OpenSPP @OpenSPP

@OpenSPP is in New York this week for the UN Open Source Week 2026. @jeremi Joslin, our Executive Director, is representing the @OpenSPP team at the @UN Headquarters, joining open source communities, governments, UN agencies, fellow Digital Public Goods, and implementation partners for a week of conversations on open source, Digital Public Infrastructure, AI, and digital cooperation. For us, open source is not only about making code available. It is about building in the open, learning from real implementations, and supporting systems that countries and communities can understand, adapt, deploy, and sustain over time. The UN Open Source Week is a valuable space to share practical lessons, listen to others building in the same ecosystem, and strengthen the collaborations needed to turn Digital Public Goods into durable, country-led impact. Great to see familiar faces from across the DPG and open source community, including @Pamod_Amarakoon from HISP Sri Lanka, and colleagues from @dhis_2, @openfn, @OpenCRVS, @mifos, #MOSIP, and the wider DPG ecosystem. If you are attending UN Open Source Week, feel free to reach out to @jeremi. #UNOpenSourceWeek #UNOSW #OpenSource #DigitalPublicGoods #DPGs #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #DPI #GovTech

🚨 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 🚨 Join us for the next Code for Development webinar, organized by the @the_IDB, where we will present @OpenSPP and its role in supporting the management of social protection programs through open, interoperable digital infrastructure. 🕓 23 April - 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. ET 👉 Register here: bit.ly/3Ocgoji #Code4Dev #SocialProtection #DigitalPublicGoods #OpenSource #GovTech

🚨 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 🚨 Today, our lead developer Edwin Gonzales joins the 9th Interoperability in Action webinar, hosted by Digital Convergence Initiative (DCI), to demonstrate how social protection systems can connect to early warning systems to enable anticipatory action and improve response timeliness. This session sits at the heart of what we build for. OpenSPP is designed from the ground up to be open and interoperable, supporting governments and implementing organizations to link their social registries with the wider data ecosystem, including civil registries, identity systems, and humanitarian platforms. Connecting social protection infrastructure with early warning systems is a natural and critical extension of that vision. With OpenSPP v2.0 Biliran, teams can now deploy disaster response capabilities, area-based targeting, and consent-aware data sharing, a foundation needed to move from early warning signals to coordinated, on-the-ground action. We are pleased to contribute to this conversation alongside other organizations, including @giz_gmbh, @WFP, #PRISM, @Google, and representatives from #Rwanda and beyond. The webinar is live today, March 24, at 12:00 GMT, with live interpretation in French, Spanish, and Portuguese. #Interoperability #SocialProtection #EarlyWarningSystems #AnticipatoryAction #ResponseTimeliness #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #DigitalPublicGoods #OpenSource #GovTech

OpenSPP Biliran is a complete social protection platform built on Odoo 19, covering the full program lifecycle. This includes everything from registration and eligibility through payments, grievances, and compliance. The modular architecture means governments and implementing organizations can deploy only what they need, from a standalone farmer registry to a full SP-MIS with disaster response and case management. A few highlights from this release: 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗠𝗦: A Disaster Response Inventory Management System for managing the full lifecycle of emergency relief supplies, linked to hazard incidents and geographic areas. 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆: Built on the FAO WCA 2020 model, with crop, livestock, and land parcel management natively integrated with the eligibility engine. 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼: A no-code configuration layer with 13 pre-built Logic Packs, covering cash transfers, PMT targeting, child benefits, disability assistance, and more. A built-in governance model keeps rule changes reviewed and versioned before they go live. 𝗚𝗜𝗦: Area-based targeting and map-based visualization, allowing for geographic analysis without exposing individual-level data. This release reflects the work of our team and the feedback of early adopters and contributors who tested the preview.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 The digital transformation of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) continues to move into live implementation. This week, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office VII – Central Visayas conducted pilot testing of the re-engineered 4Ps digital platform, an important step in modernizing one of the country’s largest social protection programs. Serving 4.4 million households nationwide, 4Ps requires systems that are reliable, transparent, and built for scale. The three-day activity focused on system upgrades and process automation, including live database testing in urban centres, field visits to identify and log real-time system issues, and hands-on engagement from DSWD’s ICT and program teams. Implementation is being delivered by @newlogic, our system integration partner, working closely with DSWD to ensure the platform supports operational realities on the ground. This milestone reflects how open, interoperable Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI) can support national social protection systems, not only in theory but in day-to-day program execution. We commend DSWD Field Office VII - Central Visayas for their leadership and hands-on engagement throughout this phase.

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗦𝗣𝗣 𝘃𝟮 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲! We’re making OpenSPP v2 available in preview today, starting with the SP-MIS modules. These are the core modules of the new OpenSPP architecture, redesigned around configuration, interoperability, and embedded governance. 𝗔𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 Complex social protection systems usually need heavy customization. Every policy change, new rule, or integration requires significant and lengthy rework, often resulting in high costs, slower implementation, and sustainability challenges. OpenSPP v2 offers a different direction. It introduces a configuration-driven architecture where program rules, change requests, and integrations are structured within the platform rather than hardcoded into custom builds. By embedding governance, interoperability, and data protection are embedded at the core, the platform allows programs to evolve without being rebuilt. The SP-MIS modules now available are ready for implementation and integration. They are built to anchor new deployments and partner ecosystems. Teams can now begin integrations, develop custom modules, and test real-world program scenarios. We’ve also updated the documentation to reflect the new architecture and configuration model, so teams can move from exploration to implementation with clarity. Start exploring the new modules today, stay tuned for deep-dives into v2, and get in touch for feedback or questions.

OpenSPP v2 is landing at the end of January and we’re now in final testing with partners. This release represents a major step forward in how information management systems and registries for social protection are built and sustained. For too long, Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI) has depended on costly customization for even the smallest change. With OpenSPP v2, we’re changing that. Our goal is simple: 80% of real-world program needs should be configurable through program configurations. With the new Studio interface, pre-built configuration packs, and best practices embedded into the platform, local teams gain real control and are able to operate, adapt, and scale their programs long after the initial implementation. What’s new in OpenSPP v2: – 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Full Digital Convergence Initiative API support. Seamlessly connect your social registry with civil registries, beneficiary systems, disability platforms, and more. – 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Privacy and protection built into the data model by design. – 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀: Programs evolve. Families change. Crises happen. v2 introduces proper governance to manage change. – 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗜𝗦 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: Precise geographic targeting using boundaries and spatial queries. – 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀: Beneficiaries can prove eligibility without overexposing personal data, even when offline. – 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗣𝗜𝘀: Consistent, standards-based, and easier to integrate. More updates about OpenSPP vision for sustainable and practical DPI will be shared in the coming weeks. #DigitalPublicGoods #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #OpenSource #SocialProtection #GovTech

Reflecting on the past year and feeling incredibly grateful! The last 12 months have been a journey of steady progress, learning, and deep collaboration. We strengthened our foundation, improving documentation, clarifying our product direction, and making our tools easier for partners and governments to adopt. We invested heavily in training and capacity building, because long-term impact only happens when local teams can truly own and scale solutions. At the same time, we saw real momentum in the field: supporting digital transformation efforts across Togo, Sri Lanka, Lao PDR, and the Philippines, working alongside committed partners, and seeing firsthand how thoughtful technology can simplify processes and strengthen service delivery. What excites us most is how this year positioned us for what comes next: more scalable solutions, deeper partnerships, and a growing global community focused on building practical Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI). This work would not be possible without the broader open-source ecosystem, and we are grateful to collaborate with other fellow Digital Public Goods (#DPGs), including Open Function (OpenFn), OpenCRVS, Mifos Initiative, Modular Open Source Identity Platform (MOSIP), OpenG2P, and DHIS2. None of this would have been possible without the continued support and strategic guidance of Co-Develop, whose partnership has been instrumental throughout the year. We are equally grateful for the dedication and talent of our OpenSPP team: Celine Lewerentz, Edwin Gonzales, Greg Martel, Jeremi Joslin, Ken Lewerentz, Mark Anthony Peñalosa, Michael Gonzales, Michel Mouchiroud, and Paolo Miguel de Leon, who bring this work to life every day. Huge thanks to our partners, contributors, and everyone who made this year what it was. #DigitalPublicGoods #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #OpenSource #SocialProtection #GovTech #ICT4D #TechForGood

The Cape Town Global DPI Summit 2025 reaffirmed our motivation to build Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI) that truly serves the public good. In each session and discussion, you could sense the commitment of the 1300 delegates to ensuring that DPI must be dynamic and responsive, acting as an enabler across sectors. Its success will be how it positively impacts citizens’ realities - making inclusion and safeguards as foundational as the DPI pillars themselves. As a DPG, we had the opportunity to learn from initiatives and challenges from different continents, which motivate us to strengthen how OpenSPP provides sectoral and actionable building blocks for social protection and agriculture, supporting interoperable, inclusive, and trusted Digital Public Infrastructure. At the summit, we presented our learnings and results from building Digital Farmer Registries in Lao PDR and Sri Lanka (foundations for DPI in agriculture) and OpenSPP’s recent adoption for a large national social security programme in the Philippines. This is evidence that modularity and open-source principles help deliver real-world scale. We also sought input and partnerships for our newest initiative to leverage responsible and human-validated AI that help governments bridge the gap from policy design to system configuration. This effort aims to reduce policy execution delays, overcome silos in institutional and legal information, but foremostly ensure that people remain firmly in control of every system decision. Our sincere thanks and congratulations to @LetsCoDevelop, @ITU, @ODET_UN, the @WorldBank, and @UNDP for hosting such a collaborative event, and to all our DPG colleagues and partners for the enriching discussions. #GlobalDPISummit #GDPIS25 #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #DigitalPublicGoods #DPG4DPI #OpenSource #GovTech #AIforGood

Earlier this month, we concluded the pilot phase of the Lao Digital Farmer Registry, developed in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE) as a Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI) building block. The pilot demonstrated how fragmented datasets can be consolidated into a single, structured registry for better planning and program delivery. Across programs and provinces, agricultural data in Lao PDR has historically lived in silos, with different projects using different formats and identifiers for Agricultural Production Groups (APGs), households, and individuals. This fragmentation made it difficult to build a clear and timely picture of the sector. The pilot showed that it is possible to bring this data together in a dynamic, standardized, and reusable system. Based on the OpenSPP platform, the Lao Digital Farmer Registry can now provide a unified source of truth for agricultural data across 353 APGs, supporting timely analysis and more efficient delivery of services. The Digital Farmer Registry is ready to be scaled up and integrate the close to 10,000 APGs in Lao PDR, as well as collect data related to villages and farming households. As a part of the pilot, the ID PASS DataCollect mobile app was developed to support offline data collection and management. The tool caters for the difficulties arising when working in remote areas and allows users to record changes in APGs or households. Once connectivity is available it can synchronize with the Lao Digital Farmer Registry, resulting in up-to-date information that can support the Ministry’s work. We trained representatives from ProMIS, PICSA, and SRIWSM as well as over 40 Monitoring and Evaluation focal points to run a real-world pilot of the ID PASS DataCollect mobile app and assess its usability and impact in day-to-day data collection. The pilot has laid the groundwork for a unified, interoperable system that can scale nationally and integrate with other components of Lao PDR’s Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI). We are grateful to the many individuals and partners whose contributions made this pilot a success, including: – Dr. Phommy Inthichack, Deputy Director General, Department of Planning and Cooperation – Ms. Bounthiene Vongkaysone, Deputy Director General, Department of Irrigation – Mr. Khansawanh Sisopha, National Project Coordinator, SRIWSM-PICSA, Department of Irrigation – Ms. Rachele Arcese, Programme Officer and Manager for Lao PDR portfolio, IFAD – Mr. Soulivanh Pattivong, Country Programme Coordinator for Lao PDR, IFAD – Mr. Franck Caussin, CTA, PICSA – Mr. Kop Souksayphanh, M&E Officer, PICSA – Mr. Sylvain Dorey, Dorey Consulting We also extend our sincere appreciation to the @LetsCoDevelop team, in particular CV Madhukar, Elizabeth Ramey, Tim Wood, Lindsey Crumbaugh, Robert Karanja, Christine Kim, Aura Cifuentes, and Desire Kachenje for their support and strategic advice. #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #DigitalPublicGoods #AgTech
