OpenG2P Documentation
Get started with OpenG2P
Bootstrapped by the DSTI, Government of Sierra Leone, the “OpenG2P” aims to provide a confluence for and solutions to effectively digitizing government to persons, and large-scale social protection transfers. It is a set of digital building blocks helping SPs digitize key cogs & address gaps in the delivery chain of targeting & enrollment, list management, payment digitization, & recourse.
OpenG2P comprises of several projects (blocks), each addressing a single key pain point in the delivery chain. These can be used independently of the other blocks depending on a program’s gaps or as a package seamlessly integrated to provide an end-to-end solution kit.

Why OpenG2P
As governments across the world respond to the economic fallout of COVID-19, they are being hampered by their digital infrastructure: rickety, dated, and incapable of serving portions of the population in a targeted and timely manner.
OpenG2P is an opensource and collaborative approach to helping governments and humanitarian organizations worldwide provide critical and often lifesaving social nets to its vulnerable
Contributors
OpenG2P emerged out of the 2014-2016 Sierra Leone Ebola Payments Program, bootstrapped by the DSTI, GoSL, iDT Labs, Mifos and partners and is now being developed as a Digital Public Good.
OpenG2P depends on an active community of volunteers. Anyone can help with defining challenges, delve into the Github backlog, and improve the documentation on this site.
