Abstract
The national civil registration authority in Niger is the Directorate of Civil Status, Migration and Refugees, under the Ministry of the Interior. It has a national Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) coordination committee, the Observatoire National de l’État Civil (ONEC). The registration of births, marriages, and deaths in Niger continues to be paper based. Factors preventing the use of computers have been a lack of stable electricity grids and limited internet coverage. The National Agency for the Information Society (ANSI) along with the Ministry of Digital Economy, is responsible for creating a system for establishing and managing people’s electronic identity.
