Introduction
• In ideal circumstances, CR and NID are interlinked andCR serves as a key source of information feedingNational ID system with vital events.
• In Rwanda both CR and NID systems suffered from thegenocide against Tutsi that took place in 1994.– A number of CR recordswere destroyed.– After the Genocide the GoR had to rebuild a system thatintegrate CR and NID considered today as a reference foronline authentication of the citizens.

1.SolutionsToScatteredData
- BuildaCentralizeddatacollectionsystem
-Establishmentofanelectronicbackendsystemthatmanagesthepopulationregistry.
• MIDIS ( Multiple Identity Document Information System) on windows Platform and SQL Server Database
• AFISAutomated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)
• National Population Registry (Tiger) running on windows and SQL Server.
• This results in storing more than 11 millions of records in the centralized national population registry with a unique ID number and Application number for every citizen.

and issued a unique identifier to Rwandans aged 16 andabove.
2. GoR is looking at building an electronic civil statusregistration system by:§ Computerizing all existing civil status records;§ Harmonizing the civil status records with national
population registry.§ In that regard, NIDA is developing a civil status
modernization strategy that intends to implement in 4phases.

Registration and Vital Statistics to enhanceharmonization of data collection and data sharingwith stakeholders;
3. Enforcement of the Law on persons and family;4. All existing civil registers at sector level should be
well managed and archived electronically;5. Capacity building program for officers in charge of
civil registration should be enhanced for betterservice delivery.
