The National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF) has implemented several digitized Information Management Systems to expand and improve services. These systems manage various national cash transfer programmes, such as the Cash Transfer for Pregnant Women and Children under two, the Cash Transfer for IDpoor households and vulnerable during COVID-19, cash transfer for At-risk households affected by floods and global inflation, and the TVET Cash Transfer programmes. These digital systems aim to establish a standardized approach for using mobile applications and web-based cash transfer delivery systems. Building on the experiences and lessons learned from these digital systems, the integrated Mobile Application and MIS for the implementation of the integrated cash transfer programme, “the Family Package”, has been fully developed, tested, and has operationalized the implementation of the Family Package, scheduled to roll out in April 2024.

In order to expedite the successful execution and potential enhancements of these programmes, as well as to ensure the interoperability of data systems with other social protection programmes, monitoring and evaluation systems, TVET, disability management information systems (DMIS), and other related platforms, a National IT Specialist is required. This IT specialist will assist the National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF) with the development and modification of mobile applications for Social Assistance. These apps include the Family Package and TVET applications, modules for monitoring, risk and vulnerability assessment, and feedback mechanism, with a primary focus on interoperability of data systems among platforms.
