Key Facts

- The programme aims to update civil registries amid ongoing security challenges.
Card Text
Mobile registration units are the operative detail, since fixed enrolment centres exclude exactly the populations that civil registry gaps already affect. Donor-funded card volumes are a partial measure of coverage without a corresponding plan for renewal and reissuance.
