| Summary: | This paper reports on a rapid assessment
of Malawi’s integrated social registry, known as the Unified
Beneficiary Registry (UBR). The timing of the assessment was
ripe given the upcoming round of continued expansion of the
UBR and a planned shift in registration targets (from 50
percent to 100 percent of households). As such, the
objectives of this assessment are to: (a) review the UBR
experience to date; (b) identify strengths and areas for
improvement; (c) provide short-term recommendations to
support the upcoming expansion, including implementation
adaptations that would be needed to accommodate the revised
registration targets; and (d) support the longer-term
strengthening of the UBR. While primary audience for this
paper includes the core stakeholders in Malawi, the report
is also of potential interest to other countries interested
in developing social registries and/or carrying out social
registry assessments. |
