(ID4D) initiative uses global knowledge and expertise across sectors to help countries realize the transformational potential of digital identification systems to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. It operates across the World Bank Group with global practices and units working on digital development, social protection, health, financial inclusion, governance, gender, and legal, among others. The mission of ID4D is to enable all people to access services and exercise their rights, by increasing the number of people who have an official form of identification. ID4D makes this happen through its three pillars of work: thought leadership and analytics to generate evidence and fill knowledge gaps; global platforms and convening to amplify good practices, collaborate, and raise awareness; and country and regional engagement to provide financial and technical assistance for the implementation of robust, inclusive, and responsible digital identification systems that are integrated with civil registration. The work of ID4D is made possible with support from World Bank Group, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Omidyar Network.

Lack of civil registration cuts citizens from fundamental rights, such as access to education or social welfare services. In Burkina Faso, as anywhere else, those without an identity are also those who suffer the most from poverty. “By 2030 provide legal identity for all including free birth registrations.”—Sustainable Development Goal 16.9. Individual identification, and related rights, have become a top priority for governments all around the world and are part of the Sustainable Development Goals. In Burkina Faso, the issue of civil registration is now part of the National Plan for Economic and Social Development (PNDES). ICT has been recognized as an essential tool to manage identification in West Africa. In May 2015, a workshop on the deployment of an Integrated Management System for Electronic Identification of Citizen in West Africa (SIGIEC) took place in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Following this regional meeting, and in the context of growing demand for better identification management in the country, it was necessary to assess more precisely the situation in Burkina Faso. With support from the World Bank ID4D initiative, a team undertook the Identification Management System Analysis of Burkina Faso, with the aim of preparing an e-Government lending project in the country, for which identification management would be a key asset. In order to conduct the assessment, a World Bank technical assistance mission visited the country from April 26 to May 4, 2016. Based on this assessment, the Government of Burkina Faso may consider the following steps to strengthen the integration between civil registration, identification, and vital statistics in the country and support achievement of universal and continuous birth registration. Strengthen focus and leadership on civil registration and identification Civil registration and identification have been the subject of numerous laws and programs for the past 10 years, including the National Strategy for Civil Registration in 2012. The focus on identity has recently been renewed during the national and municipal elections and with the newly elected Président Roch March Christian Kaboré who committed to implementing the national unique identification number in its presidential program. However, the focus on civil registration and identification may not have reached the momentum it deserves. In particular, the topic is not closely linked to the high-level development agenda of the country. There is a need to raise awareness and consensus among high-level officials regarding the importance of an integrated approach to civil registration, identification, and vital statistics for development. The issue of civil registration and identification needs also to be more connected to sectoral policies, administration’s reforms, and the high-level development agenda. Update the institutional framework to develop an integrated system for registration and identification As expressed by dedicated stakeholders, it is recommended to update the institutional framework to offer more space for collaboration between technical and high-level officers from Office of National Identification (ONI), DGMEC, and National Institute of Statistics and Demography (INSD). This may be done through flagship projects such as birth registration, the digitization of the civil register, and the implementation of a national unique ID. Only the highest authority level in the country can lead and push for this reforms. Executi v e s u m mary v Increase digital capacity to manage the digitization of the civil registry It is recommended to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralization (MATD) in terms of ICT with the appointment of several IT staff and training programs for civil officers, in particular in primary and health centers. It is also recommended to involve more closely ANPTIC in projects related to the digitization of the civil register and establishment of a unique identification number as well as in efforts toward improving interconnectivity with other foundational and functional registries. Leverage existing efforts on birth registration through stronger public-private collaboration It is recommended to convene a technical group of experts to supervise and assess more closely the birth registration technologies and procedures currently tested in pilot phases. The development of an efficient and low-cost solution might also benefit from closer collaboration between private and public institutions currently involved in these projects. In terms of investment and funding, this collaboration might take the form of a public-private partnership in the longer term. Establish health centers as official civil registration centers for birth Health centers, where most of the births take place, are not fully integrated as part of the birth registration system. Maternities play an important role in improving the rate of births’ registrations. It is possible to further increase this rate by investing more in health centers as birth registration centers. While 86 percent of births take place with the help of health care professionals, and 91 percent of children under five are vaccinated, only 77 percent are registered. By improving the rate of births in health centers, and by training health care professionals, in particular with mobile technologies, it might be possible to make great progress toward universal birth registration. Review the definition of the Unique Identification Number in order to enable digitization of the civil registry The current definition of the unique identifier for the citizen, which is based on biographical data, would oblige to digitize the whole civil registry. An alternate solution would be to define a unique identifier, not based on biographical data, that would enable to avoid the need to use data in the civil registry. It would then be possible to start from the National Burkinabe Identity Card (CNIB) database (including the digitization of corresponding 7 million copies of birth certificates archived by ONI) in order to quickly consolidate a preliminary civil registration database and generate the Unique Identification Number for every individual possessing a CNIB. vi ID4 D C o u nt ry D i ag no s t ic : B u rki na Fas o Background Burkina Faso, a low-income economy and landlocked Sub-Saharan country with a population of 18.1 million inhabitants, has made important progress in recent years toward universal civil registration and identification. Birth registration is now estimated at 77 percent,1 well above the 41 percent for the Sub-Saharan African region,2 and 73 percent of the population aged 15 years old and over hold a biometric identity card (facial recognition).3 However, important disparities remain throughout the territory. While 93 percent of births are registered in the capital of Ouagadougou, only 40 percent are recorded in the Sahel. The gap is also high between urban areas where 7.1 percent of children are unregistered as opposed to rural areas, only 26.4 percent, and where 70.1 percent of the population lives. In a country heavily reliant on agricultural production, 80 percent of the workforce is employed in the sector,4 addressing the rural population will be key to reaching universal registration. Identity management had been the subject of an important effort in past years with the publication of a new National Strategy for Civil Registration. However, the social uprising of October 2014 and the period of political uncertainty that followed may have delayed its implementation. As the country begins anew with an elected government in place since January 2016, there is an opportunity to relaunch the efforts toward a universal civil registration system for the country, taking into account recent development, in particular in the ICT sector. Moreover, this delay may be an opportunity for the country to take into account new advances, in particular in the ICT sector, in order to reach universal registration.

In May 2015, a workshop on the implementation of an Integrated Electronic Identification Management System of the Citizen for West Africa (SIGIEC)5 was held in Ouagadougou. The workshop was organized by the Ministry of Digital Economy and the ICT Agency, with support from the African Development Bank. The event, which convened 60 participants, concluded on the importance of ICT in tackling identification in West Africa. Participants recommended to reinforce collaboration between the civil registry and identification institutions in order to develop an integrated digital solution. Following the regional workshop, and in the context of a growing demand for digital identity management, there was a need to further assess the situation in Burkina Faso. This assessment of the Burkina Faso ID system was undertaken under the umbrella of the World Bank ID4D initiative and in the context of the preparation of a World Bank lending project, e-Burkina, for which a digital ID will be a foundational element. Its general objective is to map out the current identification system, identify its ID assets, and suggest areas where they can be strengthened. The assessment addresses civil registration, identification, and vital statistics, as well as a number of functional registries that would greatly benefit from a more integrated approach to identity management. Additionally, a number of World Bank programs and projects, including the Public Sector Modernization Program and the Social Safety Net project have been considered. Other donors are also interested in the identity agenda, such as the African Development Bank, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF, and they have been informed and consulted by the World Bank team throughout the process. In order to conduct the assessment, a World Bank technical assistance mission visited the country from April 26 to May 4, 2016. The mission was led by Pierre Chrzanowski (ICT Consultant) with support from Tasseré Pitroipa (Information Technology Analyst) under the remote supervision of Samia Melhem (Lead Policy Officer ICT), Axel Rifon (ICT Policy Specialist), and Vyjayanti Desai (Program Manager ID4D, World Bank). 5 See website of the event: http://www.sigiec.gov.bf/ viii ID4 D C o u nt ry D i ag no s t ic : B u rki na Fas o Objectives of the assessment In Burkina Faso, a project of digitization for the civil registry does exist, along with the implementation of the unique identification number (UIN). There is, however, no integrated approach that would take into account identification and vital statistics. Therefore, the main objectives of the assessment were as follow: (i) take stock of existing practices and current projects and plans regarding modernization of civil registration, vital statistics, and identification; (ii) identify and assess administrative (functional) registries and potential benefits from enhanced digital ID; (iii) develop an integrated and cost-efficient approach to the modernization and digitization of civil registration and identification, including the setting up of a unique digital ID for individuals and the enhancement of vital statistics; and (iv) elaborate on related policy recommendations and suggestions. Objectiv es of the as s es s m e nt 1 Key findings Institutional and administrative framework There is no integrated institutional framework for the management of civil registration, identification, and vital statistics in Burkina Faso. Civil registration is the shared responsibility of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralization (Ministère de l’Administration Territoriale et de la Décentralisation, MATD). In effect, civil registration was operationally led by the Directorate of the Civil Registry (Direction de l’État Civil, DEC) and placed under the General Directorate for Local Authorities of the MATD. In July 2016, the DEC was reinstated at a higher level and renamed the General Directorate for Civil Registry Modernization (Direction Générale de la Modernisation de l’État Civil, DGMEC) as it was before the transitional government. There is also a directorate for civil registration centers, jurisdictions, and statistics. One of the mandates of this directorate is to collect data on vital statistics. In order to conduct this mission, specific forms have been designed and disseminated to the communes (municipalities). Mayors of communes were invited to appoint focal points to input the forms on a regular basis. Those forms are handled at the DGMEC. Health centers have been playing a key role in the improvement of birth registration, but their status in the institutional framework is still unclear. Health centers have the competency to deliver birth notification for births happening in their territorial zone. Birth notification is the document needed by parents in order to do civil registration. Registration of vital events is undertaken in primary and secondary civil centers, as well as in consulates for Burkinabe citizens living abroad. There are 350 primary centers and 987 secondary centers for civil registry throughout the country.6 In primary civil registration centers, civil officers’ functions are covered by the mayor and its deputy.7 In secondary civil registration centers, civil officers are under the responsibility of local authorities. In practice, local health centers (Centre Sanitaire et de Promotion Sociale, CSPS) can also serve as secondary civil centers but are not recognized as such in the law. There are 2,148 local health centers in the country, including 328 private entities.8 This is equal to about one health center for 365 births per year.9 Lastly, it was estimated for the year 2015 that 91 percent of the children between 12 and 23 months had received a diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT) vaccination,10 which is well above the 77 percent birth registration rate. The agency responsible for issuing ID cards is also placed under the umbrella of the MATD, but collaboration with the civil registry is very limited. The management and production of the national identity card (Carte Nationale d’Identité Burkinabe, CNIB) are the responsibility of the Office of National Identification (ONI), a semi-autonomous self-funded authority established in 2004 under the MATD and now attached to the Ministry of Security. The agency employs 250 staff for its two main Card Production Centers (Centres de Production de Cartes, CPC) in Ouagadougou and Bodo-Dioulasso. All staff are police or gendarmerie officers. There are also local officers responsible for delivering identity cards in the 370 Data Collection Centers (Centres de Collectes des Données, CDDs) which represents one collection center per commune, as well as 16 centers for Ouagadougou and 6 for Bobo-Dioulasso. In practice, one local officer covers several local centers. Lastly, there are 45 Intermediary Data Processing Centers (Centres de 6 Source: PNDES 2016–2020, p. 38. 7 Art. 263 and 267 of CGCT. 8 Source: Ministère de la Santé, Annuaire Statistique, 2014. 9 This figure is calculated for year 2014 where the projected number of births was 784,092 and on the virtual hypothesis that all births were performed in health centers. In practice, it is estimated that 86 percent of births were attended by a professional health worker in 2014. 10 DPT is a combination of vaccines against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus.

Once the CNIB is printed and ready, it is then transferred back to the original CDD in order to be delivered to its owner. In the absence of a functional and integrated administrative framework for the production of vital statistics, household surveys remain the main source of information. DGMEC is responsible for collecting, processing, and communicating vital statistics. The National Institute for Statistics and Demography (Institut National de la Statistique et de la Démographie, INSD) is in charge of carrying out the national census and coordinating the national statistics system. There is, however, no coherent and integrated institutional framework for the collection and production of vital statistics between ISND and dedicated agencies (DGMEC, ONI, and health centers) resulting in unreliable and highly aggregated vital statistics. For this reason, one of the main sources of data regarding vital statistics remains household surveys or census supported by development partners (such as the DHS, 2010) and the national census (RGPH, 2006). Legal and regulatory framework A revision of the main code for civil registration is expected to introduce the digital civil registry. Currently, the legal and regulatory framework does not support digital technology and only considers paper-based registers as legal documents. However, initiated by DGMEC, a revision of the Code of Persons and Family (Code des Personnes et de la Famille 1989 CPF) is currently under way. In its current draft version, the revised law would consider both physical and digital registry as legal bases. The draft of the bill has still to be approved by the Government Cabinet before going to Parliament. K e y f i nd i ng s 3 The new version of the CPF should clarify the status of health centers as secondary civil registration centers. In the revised version of the code, any health center, from any level, would be recognized as a secondary civil registration center by default. Deputy civil officers serving in secondary centers would have the same responsibilities of civil officers from primary centers. There is, however, no indication in the current draft of the law whether current secondary centers would remain as such. There is a legal framework for the deployment of a Unique Identification Number (UIN) for individuals, which differs in its definition from the identification number currently used for identification. There have been several attempts to implement the UIN for citizens through the law (2004 and 2014 decrees). The current definition of the UIN for the Citizen in the Civil Registry (Identifiant Unique du Citoyen à l’Etat Civil, IUCEC) includes 17 digits and is based on the place and date of registration in the birth register (see Annex  6). However, pending the deployment of the digital civil register, the UIN will stay missing from civil registers. Meanwhile, ONI introduced its own unique number for the management of identity cards, the Personal Identification Number (Numéro d’Identification Personnel, NIP). The definition of the NIP is derived from the outdated 2004 civil registry decrees’ definition, which is based on the place where the individual was living when issued the card, as opposed to the place where the individual’s birth was registered (IUCEC definition). There is now about 73 percent of the population aged 15 years old and over who possesses a unique number through the CNIB. Both the IUCEC (civil registry unique number) and the NIP (identification card unique number) contain 17 digits, but they differ in their definition. While the IUCEC is based on the place of registration of birth of an individual, the NIP is based on the place of residency when an individual was first issued their CNIB. Comparison of the IUCEC and the NIP Numbers IUCEC (civil registry unique number) NIP (identification card unique number) Not implemented yet. 7,219,197 individuals with an NIP (31 Dec 2015) which is 73% of the 15+ population. 17 digits defined as follow: 17 digits defined as follow: One (1) digit for the administrative level of the civil Two (2) digits for the region of residency of the registry center where the individual registered the individual when issuing a CNIB for the first time birth Five (5) digits for the administrative entity of the civil Two (2) digits for the province of residency of the registry center individual when issuing a CNIB for the first time One (1) digit for the civil registry center Two (2) digits for the department of residency of the individual when issuing a CNIB for the first time Four (4) digits for the year of registration in the birth Three (3) digits for the commune or village of register residency of the individual when issuing a CNIB for the first time Four (4) digits for the order of registration in the birth Two (2) digits for the sector if the individual lives in a register commune, 00 otherwise Two (2) digits for the control key attributed by the Six (6) digits for the order of registration in the sector software or village 4 ID4 D C o u nt ry D i ag no s t ic : B u rki na Fas o Comparison of the IUCEC and the NIP Numbers Conclusion: ƒƒ IUCEC and NIP cannot be inferred from each other as they are based on different definitions. ƒƒ NIP cannot be used as a Unique Identification Number for the whole population as it is based in its definition on information related to the issuance of the first CNIB and as such excludes individuals below 15 years of age. ƒƒ IUCEC contains data enabling to trace the place of birth; NIP contains data enabling to trace the place of residency. Both may, therefore, be used for discrimination purposes. ƒƒ It will not be possible to implement the IUCEC for all people whose birth was registered through off-line, paper- based, birth registers as there are errors and lack of consistency between them. Recommendations: ƒƒ It is recommended to replace the IUCEC with a new Unique Identification Number that does not contain any data allowing identification of an individual. Such an identification number that does not depend on civil registration data would enable the use of the CNIB database as a source to build the digital civil registry. There is a legal framework for the protection of personal data in Burkina Faso, including a data protection law11 enacted in 2012 and an operating data protection authority. The data protection is broadly applicable and provides the right of choice/consent to individuals (Article 5), the right to access and/or correct one’s personal data (Article 6, Article 17), imposes clear responsibilities on information holders (Article 12 to 15), and provides the right of redress against both private and public bodies that violate data privacy (Article 46 to 54). There is also a Data Protection Authority, the Commission de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CIL) in charge of enforcing the law.12 Barriers and obstacles to timely and universal registration The current civil registration system, which relies for the main part on secondary registration centers, is not properly sized to capture all birth events. There are around 1,000 secondary centers throughout the country for a total of about 8,228 villages. As a result, a large part of the population still lives at a too far walking distance from a secondary center. In response, the new National Strategy for Civil Registration aims to reduce the average distance from a civil registration center from 55 km to 2 km, therefore raising the number of secondary registration centers to 80 percent of villages.13 This, however, may introduce another challenge in terms of efficiency and management, with too many civil officers to manage and control, who would perform too few birth registrations each.14 Another option would be to delegate the responsibility of birth notification to a representative of the community with mobile officers who would come every week to collect the notifications and perform the registrations. Health centers, where most of the birth events really happen, are not fully integrated into the birth registration system. As seen in the Institutional and administrative framework section, maternity centers have been playing a key role in the improvement of birth registration rates. A strong focus on health centers may help to raise the rate even further. It is estimated that 86 percent of childbirths were attended 11 Loi n° 010-2004/AN portant sur la protection des données à caractère personnel. 12 Data Protection Authority. 13 The National Plan for Economic and Social Development 2016–2020 mentions the objective of 5,000 secondary civil registration centers by 2020. 14 This issue has been raised by a panel of experts during a review of the Strategy in 2013. See Mission du Groupe Régional d’Experts sur l’Etat Civil et Statistiques de Vie au Burkina Faso, 8 novembre 2013, Ouagadougou. K e y f i nd i ng s 5 by a professional health worker in 2014, while the national birth registration rate is at 77 percent. Improving the number of births in health centers or attended by professionals, and empowering health workers with regard to birth registration procedures might be some of the most effective paths to reach timely and universal registration in Burkina Faso. The process of birth registration, still manual and paper-based, is prone to errors and delays. According to the current registration procedure, one of the parents, a representative, or a witness has to notify the birth to a deputy civil officer who will collect birth data and send the data to the closest civil registration center through a birth notification form. Once the birth is registered, the parents can obtain a birth certificate from the primary civil registration center. In practice, the process can be lengthy and unclear, resulting in many parents refusing to complete the registration. Many of the civil officers operating in primary and secondary centers are lacking the required skills to perform their duty. For every local district (commune), the mayor or its deputy serves as the official civil officer. In practice, deputy civil officers in primary and secondary centers are appointed by the local district to perform their task. There is, however, no requirements regarding the qualification of a deputy civil officer, and neither any or very limited control from central government and the judiciary branch. As a result, many birth registrations are declared noncompliant or irregular when parents ask for a birth certificate, often years after the birth, as when the document is required for school enrollment, for instance. The late registration process excludes, even more, the underprivileged population from birth registration. After the legal two-month period, birth registration can only be performed through a process of late registration called suppletive judgment (jugement supplétif). The process for late registration is the following: (i) a request is sent to the president of the departmental court. It can be written or oral; (ii) the declarant gets a certificate of non-registration obtained from the civil officer; (iii) the declarant requests the civil court from the place of birth to issue a suppletive judgment for which he must provide the necessary information including the certificate of non-registration and, possibly, be accompanied by two adult witnesses of the birth; and (iv) the declarant provides the suppletive judgement to the civil officer in order to register the birth in the civil registry. This procedure disadvantages even more parents who failed to register the birth of their children in due time and therefore who are more likely to fail in completing a more complex and expensive administrative process. Progress has been made regarding gender gap in civil registration. About 42 percent of women in rural areas do not have birth certificates, against 10.7 percent of women in urban areas. For the men, the rate are 29.3 percent in rural areas and 6.9 percent in urban areas. These figures show that about 3 million women in Burkina Faso are still living without official recognition. This situation is a major constraint to the implementation of gender policies developed, in particular by the Ministry of Promotion of Women and Gender (Ministère de la Promotion de la Femme et du Genre). In 2014, the former government launched the program “One Woman, One Certificate” with the aim to register 2 million women and girls. Latest statistics tend to demonstrate that gender gap regarding birth registration almost disappeared (23 percent of boys non-registered in 2016 against 23.3 percent of girls). The registration procedure for Burkinabe citizens giving birth in neighboring countries does not fit with the situation of this population. A significant number of the women who live in neighboring countries or within Burkina Faso but close to the border end up giving birth outside of the territory. For those people, the procedure is to register the birth at the consulate of the foreign country, although they may live only a few kilometers away from a civil registration center inside Burkina Faso. As a result, very few births from this population are registered. For the population, the lack of awareness, and language and cultural barriers are among the main obstacles to birth registration. Many parents from rural areas, who are themselves often unregistered, still have difficulties understanding the importance of birth registration. The issue is reinforced by communication barriers. There are an estimated 70 different languages in Burkina Faso. And while French is the official 6 ID4 D C o u nt ry D i ag no s t ic : B u rki na Fas o language, it is spoken by only 18.2 percent of the population.15 Mooré is the most popular language; it is spoken by 50.5 percent of the Burkinabes. Lastly, there are reports that mothers from several ethnicities or areas cannot register their child alone, because of the predominant role of the father. This is the case for several ethnicities in the Sahel region. Inadequate technologies, as well as poor archives management and statistics, make it very difficult to perform day-to-day management and planning of civil registration. In the absence of a centralized and real- time digital civil register, management and improvement of the birth registration system is a great challenge. Use and management of technology (ICT) Management of civil registry still relies on paper-based decentralized processes. There is, however, a project (the SIGEC/EDEN project) to deploy a central digital civil register along with the use of mobile phones to facilitate birth registration at civil registration centers. Some elements of the projects, such as the database and the birth registration mobile application, have already been developed and tested in several areas. Such an IT project would require several qualified human resources. However, with only six IT staff deployed on the project in collaboration with ANPTIC, the current project is understaffed. A second project, led by a local private company named iCivil, has started to test a bubble tag authentication technology for birth registration with the city of Ouagadougou. The project, if approved at the national level, would also include the setting up of a nationwide digital civil register. The identification register is the most comprehensive digital register of individuals in the country. ONI operates its own data center, and the process for identity card creation is almost fully digitized. Because of poor connectivity, only the required documents for enrollment, such as the birth certificate, are not digitized but archived in a paper format within ONI’s premises in Ouagadougou. The identification database contains 73 percent of the population aged 15 years and over,16 and as such might be considered as a candidate or source for a digital population register. There is currently no interconnectivity and interoperability between legal (foundational) registries and administrative (functional) registries. With the civil register still in paper format and in the absence of a unique identification number, there is no interconnectivity between the civil register database and the identification database, neither between those registries and any of the existing functional registries. As a result, a copy of a birth certificate is required for almost all administrative procedures. Deployment of ICT solutions for civil registration could benefit from the support of the new ICT Agency. The National Agency for ICT Promotion (ANPTIC), established in February 2014, aims at ensuring the implementation of projects and ICT development programs, as well as supporting the government’s strategy for electronic administration. The agency is currently rolling out fiber connections between the main administration facilities within the country and implementing data processing capacities to extend the governmental network capacity (G-Cloud project). The agency is in a good position to also play a key role in the deployment of integrated digital registration and identification solution. The project for an Integrated Management System for the Civil Registry (SIGEC), which started in 2012, is still in the pilot phase. Launched by the former DGMEC, the SIGEC project aims at establishing a central civil register database with the implementation of a unique ID. One of the main components of the project was to connect every primary civil registration center to the governmental network via VSAT connection, as well as every secondary civil registration located in CSPS and High Courts with WiMAX connection. The project started with a pilot phase in the districts of Falagountou, Nobéré, and Dissin, but so far has not gone beyond preliminary steps, which included the development of the software “Citoyen” for civil registration management. An additional component to the project, funded by UNICEF, was to deploy a 15 Source: National Census of Households and Population, 2006. 16 Data goes to a dededuplication process. K e y f i nd i ng s 7 mobile solution for birth registration. The mobile application called EDEN (Information System for Birth Registration) has not been deployed yet. The project iCivil, which aims to introduce bubble tag securitization system for birth registration, is ending its pilot phase in Ouagadougou. In parallel to the SIGEC project, a local company called iCivil is pushing the government to adopt a bubble tag solution for birth registration. iCivil is partnering with the French company Prooftag,17 who invented and is developing the bubble tag. The company describes its technology as a material made of a transparent polymer that generates bubbles randomly. Bubbles appear with position, size, and shape that cannot be manipulated. According to the company, each set of bubbles is unique and impossible to replicate. It can, therefore, be used as an authentication key when, for instance, asking for a copy of a birth certificate. The technology is already used for merchant’s cards delivered by the Business Formalities Centers. Currently, in its pilot phase with the city of Ouagadougou, the budget for the deployment of the technology nationwide is estimated at $US4.5 million, including the setting up of the digital central database as well as the Short Message Service (SMS) system for birth registration, but excluding any digitization or securitization of former records. Interconnectivity and interoperability between the legal (foundational) registries and administrative (functional) registries Digitization of the civil register to enable interconnectivity with identification and administrative registries will be a challenge. Biographical data of the population are recorded and archived in books spread across the 350 primary centers of the country, making any digitization project a very difficult task. As an example, it took one month for a team of 10 people to digitize the civil registers of Nobéré, a district of about 33,000 inhabitants.18 And scaling up the process to the entire country will not be straightforward. Paper forms for birth declaration and civil registers’ format vary between districts. Some use the current version defined in the CPF 1989; some use an older and different version. Additionally, errors, irregularities, and lack of information in the declarations of birth and death will make digitization of many of the records and the attribution of a unique number based on biographical data very difficult or even not possible. For this reason, it is not recommended to use data contained in the civil registry such as place of birth or year as part of the definition of a UIN. The identification registry is the most comprehensive population database of the country and might be the best digital source of information to initiate a population register. The CNIB database contains data on 7,219,197 individuals on a population of 18.1 million. Records include date and place of birth as well as a unique number (NIP). However, as seen in the Legal and regulatory framework section, the unique number used in the identification database does not make a good candidate for a universal unique number. On the other hand, the definition of the national unique number planned to be used for the civil register (IUCEC) is based on the place and date of registration of an individual in the birth register. Therefore, it will not be possible to implement the IUCEC for all people whose birth was registered through off-line, paper-based birth registers as there are errors and lack of consistency between them. It is recommended to replace the IUCEC by a new UIN that may be inferred from data contained in the CNIB database (with a link to the NIP) and that does not contain any information that may be used for discrimination purposes. There is currently no administrative registry interconnected with the identification database for authentication purposes. All administrative registers use their own unique ID scheme, and only one, the Civil Servants database, also contains the CNIB number in its records. 17 See http://www.prooftag.net/ 18 This was done during a pilot as part of the SIGEC project. 8 ID4 D C o u nt ry D i ag no s t ic : B u rki na Fas o Assessment of administrative (functional) registries In Burkina Faso, there are a number of administrative (functional) registries that may greatly benefit from an integrated approach for registration and identification. Below is an assessment of the main functional registries currently in use in the country. Social Security register The National Center for Social Security (Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale, CNSS) delivers pension, family and maternity benefit, as well as employment injuries for private workers and employers. It is placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Service, Work and Social Security (Ministère de la Fonction Publique, du Travail et de la Sécurité Sociale). The CNSS database contains 364,622 salaried workers (active and inactive) and 102,721 employers (active and inactive). The unique ID for the program is the matriculation number which contains 12 digit numbers and one key letter. Authentication is based on a paper card. Elections register The National Independent Elections Commission (Commission Électorale Nationale Indépendante, CENI) manages the voter’s register. Thanks to registration campaigns for the last elections (national in 2015 and municipal in 2016), the biometric database now contains 5.5 million (5,517,015) individuals out of 8.4 million eligible. Data include card number, last name and first name, and pooling station (number, place, secteur, commune, province, region). The registration of voters in the current biometric database started in 2012 with parliamentary and municipal elections. The company Gemalto provided technical assistance to the process with the deployment of 3,500 registration stations throughout the country and 3,800 officers trained.19 The registration and deduplication process is based on the centralized Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). A barcode plastic card containing the biometric data is given to the voter. The unique number is sequential and contains 8 digits. Business register Businesses can now be registered through the Business Formalities Center (Centre de Formalité des Entreprises, CEFORE). CEFORE enables individuals to handle in one place all formalities related to the creation of a business including: registration in the Commercial Register (RCCM ID); registration for tax services (IFU ID); registration to social security (CNSS ID); and registration to the trade service. CEFORE also manages its own digital register of businesses with around 45,000 businesses registered (78 percent are individuals, others are corporations). The database contains the CNIB number (NIP) for each individual. There is, however, no unique ID for companies. CEFORE also delivers merchant’s cards whose authentication is based on the bubble tag technology. Social Safety Net The Social Safety Net (World Bank project) supports the establishment of a safety net system with the capacity to reach a significant number of beneficiaries. During the lifetime of the project, a cash transfer program will reach up to 40,000 poor households in the three regions with the highest levels of chronic poverty and child malnutrition in Burkina Faso (East, North, and Middle-East). The project is supervised by the Ministry of Social Action and National Solidarity (Ministere de l’Action Sociale et de la Solidarite Nationale). The target is 316,000 beneficiaries from the East, Middle-East, and North regions within 19 See http://www.gemalto.com/brochures-site/download-site/Documents/gov-burkina-fr.pdf K e y f i nd i ng s 9 474 villages (the country counts 8,228 villages in total). So far, 24,226 households have been surveyed from the North region, and 15,054 are eligible for the program. In terms of number of individuals, this accounts for 194,374 persons identified, 79,549 of whom are direct beneficiaries of the Social Safety Net. The program uses a paper-based card for authentication purposes and allows for registration of undocumented individuals. Surveyed households are identified through a unique ID specific to the program. Identification of individuals is also possible, but only through a unique ID derived from the household ID, making the unique ID for individuals not permanent. The Social Safety Net also aims to deliver a birth certificate and CNIB card to every individual enrolled in the program. Civil servant register Civil servants are managed through the SIGASPE database (Integrated System for Human Resources Management of Civil Servants). There are currently 140,000 civil servants registered in the database running on Oracle. SIGASPE is hosted by the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Development but managed by the Ministry of Public Service, Work and Social Security. Each civil servant is delivered a barcode card for authentication purpose. The card contains biometric data for those enrolled since 2012. Biometric information is also captured for candidates for civil service. Lastly, the register also includes the CNIB number. Health workers register Ministry of Health manages the LogRH system (Health Workers Management System). LogRH contains specific information not collected through the SIGASPE database, such as a different nomenclature specific to the health sector and data on local staff in health centers. The database contains 24,000 health workers.20 Taxpayer register The taxpayer register is managed by the General Directorate for Taxes, under the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Development. Each taxpayer is identified by an IFU number (identifiant financier unique). One individual can have several IFUs. 70,366 active taxpayers, including 40,086 individual companies, are registered in the database (on 31 March 2016). There is, however, no interconnection with the CNIB database. 20 There are 26,000 health workers in the SIGASPE database, but LogRH is considered more up to date than SIGASPE by the Ministry of Health. 10 ID4 D C o u nt ry D i ag no s t ic : B u rki na Fas o Overview of the civil registration and identification system Current system The following schema is a summary of the current level of integration between civil registration, identification, vital statistics, and administration registries. It is based on the ID4D integration model (See Annex 5). Figure 3: Overview of Current Civil Registration and Identification System (integration level) Ov e rv ie w of the civ il r eg istration a nd  id e ntificati on syste m 11 Potential improvements The schema below illustrates potential improvements to the system including the setting up of a unique national ID (NID), the establishment of a central digital civil registration database, the interconnectivity with existing administrative databases, as well as better integration with the vital statistics system. Figure 4: Overview of Potential Improvements for Civil Registration and Identification System 12 ID4 D C o u nt ry D i ag no s t ic : B u rki na Fas o Recommendations The Government of Burkina Faso may consider the following steps to strengthen the integration between civil registration, identification, and vital statistics in the country and support achievement of universal and continuous birth registration. These recommendations are based on the Identity System Management Analysis of Burkina Faso. Strengthen focus and leadership on civil registration and identification Civil registration and identification have been the subject of numerous laws and programs for the past 10 years, including the National Strategy for Civil Registration in 2012. The focus on identity has recently been renewed during the national and municipal elections, and with the newly elected Président Roch Marc Christian Kaboré, who committed to implementing the national unique identification number during his presidential program. However, the focus on civil registration and identification may not have reached the momentum it deserves. In particular, the topic is not closely linked to the high-level development agenda of the country.21 There is a need to raise awareness and consensus among high-level officials regarding the importance of an integrated approach to civil registration, identification, and vital statistics for development. The issue of civil registration and identification needs also to be more connected to sectoral policies, administration reforms, and the high-level development agenda. Update the institutional framework to develop an integrated system for registration and identification The current institutional framework does not facilitate collaboration between the agency in charge of civil registration (DGMEC) and the one in charge of identification (ONI). Even though both bodies were under the supervision of the same ministry, the steering committee for the National Strategy of Civil Registration did not include ONI, and DGMEC is not involved in identification management. As expressed by dedicated stakeholders, it is recommended to update the institutional framework to offer more space for collaboration between technical and high-level officers from ONI, DGMEC, and INSD. This may be done through flagship projects such as birth registration, the digitization of the civil register, and the implementation of a national unique ID. Only the highest authority level in the country can lead and push for these reforms. Increase digital capacity to manage the digitization of the civil registry The current capacity of the MATD in terms of ICT does not fit with the objectives of the SIGEC project and the National Strategy for Civil Registration, including digitization of the whole civil register and implementation of an SMS-based birth registration system. Even though there is still the possibility to contract private partners to undertake some of the tasks, there is a need to strengthen the internal capacity and skills of civil registration officers and IT staff who will have the responsibility to maintain the systems. The new ICT Agency (ANPTIC), whose mission is to support the implementation of IT projects across the 21 Civil registration and identification did not appear in the Strategy for Growth and Sustainable Development 2011–2015 (SCADD) and only appears under the local governance section in the National Plan for Economic and Social Development 2016–2020 (PNDES). Recom m e ndati ons 13 government, has not been formally involved with civil registration projects so far. Yet this may be mutually beneficial. The ANPTIC is managing a G-Cloud project that will connect most of the main public facilities to the government network. Additionally, its current Manager for Application Systems was one of the main architects of the SIGEC project while working for a private company. It is recommended to strengthen the capacity of the MATD in terms of ICT with the appointment of several IT staff and training programs for civil officers, in particular in primary and health centers. It is also recommended to involve ANPTIC more closely in projects related to the digitization of the civil register and establishment of a unique identification number, as well as in efforts toward improving interconnectivity with other foundational and functional registries. Leverage existing efforts on birth registration through stronger public-private collaboration There are currently two distinguished projects for improving birth registration through the use of mobile phone technology in the country: the EDEN project, related to the SIGEC project of the MATD; and the iCivil project, a private initiative based on a strong bubble tag authentication technology and currently tested in Ouagadougou. Both projects rely on the implementation of a central civil register database. Instead of considering these two projects as competitors, the government might benefit from a closer collaboration between different stakeholders involved. It is recommended to convene a technical group of experts to supervise and assess more closely the birth registration technologies and procedures currently tested in pilot phases. The development of an efficient and low-cost solution might also benefit from closer collaboration between private and public institutions currently involved in these projects. In terms of investment and funding, this collaboration might take the form of a public-private partnership in the longer term. Establish health centers as official civil registration centers for birth Health centers, where most of the births take place, are not fully integrated as part of the birth registration system. Maternities play an important role in improving the rate of birth registrations. It is possible to further increase this rate by investing more in health centers as birth registration centers. While 86 percent of births take place with the help of health care professionals, and 91 percent of children under five are vaccinated, only 77 percent are registered. By improving the rate of births in health centers, and by training health care professionals, in particular with mobile technologies, it might be possible to make great progress toward universal birth registration. Review the definition of the Unique Identification Number in order to enable digitization of the civil registry The current definition of the unique identifier for the citizen, which is based on biographical data, would oblige to digitize the whole civil registry. Based on the pilot phase with the district of Kaboré, a simple calculation shows that the digitization of the entire civil register would require the work of 100 digital officers during a period of three years, and without any certainty that all records may be digitized. An alternate solution would be to define a unique identifier, not based on biographical data, that would avoid the need to use data in the civil registry. It would then be possible to start from the CNIB database (including the digitization of the corresponding 7 million copies of birth certificates archived by ONI) in order to quickly consolidate a preliminary civil registration database and generate the Unique Identification Number for every individual possessing a CNIB. People not already in the database and requesting a CNIB for the first 14 ID4 D C o u nt ry D i ag no s t ic : B u rki na Fas o time would then automatically be enrolled into the civil registration database. The enrollment into the digital civil register would also be automated for every new regular birth registration (capturing new lives) through a digital birth registration solution. Lastly, a specific registration program could be dedicated to individuals between 0 and 15 years of age to ensure they do not have to wait to get a CNIB to be enrolled in the digital civil register.
