Post-Conflict Social Registry Design and Beneficiary Targeting in Amman

Programme Overview

Establishing credible social protection systems in post-conflict environments requires reliable infrastructure to identify, register, and verify vulnerable populations.⁣​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌⁣ This five-day executive programme in Amman addresses the operational and technological hurdles of deploying dynamic social registries when civil records are degraded, institutions are fragmented, and displacement is widespread. Participants examine how to build foundational data systems that serve multiple social assistance programmes while maintaining stringent data security, transparency, and institutional independence.

The curriculum focuses on practical mechanisms for intake, registration, and assessment, examining both community-based targeting and proxy means testing models suited to complex transitions. Delegates analyse technical workflows for integrating dislocated administrative datasets, cleaning fragmented records, and deploying biometric deduplication protocols. Emphasis is placed on cross-institutional data sharing arrangements, interoperability standards, and institutional frameworks that allow social registries to operate as dynamic gateways rather than static beneficiary catalogues.

Through structured peer exchange and practical labs, civil servants and project staff evaluate grievance redress mechanisms, data protection protocols, and secure verification routines. Drawing on international standards from the World Bank, UN agencies, and regional development banks, the course equips practitioners with concrete methods to transition from emergency relief transfers towards sustainable, objective beneficiary identification architectures capable of supporting national social protection reform.

Post-crisis transitions require objective, verifiable mechanisms to allocate scarce social assistance funds and reduce duplicate emergency payments across splintered administrative territories.⁣​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌⁣ In environments addressing structural transition, such as institutions associated with the Libya Transition Assistance SPF project, establishing unified beneficiary identification infrastructure is critical. Fragmented databases, unverified legacy lists, and rapid demographic changes undermine the legitimacy of public transfers. Technical teams must urgently acquire the operational capacity to deploy biometric standards, harmonize vulnerability assessment criteria, and establish transparent data registries that meet international donor accountability requirements.

Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Amman, Jordan, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.

The Growing Importance of Post-Conflict Social Registry Design and Beneficiary Targeting in Amman

Digital services, data and new technologies are changing how institutions work and how citizens are served. Done well, they make services faster, cheaper and more transparent; done badly, they waste money and expose data to risk.

Institutions need people who can plan digital change, manage data responsibly, protect systems and use evidence from data in decisions. These skills are now expected across all functions, not only in IT.

Organisations increasingly require professionals capable of:

• Plan digital initiatives that solve real problems
• Manage data quality, protection and sharing
• Analyse data and present it clearly
• Manage cyber and technology risks
• Lead people through digital change

Strong digital government, data and technology systems help organisations:

• Deliver faster and more accessible services
• Make better use of data in decisions
• Protect systems and personal data
• Get value from technology investments

This Post-Conflict Social Registry Design and Beneficiary Targeting in Amman programme brings these elements together in a practical format, so that participants understand not only what good practice looks like but also how to introduce it in their own setting, with the people and resources they have.

Programme Contents and Structure

Post-Conflict Social Registry Design and Beneficiary Targeting in Amman Training Methodology

The training is delivered in Amman through structured professional lectures, technical software demonstrations, and intensive small-group working sessions.⁣​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌⁣ Participants review practical case studies from post-conflict and fragile settings to dissect system architectures, examine sample data schemas, and evaluate targeting trade-offs. Daily practical exercises require delegates to apply biometric standards, assess deduplication outputs, and draft institutional data exchange protocols, ensuring that the theoretical frameworks directly translate into usable operational solutions for their respective institutions.

The programme combines:

• Expert-led sessions on current practice
• Regional and international case studies
• Group work and practical exercises
• Simulations and role plays where relevant
• Discussion of participants' own challenges
• Peer learning across institutions and countries
• Practical tools and templates to take back to work
• Daily reflection and action planning

Before the programme, a short pre-assessment helps the facilitators understand each participant’s role and priorities, so that examples and exercises can be adjusted to the group. Each day ends with a short reflection in which participants note what they will apply at work.
