We are working on the beneficiary first social protection project in the Philippines. FARRS stands for Fast, innovative, and responsive Service transformation. The project was motivated by a huge delivery challenge during the initial phase of COVID-19 response in the country. The project builds on the four-piece Pantavit Pamilian Filipino program, the country's flagship conditional cash transfer. Benefiting about 4 million households, about 20% of the total households in the Philippines, but the benefits of the project through the systems building will go far beyond the four piece. The three transformational areas that are benefiting from G2PX include, first, adoption of digital ID, the foundational ID feelsis. Second, Digital G2P payment. Third, digital data governance. Eventually, with the help of the project, the beneficiaries will be able to enroll and verify themselves in the social assistance programs without having to go through lengthy application process, and they will be able to receive benefits through this payment without having to travel and queue for hours.

During the initial phase of COVID-19 response, the Philippine government used manual processes and physical cash delivery. It was soon realized that such delivery mechanisms are unsafe and inefficient. Thus, efforts to shift cash transfer to digital payments followed through the partnership with financial service providers. As a result, the average waiting time to receive COVID-19 cash assistance went down significantly by about 45 minutes (170.3 minutes in the manual payment and 126.6 minutes in the digital payment with a large variation across different financial service providers and agents). We spoke with World Bank’s Yoonyoung Cho about the impact of digital transformation in the Philippines. Cho is a Senior Economist at the Social Protection and Jobs Global Practice in the Philippines and is the Task Leader of the Beneficiary FIRST social protection project and G2Px program.
