The National Identity Agency (ANID) is currently carrying out a biometric registration test called ‘Proof Of Concept’, which will run until November 4.

The aim is to check that the system is operating normally, and to correct any malfunctions.

There are indeed adjustments to be made”, said ANID Director General Colonel Silété Roselin Dévo.

The biometric census of individuals is a process that involves collecting biometric data, such as fingerprints, iris and photograph, on every person residing in Togo.

This information is then stored in a centralized database.

The use of biometrics makes it possible to improve security, particularly for identity documents.

But that’s not all. It also helps to improve public services, such as education, health and social programs.

Biometric data can be used to collect precise demographic data on the population. This can help the government to better plan and deliver services to citizens.
