Before the distribution

  1. Prepare the beneficiary list in Microsoft Excel (.xlsx). Exports from KoboToolbox, a mobile data collection software, are natively supported.
    • The beneficiary list must contain a field/column named “code”, which contains unique values for each beneficiary. In other words, each beneficiary must have a unique code.
    • The beneficiary list can contain any number and type of fields/columns. However, for visualization purposes, it is recommended to keep only the fields/columns needed to identify beneficiaries.
  2. Click “Create a new distribution” and fill in the required details.
  3. Click “Add beneficiary data” and upload your beneficiary list.
  4. Click “View beneficiary data” and verify that everything looks as expected.

During the distribution

  1. Click “Start distribution”.
  2. Select how you will insert the beneficiary codes: with a camera, a barcode scanner or manually.

    • If identity is verified and the beneficiary receives aid, click “Mark as recipient”.
    • If identity does not correspond, click “Continue distribution”. The beneficiary will not be marked as recipient.
