The phase of a program involves program creation, program activation, program closure, and program re-activation. A program manager is one who creates and manages multiple programs.
Configure managers
A program manager configures the relevant managers required for a program.
A program is composed of various managers, each of which configures the parameters for a specific program such as eligibility determination, deduplication, notification, cycle management, entitlement management and payment management.

In OpenG2P, the program manager maps a self-service portal form to a program which is essential for streamlining the application process for beneficiaries. This functionality allows beneficiaries to access and complete the forms when applying for a specific program. The mapped forms become integral parts of the program, ensuring that all required information is collected efficiently and accurately, facilitating better management and processing of applications. This integration enhances the user experience for applicants and improves the administrative efficiency of program management.
Multiple programs
OpenG2P platform has a backend office application for administrators or the program managers to manage multiple programs. The platform allows multiple programs to run in parallel. These programs enroll the registrants from the same registry database. Its program management module offers a rich set of functions for enrolment, eligibility criteria, program cycles, entitlements, payments and notifications.
Program disbursement cycle
Program disbursement cycle is the process of disbursing the entitlement within a cycle/duration defined in a relevant program. A disbursement cycle can be weekly, monthly, yearly, quarterly, fortnightly and so on depends on a program.
OpenG2P platform allows the program manager, the cycle manager to create multiple cycles and the disbursement manager to process the entitlements to reach the beneficiaries. Social benefit delivery programs for unemployment benefits, pensions, and scholarships are cyclic in nature and disburse payments in multiple cycles.
