“…pathways behind program impacts, as noted in the previous paragraph). Such operational reviews, covering the foundational elements of and links in the entire program delivery chain (Leite et al 2017;Lindert et al 2020), are also useful independent of impact evaluations, because they can help to identify shortcomings in program design parameters and design-implementation gaps.…”

“…For instance, China's Dibao Registry, which provides a subsistence payment, has been used for employment assistance. The Philippines' Listahanan has been used for employment, training, and sustainable livelihoods programs (Leite et al 2017). The information in social registries could even be used to supplement data in the Human Capital Index in order to help target human capital interventions with greater nuance at the subnational level.…”

“…Source: Authors based on Leite et al (2017); Tohari, Parsons, and Rammohan (2019) Training seems to be an important complement to cash transfers in explaining the success of graduation programs. While more evidence is needed on which individual intervention or combination of interventions is responsible for the positive impacts of the graduation programs, the existing research suggests that the combination of training and cash is key.…”

“…Accordingly, integrated beneficiary registries are appropriate in situations where the key objective of integration is to improve coordination and oversight. Social registries, on the other hand, are "information systems that support outreach, intake, registration and determination of potential eligibility for one or more social programmes" (Leite et al 2017). They host data for all potential recipients of assistance, whether or not they are considered eligible for those assistance programmes.…”

Quality data and information are fundamental for effective implementation of cash transfer programmes in emergency contexts. Establishing a robust information system can facilitate the equitable and responsive distribution of humanitarian cash-based assistance, while enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of its delivery. This study presents findings on how various humanitarian agencies are collecting and using registration and identification data in cash transfer programmes in Somalia and identifies opportunities, risks and barriers to establishing an effective integrated data system. The study is based on a systematic review of published and grey literature, as well as on key informant interviews with representatives of humanitarian agencies, donors and government officials in Somalia. The study finds that the collection of registration and identification data is largely based on individual agencies' policies, guidelines and standard operating procedures, resulting in multiple noninteroperable data systems. Progress is being made to harmonise/integrate data systems, including using harmonised registration forms, a common database and data sharing agreements in various consortia; bilateral agreements to share registration platforms; and initiatives by donors and the government to enhance interoperability. Despite this progress, the harmonisation of data systems is still constrained by a number of technical, political, financial and organisational factors, as well as legal, fiduciary, reputational and data protection risks. The study concludes that harmonising data systems presents both long-term opportunities and short-term risks for developing a robust integrated data system for providing cash-based assistance in humanitarian contexts and supporting implementation of social protection programmes.
