Ethiopia is accelerating its efforts to reach 90 million digital ID enrollments this year, with the National ID Program (NIDP) registering an estimated one million people every week. While soliciting stakeholder support in advancing the digital ID registration process, the NIDP Executive Director particularly urged the media to promote the importance of the initiative. Apart from streamlining identification, the Fayda digital ID is also vital for accessing a wide range of services in the public and private sectors. A case study from Integrated Biometrics outlines how the company’s Kojak fingerprint scanners have been instrumental in the registration process for the digital ID.
