Social Cash Transfer Use Case

Demonstration of a full stack implementation using a Unconditional Social Cash Transfer (USCT) use case

Unconditional Social Cash Transfer (USCT) programs help families meet their basic needs for well-being and safety and serves as their path to self-sufficiency. USCT are cash payments provided to financially disadvantaged or vulnerable people or households without requiring anything in return (i.e. without conditionality).

This demo covers only a small fraction of a USCT user flow for the purpose of using various Building Block APIs. For a more comprehensive visualization of the use case visit the GovStack USCT simulation.

Which GovStack features are demonstrated?

With this use case implementation, we demonstrate the GovStack approach through...

One possible way to implement the GovStack Specifications

Browse through all the stack components on the left-hand side menu, to explore the technical details on how we put the specifications into practice.

Interoperable Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)

GovStack Specification compliant and open source licensed

BB Identity: MOSIP
BB Payment: Mifos Payment Hub
BB Information Mediator: X-Road
BB Digital Registry: OpenIMIS

Architectural Best Practices

Different Integration Scenarios (native and via adapters)
UI Switching (ID Authentication)

Reusable and Open Source

Replicate the Frontend, Backend and Building Block (Emulators) or reuse specific components using our DYI section.

Independent and automated Infrastructure and BB Deployment

Learn how we reduced dependency on one cloud provider and set-up continuous integration pipelines to ease managing building blocks software candidates.

Use Case Frontend Walk Through

Registry Officer ID: 2371487382 Enrollment Officer ID: 5649650687 Payment Officer ID: 4893724702 OTP: 1 1 1 1 1 1

Open the Use Case Frontend and follow these steps to navigate through the demo. In italic, read a very simplified version of the BB interactions.

Walk Through Steps

Click "Log in with e-signet" The user gets forwarded to the UI of the Identity BB. Demonstrating UI Switching
Click "Log-in here" and enter the ID 5649650687 to log in as Enrollment Office
Enter 1 1 1 1 1 1 as One Time Password (OTP)
As fictional Enrollment Officer give consent to using essential personal information (You do not give consent to use your personal data! It is only for demonstration purposes.) The user gets forwarded back to the Use Case Frontend UI with respective role parameters.
Enter the "Candidate Database" and enroll any person to any available benefit package The user gets a list of candidates requested by the Use Case Backend from the Registry BB channeled through the Information Mediator BB.
After returning to the overview page, click on your profile in the top-right to log out The user triggers the Use Case Backend to request the Registry BB to change the enrollment status of a candidate.
Repeat the log in procedure with the ID 4893724702 to log in as Payment Officer Again, the user gets forwarded through the UI of the Identity BB.
Enter the "Beneficiary Database" and mark (check box) a person to order payment
Confirm Payment Order The user triggers the Use Case Backend to request the Payment BB to issue a payment order. They Payment BB returns successful execution of the payment.
Optional: Log in with the ID 2371487382 to log in as Registry Officer and create new candidates.

Building Block UIs

Administrative UIs of the Building Block Software (X-Road, MOSIP, Mifos Payment Hub) can only be demonstrated by GovStack Initiative staff, until we implemented a secure way to expose the Admin UIs publicly. If you are interested, please contact us.

How are the stack components assembled?

The following diagram shows one use case instance with used applications and Building Blocks.
