| Summary: | Guinea’s ITC sector, the pilot project
for the establishment of a national digital identification
system must be more clearly defined; clarification is
required regarding the status of the project signed at the
end of March 2015, for the establishment of a civil registry
and the production of National Identity Cards.
Notwithstanding the solution chosen by the Guinean
authorities, the terms of reference must be drafted in such
a way as to ensure that: the needs of all sectors are duly
taken into account; the right of all to civil registration
is respected; resources already invested are re-utilized;
the system to be put in place is perfectly well organized
and in conformity with an existing legal framework, or one
to be defined; the system will be interoperable; the system
is sustainable.a comprehensive assessmentof eID initiatives,
in order to avoid launching an eID project in an
uncoordinated manner. Therefore, the National Digital
Identification Register, herein after referred to as the
Project, must constitute the backbone of allservices to
citizens and be a flagship project in the area of civil
registration. The most difficult phase of the Project is the
initial development of the register, which must be
constituted while ensuring that the rights of all citizens
are respected. This may only be achieved if there is full
transparency at all stages of the process and if all
citizens understand the issues involved. As part of the
preliminary study on the implementation of a national
digital identification system, we have conducted an analysis
of the current situation, gathering information on systems
already in place or in the process of implementation, as
well as the needs of the various Ministries. This report
should serve as the basis for recommendations to be made for
the implementation of a national digital identification
system. This document is intended for all stakeholders who
have participated in this study. It could be used in the
event of arbitration by the Guinean authorities in relation
to the development and implementation of the Project. |
