Qualitative status for implementation
A principal goal from the World Bank funded project will be to unify the current variety of social registries into a single, integrated national identity system (e-ID) which citizens can use to access all public services. By the end of the project, the aim is to enroll half the population in the e-ID system, with women, who are significantly underrepresented in current identity systems, representing half of the enrolled.
