Madagascar’s Ministry of Digital Development, Digital Transformation, Posts and Telecommunications (MNDPT) announced earlier this year, the imminent launch of a digital national identity card project for citizens aged 15 and above.
The project, financed to the tune of $140 million by the World Bank, encompasses biometric enrolment, data collection, digital infrastructure development, and card production. It aligns with the Malagasy government’s Digital Strategic Plan 2023-2028, seeking to streamline administration and centralize data for efficient population registration and census.
