Example 1 : Conditional Child Benefit Cash Transfer Scheme

This process workflow provides an example of a generic use case PRS.SR.03: Social registry updates attributes for a batch of beneficiaries in SP-MIS. The example used is for a scheme that provides conditional child cash transfers.

In this example the address and contact details for a beneficiary enrolled in the scheme has changed. The new details have been updated in the social registry. One of the beneficiaries whose details has changed is enrolled in the conditional child benefit cash transfer scheme. As such, the social registry must now update the SP-MIS for this scheme to notify it that the address and contact details for a beneficiary has changed.

The process workflow describes interoperability between the social registry and the SP-MIS for the scheme to update the SP-MIS with the new information.

The SP-MIS has previously posted a subscribe request to the social registry using the subscribe request API. This allows the SP-MIS to provide the UIN of beneficiaries that it has enrolled and for which it requests updates as their data changes. The subscribe request may specify which attributes should change to trigger an update.

When the relevant attributes change, the social registry uses the notify API to alert the SP-MIS which beneficiaries have new data. The API includes in the payload the person data object with the updated attributes.

The SP-MIS confirms receipt of the updated data and updates it’s records.

Process Flow: Conditional Child Benefit Cash Transfer Scheme

Sections	Description
Process Purpose	The purpose of this process is for a conditional child benefit cash transfer scheme to receive updates from the social registry when information on a beneficiary has changed.
Actors and Entities	SP-MIS, social registry
Assumptions	The system assumes that all eligible children are registered in the social registry. The system assumes that the social registry is reliable and secure and that any issues or challenges can be promptly addressed to avoid any disruption in the delivery of benefits. The system assumes that all relevant regulations and policies are followed in the delivery of benefits to eligible children and that any changes or updates to these regulations are promptly incorporated into the system.
Prerequisites	The system has adequate technological infrastructure, including hardware, software, and networking capabilities, to support the social registry and the automatic delivery of benefits. The system requires the engagement and support of relevant stakeholders, including beneficiaries, government agencies, financial institutions, and civil society organisations, to ensure the effective and sustainable implementation of the scheme.
Process Inputs	The SP-MIS makes a subscribe request to the social registry for beneficiaries for whom it wishes to receive updated data, specifying which attributes must change to trigger an update.
Process Flow Steps	Step 1: The SP-MIS posts a batch subscribe request to the social registry. This specifies the UIN for beneficiaries for whom it is subscribing and the attributes in the person data object that it is subscribing to. This includes the address and contact information. The social registry confirms receipt of the subscribe request. The social registry updates the address and contact information for a household based on their request. Step 2: The social registry posts a notify request to the SP-MIS alerting it that the information on a subscription that has changed. It includes the UIN and updated address and contact information.
Outputs	Using its interoperability, the social registry can provide updated beneficiary information to the SP-MIS at the trust level. In the integrated environment, updating the household data on the SP-MIS may take anywhere between five and seven minutes. Consequently, individuals or households are only required to update their information with the social registry. Their updated information can then be provided to other schemes via interoperability.
Control Points	The SP-MIS is ultimately responsible for determining if the information provided by the social registry is used to update its records.
