Background
Pre-school services in South Africa are currently managed by paper-based information systems that provide little data, trust and efficiency in the way subsidies are managed. Amply is a first of its kind mobile platform that utilizes the Ethereum blockchain to provide unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency in the subsidy process, as well as superior information gathering and data security for children. The project is supported by the South African government, with investment from the UNICEF Innovation Fund and funding from the Innovation Edge. The data gathered with the system is expected to significantly improve impact measurement and planning. Automated and accountable subsidy payments on the blockchain provide efficiency gains by reducing friction and introducing auditability and trust.
