[OpenG2P](https://openg2p.org) is an open-source social benefits registry and delivery platform that enables digital cash transfer from Government to Person. The platform offers interoperable components for digitizing and automating service delivery and enables inclusive and efficient delivery of benefits.&#x20;

OpenG2P was set up with the vision to accelerate social protection, financial inclusion, and digital development. These are the guiding principles behind the OpenG2P vision.

OpenG2P is a Digital Public Good ([DPG](https://digitalpublicgoods.net/registry/openg2p.html)) recognized by the DPGA and has received contributions and support from multiple organisations and implementers. The project, co-founded by the Government of Sierra Leone and UNDP and supported by [Mifos](https://mifos.org) in the early stages, is now housed in[ IIIT Bangalore](https://www.iiitb.ac.in/), a not-for-profit university in India.

The platform offers people-facing processes such as onboarding into schemes, identity verification, and cash transfers to their bank accounts. It also incorporates government department-facing features such as the creation of registries and beneficiary lists, eligibility checks, scheme definition, payment disbursement and reconciliation.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.openg2p.org/1.1/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
