20 Apr 2022

ESP commissioned Development Pathways in January 2017 to assess the status of the existing social protection management information systems in the country with the aim of setting a foundation for the design and development of the single registry for social protection. [...] The design phase of the NSR, undertaken between November 2017 and March 2018, focused on detailed analysis and design of the existing social protection management information systems in Uganda, and development of the detailed requirements and design specifications for the NSR. [...] The implementation phase was executed between March and December 2020 and included development of the documentation, provision of training and deployment of the NSR software components at the data centre, and linkages of the NSR with the priority programme management information systems and the NIRA ID verification service. [...] 15 1.6 What are the institutional arrangements that support the NSR? The Directorate of Social Protection at the MoGLSD has the overall strategic direction for social protection support and coordination across the country. [...] • Existence of a social protection policy framework: The design of the NSR in Uganda was underpinned by social protection policies, strategies and a scoping study which defined the broad parameters for the setup of the system including the guidelines for interoperability.
