Maldives Partners with Thailand Company to Redesign Civil Registration System
The redesigning of the Maldives’ civil registration, vital statistics and identification management system has been contracted to Thailand’s Control Data Ltd.
The project is being implemented under the Digital Maldives for Adaptation, Decentralization and Diversification (DMADD) Project overseen by the Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology, under the World Bank’s grant assistance.
The agreement was signed by State Minister at the Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology, Dr Mohamed Kinaanath, while Control Data Ltd.’s Managing Director Nart Liuchareon signed on behalf of the company.
The agreement focuses on strengthening the Department of National Registration (DNR)’s foundational identity system, under the second component of the DMADD project.
Once established, the system will enable the operation of the e-Faas digital identity system managed by the National Center for Information Technology (NCIT), population recording by local government authorities and councils, and statistics required by the Ministry of Health and the Maldives Statistical Bureau to be accessed in real-time safely and accurately through a digital system.
