  1. Addressing Vulnerability and Inclusiveness: DelhiMission Convergence Samajik Suvidha Sangam John Blomquist, World Bank Workshopon Inclusive Cities June 7-8, 2011 Delhi

  2. MISSION CONVERGENCEObjectives • MC is a society of Delhi government founded in 2008 with the aim of making Delhi a more inclusive city by: • Helping integrate the existing social security and welfare schemes and improving access • Improve delivery of schemes through a more unified structure

  3. MISSION CONVERGENCEObjectives • Delhi State has more than 40 social programs spread across 9 different departments: • Health and Family Welfare (hospital treatment, JSY, School Health Scheme) • Education (SSA, Midday Meal, subsidies, scholarships) • Women and Child Development (ICDS, Women pension, Laadli) • Social Welfare (Old Age Assistance, Nat Family Benefit Scheme) • Food and Civil Supplies (PDS, AAY) • Labor (Construction Workers Scheme, RSBY) • Urban Development (SJSRY) • Information Technology • SC&ST/OBC/Backward Classes Welfare Dept • MCD, NDMC and DDA, Technical Training Education

  4. MissionActivities • Developed MC Survey Database • Design and data collection • Data correction pilot • Created associated organizational structure • PMU • MNGOs, DMUs and GRCs • District entitlement committees • Service Delivery • Integrating administrative data system • Developing a smart card system • NGO accreditation • Implementing women’s empowerment programs such as vocational training, legal services, nutrition and health camps and microfinance • Supporting partnering line departments (Social Welfare, Labor, Urban Development) • Common application form for social welfare and women and child development schemes • Use of MC database and GRCs extension workers for RSBY enrolment • Implementation agency for SJSRY

  5. OrganizationalStructure This structure has potential to serve as (i) outreach network for line departments (ii) extensive community outreach network, and (iii) a ready institutional platform for state convergence

  6. Data Integration and E-Entitlement Smart Card • Data systems are being integrated across programs and ministries to share common platforms; • E-card will be used across participating programs and multiple ministries: • Securely identify entitlement holder (linked with UID) • Verify eligibility and quantity of entitlements • Provide access to benefits (cash through associated banks, in-kind transfers)

  7. Vulnerability Survey • Door-to-door survey of potential vulnerable households in Delhi, using GRC-SKs, done in phases; • Started with notified and non-notified slums and resettlement colonies (F, G and H colonies under MCD classification); • More than 9 lakh households surveyed so far, with about 5.1 lakh deemed “vulnerable” or extremely vulnerable;

  8. Characteristics of Vulnerable Households (Phases 1)

  9. Characteristics of Vulnerable Households (Phase 2)

  10. Mc SURVEY DATABASE Database has value as a readylist of potential beneficiaries (egAAY, RSBYetc)

  11. FutureChallenges • What is the relationship between the vulnerability survey and the urban BPL classification? • How is “vulnerability” measured and how does this relate to program eligibility? • Can the DRC-GRC model improve awareness among potential beneficiaries and improve service delivery? • Can the multiple programs converge into a more effective core set of programs? • The system is still evolving, but represents an innovative approach to making social protection programs more inclusive
