What is Social Protection?

Management Information System (MIS)

“Each social protection programme in a country entails broadly similar implementation phases along the delivery chain. The programme management information system (MIS) – and its associated database – can support the delivery of each of these phases (depending on whether the tailored software application has been designed to do so, e.g. via a tailored module). Countries offering a variety of programmes, catering to different needs and population groups, may have developed tailored MISs supporting similar functions for each separate programme”.
