Morocco Second Identity and Targeting for Social Protection Project

active

Prospective

The project aims to support the development of key building blocks of a modern, adaptative and efficient social protection system. The project will support the national rollout of the National Population Registry (Registre National de la Population – RNP) to provide a trusted source of identity and an accurate digital authentication of individuals using the Civil and Social Digital Identifier (IDCS). In addition, the RNP design incorporates services such as digital authentication and electronic “know-your-customer” (eKYC) services. The new services will contribute to extending the usefulness of the system and establish the basis for a modern, digital platform for citizens and residents to verify their identity in a remote and paperless form, which can be used across social programs and beyond.The Project will also support the implementation of the Unified Social Registry (Registre Social Unifie – RSU) as a unique gateway for all SSN in Morocco. The RSU will provide reliable socio-economic information on households to estimate the level of consumption per household member and, on this basis, identify the applicants who are eligible for SSN programs. The RSU constitutes the first level of the universal and adaptative social protection system and will improve the targeting of SSN programs, reduce fraud and error, including duplicate or ghost beneficiaries.
