[Hiring] IT Specialist for Mobile App Development @AGORA

Role Description

The Social Assistance Family Package (SAFP) is a cornerstone initiative under Cambodia’s National Social Protection Policy Framework (2024–2035), designed to uplift poor and vulnerable households by enhancing human capital and building long-term resilience. Administered by the National Social Assistance Fund (NSAF) in coordination with key ministries and subnational administrations, the SAFP consolidates multiple targeted cash transfer schemes, including:

• Support for pregnant women
• Support for young children
• Support for the elderly
• Support for persons with disabilities
• Support for school children
• Support for individuals living with HIV/AIDS

Following its official launch in April 2024, the SAFP has transitioned from emergency COVID-19 cash transfers to a more integrated and sustainable social protection model. A pivotal advancement is the development of the Cash Plus model for piloting, which links financial assistance with referrals to essential services such as:

• Disability inclusion
• Gender responsive healthcare
• Education and vocational training

The programme also aims to enhance household resilience to climate-related and other shocks. To effectively operationalize the SAFP and support the development and enhancement of related applications and systems, a National IT Specialist is essential. This specialist will assist the NSAF in designing and implementing robust digital solutions, including:

• Mobile applications for the Family Package Cash Plus referral and social services
• Shock responsive social assistance
• Modules for monitoring

A key focus will be ensuring interoperability with other social protection platforms and relevant systems, such as:

• Monitoring and evaluation systems
• TVET
• The Disability Management Information System (DMIS)
• Other relevant databases

The IT Specialist will play a critical role in enabling integrated beneficiary management, tracking referrals to essential services, incorporating shock-responsive features for crisis response, and supporting real-time monitoring and performance reporting—ensuring transparency, accountability, and continuous programme improvement.
