National identity system and card infrastructure

Awarded Status as of 13 May 2024 · Funding type: Concession or PPP

AUGENTIC announced a fifteen-year agreement to renew Cameroon's national identity infrastructure, distinct from its passport partnership 1. Planned work includes 68 additional citizen offices, three personalisation centres and renovation of more than 200 enrolment offices. These figures describe planned scope, not verified completion. CAMERCAP-PARC later questioned the foreign-supplier model and its implications for domestic capacity 2. The supplier's announcement emphasised local training and knowledge transfer 1. The opened sources do not establish final acceptance, contractual data control, a current fee schedule or adjudication of the policy concerns.
