Challenges, analysis, and approach
A population register is the cornerstone of an efficient national identification and administration system and implementing one is much more than just a technological choice. It requires a detailed analysis of the specific situation in each country, as well as both structural and legal adjustments. The aim of this document is to initiate an in-depth discussion of the steps involved in meeting this challenge faced by many African countries and to define an implementation framework able to carry an ambitious plan through to a successful conclusion.
