Community caregivers

The Community Caregivers module manages the community workers (cuidadoras or cuidadors) who work in the field for social protection programmes.

Role of caregivers​

Caregivers are mostly women from local communities. They work on:

  • household registration;
  • awareness raising;
  • verification of conditionalities;
  • collection of complaints (GRM);
  • follow-up of vulnerable people.

Access​

Side menu: Caregivers group.

  • Total payments, executed payments, payments in progress.
  • Charts by status, by region and by sex.
  • A payments insight block: executed, being processed, success rate.

Project and programme​

Each caregiver is attached to a project and may be attached to a programme. Both fields are in the Location section of the record.

A payment cycle pays the active caregivers of the cycle's project. If the caregiver has a programme, it must be the cycle's programme.

Assignments​

The Assignments tab groups caregivers by sector. Those without a sector appear under "Unassigned". A region filter is available.

The assignment is changed by editing region, sector and locality in the record.

Removed features​

Trainings, certifications and evaluations are no longer offered in the interface.
