers are enrolled in the social registry and the health information system Beneficiary provides consent to the SP system for different registration-required procedures.
Process Inputs	SP-MIS initiates the process by querying the social registry to find eligible mothers.
Process Flow Steps	Step 1: The Social Registry subscribe to CRVS for notification of birth and death event. The CRVS system sends notification to social registry in cases where there is a birth or death happens. The CRVS sends details of the individual. Step 2: SP-MIS requests that it is notified in cases where there is a household with a new child aged 3 or less that is below a specific poverty score. SR confirms the request. Step 3: CRVS notifies SR of a birth event. CRVS sends SR details of new individual and their associated household. Step 4: SR notifies SP-MIS of matching household,SR sends SP-MIS details of new household with child under age of 3 with poverty score below specified threshold. Step 5: SP-MIS queries HMIS to request health events for mother and child. The HMIS responds with post natal checkup and vaccination event details Step 6: SP-MIS queries payment system to verify bank account status for head of household. Payment system confirms bank account status Step 7: Based on the eligibility check the beneficiary is enrolled in the child benefit cash transfer program and confirmation is sent to the beneficiary.
Outputs	Using the interoperability with the CRVS System, social registry and health information system, SP-MIS can request beneficiary information that is exchanged at the trust level, and upon getting the information, SP-MIS can immediately decide whether or not to register the beneficiary. In the integrated environment registering the beneficiary and providing them with confirmation may take anywhere between five and seven minutes. Consequently, individuals are not required to carry a variety of documents; with only their Foundational ID, their data can be checked with CRVS, and they can be registered for the social protection programme.
Control Points	SP-MIS is ultimately responsible for registering or not registering a beneficiary depending on the data received from the other systems.
