Ministry of ICT and Innovation Clarifies Digital Identity Card Issuance Delays, Announces New Implementation Plans

信息通信技术和创新部澄清数字身份证发行延迟并宣布新的实施计划

Kigali, Rwanda - The Ministry of Information, Communication Technology, and Innovation (MINICT) has provided an explanation for the delays in the issuance of the highly anticipated digital Rwanda national identity card and outlined new plans for its commencement.

卢旺达基加利 - 信息、通信技术和创新部 (MINICT) 对备受期待的数字卢旺达国民身份证的延迟发行做出了解释，并概述了启动的新计划。

Initial Targets and Delays

初始目标和延迟

The national goal was to equip at least 60% of Rwandans with the digital identity cards by 2023. However, the ministry acknowledged that this target was not met due to various factors. Consequently, no digital identity cards have been issued to date.

国家目标是到 2023 年为至少 60% 的卢旺达人配备数字身份证。不过，该部承认，由于各种因素，这一目标并未实现。因此，迄今为止尚未发行数字身份证。

Partnership and Implementation

合作与实施

The Rwanda Digital Acceleration Project is a joint initiative between the Government of Rwanda, the World Bank, MINICT, the Rwanda Information Society Authority (RISA), and the National Identification Agency (NIDA).

卢旺达数字加速项目是卢旺达政府、世界银行、MINIICT、卢旺达信息社会管理局 (RISA) 和国家身份识别局 (NIDA) 之间的联合倡议。

Yves Iradukunda, Permanent Secretary at MINICT, informed the Parliament Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that the primary obstacle to implementation was the absence of a legal framework to support the program. Since the necessary legislation has been approved, activities to commence implementation are now underway.

MINIICT 常务秘书伊夫·伊拉杜昆达 (Yves Iradukunda) 告诉议会公共账目委员会 (PAC)，实施的主要障碍是缺乏支持该计划的法律框架。由于必要的立法已获得批准，目前正在开展实施活动。

Legal Framework and Funding

The law governing the establishment of a national single digital identity system was enacted in June 2023.

2023 年 6 月颁布了关于建立国家单一数字身份系统的法律。

"With the law in place and the World Bank approving the disbursement of funds for these activities, we can assure progress," stated Iradukunda.

伊拉杜昆达表示：“有了法律的制定以及世界银行批准为这些活动支付资金，我们就可以确保取得进展。”
