Speaking at the ceremony, Hon. Orando Brewster, Minister of National Mobilization, remarked that the construction of a digital system is a “vital project for our country.” Brewster stated that this initiative is “needed for efficiency and effectiveness and includes targeted interventions for households” since it intends to strengthen the social assistance department, which incorporates several areas of the social protection system.
Martin Sheen, SAMIS Information Technology Officer, stated that the Ministry is dedicated to ensuring that the SAMIS system gets operational and is maintained.
Lilit Gasparyan, Social Protection Project Manager, provided an overview of Synergy, saying that it is a well-established company with over twenty-five years of expertise.
