Background
The Government of Myanmar has approved in December 2014 a National Social Protection Strategic Plan (NSPSP) for the country. This comprehensive and innovative strategy takes a universal approach to social protection and introduces 8 key flagship programmes. These flagship programmes are the Maternal and Child Cash Transfers (MCCT) to pregnant women and their children aged 0-2 (MCCT), children aged 3-15, persons with disabilities and the elderly above the age of 65; school feeding programme; public employment and vocational training programmes; and older persons- self-help groups. The NSPSP also stipulates the development of a government-led and integrated social protection system.
The Department of Social Welfare (DSW)/MSWRR is leading the coordination of the social protection agenda in Myanmar as the Chair of the Social Protection Sub-Sector Coordination Group. DSW is also in charge of the implementation of the 3-ongoing Flagship Programmes: the MCCT, social pension and Integrated Social Protection Services (Case Management). Over the past 2-3 years, MSWRR has received government and external financial support for the implementation of these programmes - such as the MCCT in Chin, Rakhine States and Naga Self-Administered Zone; and more recently in Kayah and Kayin; social pension for 85+ nationwide and ISPS in 47 townships. DSW plans to launch two more programmes, the Child Allowance in 2018-19 and the Disability Grant in 2021-22. DSW has also undertook the role of lead coordinator for the implementation of a National School Feeding programme. The implementation and expansion of the key flagship programmes has required the set-up of government-led system-based Management Information System (MIS) as part of the broader Social Protection Monitoring and Evaluation framework.
In line with the vision and principles of NSPSP and the Costed Sector Plan, DSW/MSWRR has formed an MIS Taskforce comprising of social protection related Development Partners (UNICEF, UNOPS, WFP, WB, ILO, HelpAge) to provide technical and financial assistance in development of the robust and modern Information System for key NSPSP programmes managed by DSW/MSWRR. The main role of the MIS taskforce is to organize and support consultation process, provide technical inputs and any related support (where relevant/possible) to consultants/entities supporting robust and modern Management Information System (MIS) for key NSPSP programmes led by DSW/MSWRR.
