Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>The Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS) has pledged to conclude issuance of digital identification to over 1.1 million refugees within a year.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia hosted those refugees in 27 refugee camps, which makes the country continue to be one of the largest refugee-hosting nations in Africa, it was indicated.<\/p>\n

This initiative launched by the Refugees and Returnees Service, National ID Program, and UNHCR a month ago aims to streamline government and private services for the over 1.1 million refugees in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Refugees and Returnees Service, Deputy Director-General Biruhtesfa Mulugeta said the new refugee ID would allow refugees to access key services in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

The previous accessing services were obstructed by forged documents and a cumbersome paper-based system, it was indicated.<\/p>\n

As a result, these digital IDs will create a secure and organized information system by eliminating these challenges, the deputy director-general explained.<\/p>\n

Noting on the special feature of the digital ID which is not a national ID, Biruhtesfa clarified that it has a unique identifier linked to our refugee management system, and will allow for efficient data sharing as well as improved service delivery.<\/p>\n

The concerted endeavors to expedite the issuance of the digital ID is part of the country\u2019s longstanding commitment to the well-being of refugees, ensuring their safety and access to essential services, he elaborated.<\/p>\n

According to him, Digital IDs will empower refugees to participate more fully in Ethiopian society, fostering both social and economic benefits.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia has a long history of reputation in hosting refugees, following international law for over 40 years, it was stated.<\/p>\n
