KEY ISSUES & STATUS 4.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project has been effective since May 2024. Fayda ID registration reached over 13 million people and progress was made to advance use cases across social protection, financial inclusion, education, and refugee use cases. The government adopted a multi-channel approach to Fayda ID registration: 1) through government-owned registration partners; 2) by NIDP’s registration staff and 3) by private sector. To date, five MOUs have been signed with government owned registration partners, enabling noticible results within a short period. NIDP also plans to engage private sector providers as Fyada ID registration Super Agents, expected to be hired in the next few months. In addition, NIDP continues to offer registration services themselves, focusing primarily on the most disadvantaged population, including refugees. NIDP is also refining an approach to Fayda card printing and distribution to ensure that the final cost to individuals is dramatically reduced or offered for free to certain segments of popultion. 5.
