In Asia and the Pacific, social protection is recognised as a critical tool for improving food security, addressing the root causes of malnutrition and protecting people from risks and shocks. Over the past decade, social protection systems in the region have been strengthened and expanded in the face of growing challenges such as economic and health crises, climate change and conflict, contributing to stability, resilience and socio-economic growth. One of the key tools enabling the effective delivery of social protection is its information systems. These serve as decision-making tools, store data and information on actual and/or potential beneficiaries, an enable the management, coordination and monitoring of programmes. In Asia and the Pacific the effectiveness and efficiency of social protection registries and related information systems vary according to their policy, systems, data and digital foundations, as well as their maturity, functionality and adaptability to meet different needs, leading to different outcomes across the region. To better support governments' social protection plans and reforms, WFP's Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific undertook a review of selected social protection information systems in the region to identify opportunities to strengthen, innovate and make them more inclusive. This briefing note summarises the main findings.
