Improving MIDIS’s Information Services within the National Targeting System (SINAFO) at the National Level Project

The development objective of the Improving Ministry of Social Development and Inclusion (MIDIS’s) Information Services within the National Targeting System (SINAFO) at the National Level Project for Peru is to make MIDIS’s information services within Peru’s SINAFO more inclusive, dynamic, and interoperable for use by public institutions for their regular and emergency interventions. The project comprises of three components. The first component, enhancing the capacity to include poor and vulnerable households in the General Household Registry (PGH) addresses four underlying challenges in the implementation of PGH that have hindered it from becoming a reliable and sustainable targeting instrument. It consists of following sub-components: (i) enhancing the capacity of local registration units (ULEs) to implement the PGH; and (ii) improving the household experience with PGH. The second component, enhancing capacities for the management of SINAFO at the central level addresses three challenges present in the implementation of SINAFO. It consists of following sub-components: (i) enhancing capacities of General Directorate of Targeting and Social Information (DGFIS) to lead and manage SINAFO; (ii) improving interoperability among the members of SINAFO; and (iii) strengthening the targeting procedures of MIDIS ’s targeted programs. The third component, project management and monitoring will support the operation of the Project’s Implementation Unit (PIU).
