The eSamurdhi project is to be implemented by Re-Gov (with the assistance of Technology Team (TT) of ICTA) by adopting the Software Development Services Approach (SDSA). This approach requires defining the requirements of eSamurdhi in detail, carrying out a Research and Development (R&D) assignment to define the architecture, deciding on the suitable freely available software products that would cater for the stated functional requirements and finally developing the required software.
Re-Gov has completed the system study by deploying its human resources; however ICTA has decided to select software development service provider to develop independent but easily pluggable software component required for the eSamurdhi solution. The system study has identified nine (9) modules to be included in the envisaged eSamurdhi solution which is described under “Scope of work and outline of tasks to be carried out”.
Samurdhi is the main social welfare program implemented by the government and it is executed by two government organizations i.e. Samurdhi Commissioner General’s Department (SCGD), SASL. The SCGD has been given the mandate of identifying eligible beneficiaries and issue Samurdhi Stamps, by the Ministry of Nation’s Building Sri Lanka as a government department. The SASL is mainly responsible for empowering Samurdhi beneficiaries and low income earners. Therefore, SASL carries out number of development activities targeting to improve beneficiary income level, improve beneficiary savings habits and provide credit facilities for self employment projects. The SASL has been established under the Samurdhi Authority of Sri Lanka Act No. 30 of 1995 and managed by Financial Regulations of the GoSL.
The proposed e-Samurdhi Project mainly focuses on improving the functions and work processes of SASL. It is a centralized solution which covers National level Samurdhi activities and Local government level Samurdhi activities.
SASL is the owner and the primary stakeholder of the e-Samurdhi project. Other stakeholders are Samurdhi beneficiaries, SCDG and District and Divisional Secretariats. The Lanka Government Network (LGN) would be used as the backbone of the e-Samurdhi project.
