Approving Enrolments

Introduction

Overview

Once beneficiaries have been enrolled in an intervention they need to be approved as enrolments by a senior staff member.

Who is responsible for approving Enrolments?

Programme is normally responsible for approving enrolments. Check with your Country Office to confirm who in Programme is responsible in your country.

Why is approving enrolments important?

It ensures the following:

  • The enrolled beneficiaries match the approved beneficiary list from Programme's intervention plan.
  • A senior staff member is checking the beneficiary data and signing off on it so that there is a proper audit trail.

If enrolments are not approved they cannot be included in distribution lists for the intervention. As a result, they will not receive any entitlements.

What do I need to do before approving enrolments?

  • Ensure that setting up an intervention and enrolling beneficiaries are completed first.
  • If your Country Office requires you to verify enrolments, verifying beneficiaries must be completed first.
  • You must be familiar with the intervention plan including the planned caseload and the list of approved beneficiaries.
  • For interventions using Bank Accounts and Mobile Numbers, approving enrolments will fail for recipients that do not have bank accounts or mobile numbers. You can use the registry file function of SCOPE to allow FSPs to provide bank accounts or mobile numbers for those recipients. This must be completed before you can approve them.
