In Nepal, shifting the transfer of social security allowances (SSA) from manual to digital means will lead to significant savings and increased efficiency. Savings will enable the Government to putmore resources into health and education. Digitization will also give civil servants time to focus on other tasks like revenue collection and will improve service delivery to citizens.
Yet, the study clearly demonstrated the case for the shift. Drawing from positive results of similar initiatives elsewhere (e.g., Brazil and South Africa), the Nepalese Government can give the initial push by adopting a two-pronged approach. First, it can broaden participation of various PSPs for delivering funds.
