| Summary: | South Africa’s approach to
identification offers valuable lessons for countries looking
to increase the coverage, robustness, and use of their ID
systems. Since the end of apartheid, South Africa’s national
identification system has been transformed from a tool of
oppression to one for inclusion and the delivery of social
services. The ID system is now closely integrated with civil
registration, boasts high coverage among all segments of the
population, and has been instrumental for effective service
delivery and a cost effective electoral process. |
