Togo Resumes Mass Biometric Registration in Golfe Prefecture on May 12

(Togo First) - Halted three months ago, the mass biometric registration campaign in the Golfe prefecture will resume next week, on May 12.

The resumption advances the e-ID Togo project, backed by INSEED and ANID, under the WURI biometric identification program. The campaign aims to assign every resident of Greater Lomé-and eventually all of Togo-a Unique Identification Number (NIU) based on biometric and demographic data.

The INSEED, Togo’s Institute of Statistics, emphasizes the strong commitment it expects from its staff to ensure the success of this sensitive phase for the public. Initially, the mass registration phase was scheduled to begin in the last quarter of 2023, but was delayed repeatedly.

The WURI-Togo project operates within a sub-regional initiative funded by the World Bank with $72 million in support.
