Cabinet approval has been granted to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with India to obtain a grant for the implementation of the Unitary Digital Identity Framework for Sri Lanka.
The Government said it has decided to prioritize the implementation of a Unitary Digital Identity Framework for Sri Lanka as a national-level program.
Under the proposed Unitary Digital Identity Framework, it is expected to introduce a personal identity verification device based on biometric data, a digital tool that can represent the identities of individuals in cyberspace, and the identification of individual identities that can be accurately verified in digital and physical environments by combining the two devices.
During the bilateral talks between President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi in December 2019, the Government of India agreed to provide a grant to implement the Unitary Digital Identity framework.
Accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers has approved the proposal made by the President in his capacity as the Minister of Technology, to work towards the signing of an MOU to obtain the said grant from India and to implement the proposed project. (NewsWire)
