Social Services Information System (SOSIS)

Note: SOSIS is to be developed, maintained and
supported by the ITSD of the Ministry of Local
Government and Social Affairs. It will serve as a
computerized database and information system with a
number of components --- some of which will be publicly
accessible at the community level. SOSIS will host all
relevant social welfare system administration information
as they relates to: (i) the social welfare services (e.g. type
[education,
poverty
alleviation,
orphan-support,
emergency relief, accommodation etc], kind, scope,
coverage, cost, duration etc) and (ii) recipients-related
information (e.g. type and profile of recipient;
qualification and entitlements; gender; age of recipient, as
well as the coverage, type, quantity, and the amount of
benefits or services received or to be received by the
recipient and for how long etc). SOSIS will also serve as
the National Database on key Social Indicators.
