| Overview : The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Malawi is assisting the Government of Malawi in the establishment of a National Identification and Registration System (NRIS). In the course of 2017 up to 9 million eligible Malawians are expected to be registered and issued with a biometrically secure National Identity Card (NIC). The expected results of this multi-donor Project are to: design, establish and manage the necessary systems, infrastructure and equipment for the National Registration and Identity system, employing biometrically secure Smartcards; supervise the mass registration for all eligible Malawians (an estimated 9 million) within the country by December 2017; transition the system to a continuous registration model in 2018 and to develop the capacity and systems of NRB to maintain and operate the system; provide an interface to other public and private sector systems that allow for appropriate data sharing within a legal framework that complies with international principles and standards for the right to privacy and data protection; and to ensure the effective management of the Project. To achieve this goal a mass registration exercise is planned to be undertaken across five phases from May to December, 2017. During each phase that covers a number of Malawi’s 28 Districts, spread over three regions, 2000 registration teams (composed of 2 Registration Officers (ROs) each for a total of 4,000) are expected to be deployed with 200 Supervisors to register eligible Malawians. In this context, UNDP Malawi, invites suitably qualified professional service providers with a proven track record in technical human resources and financial management. The company is required to identify, recruit, administer and manage the payroll activities for the Registration Officer(RO)s and Supervisors throughout the mass registration exercise from April to December 2017. |
