Using the Diia App to Establish Income for Means-Testing in Humanitarian Programming

In Ukraine, the Diia app is used by over 18.6 million users, providing access to digitised documents and social assistance programmes. Among other features, the app enables the generation of various certificates that provide official information about income and calculating social insurance contribution periods which could be used in humanitarian programming for better targeting or determination of transfer values for humanitarian cash transfers. The technical brief outlines how different certificates can be generated through Diia and presents a case study on how Diia is already used by Caritas Ukraine in their humanitarian cash transfer programmes to determine income levels.
