Cornelius Williams, outgoing global director for child protection at UNICEF, shares insights into identity and birth registration from his 30-year career in the sector.
20 African countries are on track for Sustainable Development Goal 16.9 says Williams – to provide legal identity for all by 2030, including birth registration.
But much still needs to be done. African nations have found robust approaches to provider further coverage and now need to work together to share these breakthroughs across the continent.
African governments are learning the significance of civil registration as a foundation for a modern state, and civil registry departments are better staffed and placed. How can they be better connected with ID departments?
The cost savings and efficiencies have never been more obvious. But can any country have a fully digital system? Are countries able to resist vendor lock in?
Are governments being overpromised systems by private vendors?
