The availability of reliable, accessible and robust household data is of crucial importance for the successful implementation of the Gambia Government’s social protection programmes. Subsequently, through The Gambia Social Safety Net Project, we aim to develop a modular, centralized and functionally-scalable web based Social Registry Information System (SRIS) to collect, query, process, update and store key characteristic household data. The SRIS will have an important role for programme administration, grievance management, monitoring and evaluation activities and provide evidence to inform policy. The SRIS is envisaged to provide mechanisms for the NSPS to broaden their coverage for support to the most vulnerable; and contribute towards the Government’s vision and efforts towards developing a modern and comprehensive social protection system.
