Data for social protection operations may be stored in one or several programme management information systems (MISs), in a social registry, or a beneficiary registry – in A data governance framework for digital social protection systems, we generally refer to these as a social protection database.

The assumption in the framework is that this information is curated by a policy maker who assumes a policy design, coordination, and digital service execution role.

Technical database administration tasks also fall under this role, but a wider remit is intended in this description.

In practice, some of the tasks involved in this role might be split with the IT services role, with the distinction between the two lying in the focus of IT services on purely technical matters.

The office of the organisational unit that administers the social protection data would often be a
suitable host for the data governance secretariat that a Data governance council may wish to create.
