# Eligibility ## Introduction Eligibility is a list of criteria/requirement that an individual/group must possess to eligible for a given program. A program administrator can apply the criteria in the registry to create a list of beneficiaries, assuming that eligibility can be expressed unambiguously based on an individual's demographic data. ## Eligibility Manager In OpenG2P, Eligibility Manager is an independent Odoo module for configuring eligibility to a program. The module provides both simple filters and advanced filters, such as the [Proxy Means Test](https://docs.openg2p.org/1.2/platform/modules/program-and-beneficiary-management-system/eligibility/proxy-means-test), to define most eligibility requirements. Program administrators can also script their own custom plugins and add them to the Eligibility Manager. OpenG2P supports three types of Eligibility Managers. | Eligibility Manager | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Default Eligibility Manager](https://app.gitbook.com/o/bnTr6Kp4z4CXR4QVIPSa/s/CwMntokukpQZjoCcqMwL/~/changes/151/guides/user-guides/eligibility-and-program-enrollment/program/create-manager-type/create-eligibility-manager-1/create-default-eligibility-manager) | Default Eligibility Manager is assigned to each program by default. The program manager runs the Default Eligibility Manager if the registrants are to be filter based on his/her eligibility criteria, as it is mandatory to configure at least one Default Eligibility Manager. | | [ID Document Eligibility Manager](https://app.gitbook.com/o/bnTr6Kp4z4CXR4QVIPSa/s/CwMntokukpQZjoCcqMwL/~/changes/151/guides/user-guides/eligibility-and-program-enrollment/program/create-manager-type/create-eligibility-manager-1/copy-of-create-id-document-eligibility-manager) | ID Document Eligibility Manager verifies the valid registrants based on his/her ID document. The program manager should configure the ID type that will be used to verify the eligibility of the registrants. | | [Phone Number Eligibility Manager](https://app.gitbook.com/o/bnTr6Kp4z4CXR4QVIPSa/s/CwMntokukpQZjoCcqMwL/~/changes/151/guides/user-guides/eligibility-and-program-enrollment/program/create-manager-type/create-eligibility-manager-1/create-phone-number-eligibility-manager) | Phone number Eligibility Manager verifies the valid registrants based on his/her phone numbers. This Phone Number Eligibility Manager is often configured along with the ID Document Eligibility Manager. | ## Eligibility Manager Configuration In the OpenG2P program, the process involved to configure eligibility manager are: 1. Program manager must configure Eligibility Manager(s) from the three types of Eligibility Manager supported by OpenG2P 2. After Eligibility Manager is configured, program manager adds Eligibility Manager to a program Note: * One Eligibility Manager can be associated with only one program * A program can have multiple Eligibility Managers ### Eligibility criteria Program manager configures eligibility criteria to enroll the eligible registrants in the program. The filters used in configuring eligibility criteria are: | Filter | Description | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Domain Filter | OpenG2P supports a variety of domain filters to set criteria for age, gender, household size, composition, and location. Program manager can use these filters to define eligibility criteria. | | Proxy Means Test | The Proxy Means Test (PMT) is considered the most effective approach to reduce the error of exclusion. PMT is available as a separate plug-in in the OpenG2P platform. Using this plug-in, program manager can configure the regression analysis formula. | | Computer fields | Computed fields are a powerful tool for abstracting information from a set of fields. Program manager can use these fields in PMT and domain filters to configure complex eligibility criteria. | For example, the image here shows eligibility criteria with two filters: first for checking that the registrant is part of exactly one program, and second for checking that the registrant is unemployed.
