Ethiopia's National ID Program has extended its partnership with MOSIP (the Modular Open Source Identity Platform) via the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU). The partnership enables the NIDP to perform extensive field tests and a pilot rollout with a goal of 100,000 registrations using the Ethiopian National ID solution. We hope our partnership with MOSIP will be bi-directional, where NIDP also enriches MOSIP's platform and its global base. Ethiopia can lead by example for the rest of Africa and the world on how to establish a secure, privacy-preserving, and inter-operable digital ID system. In January this year, the Ethiopian government's NIDP has also partnered with Tech-5 for the implementation of biometric technologies and digital ID.
