Impact Metrics

Overview of the Project

Impiger designed and implemented a web-based Management Information System (MIS) for NUSAF3, integrating real-time biometric verification to validate beneficiary records and prevent duplicate entries. The platform provides end-to-end fund tracking, subproject monitoring, and expense management, empowering the government with improved accountability and efficiency in social welfare program execution.

Challenges

  1. High risk of duplicate beneficiary entries leading to misallocation of funds.
  2. Lack of transparency in fund disbursement and project tracking.
  3. Manual monitoring processes created inefficiencies.
  4. Limited ability to track procurement and operational expenses.
  5. Weak reporting and visibility into project outcomes.

Approach

  1. Built a real-time biometric validation system to ensure unique beneficiary verification.
  2. Developed a comprehensive MIS dashboard for fund management, procurement, and project monitoring.
  3. Enabled automated expense tracking and procurement workflow integration.
  4. Implemented a monitoring and evaluation module to track subproject progress.
  5. Ensured compliance with accountability and transparency frameworks through audit-ready reporting.
