CDPI Team
The Centre for Digital Public Infrastructure (CDPI) has signed a three-year agreement to serve as a technical advisor to CLARCIEV (the Latin American and Caribbean Council for Civil Registration, Identity and Vital Statistics) on digital public infrastructure, providing pro-bono support to help member countries strengthen their civil registration and identity systems. Signed at the XXIII CLARCIEV Meeting and Technology Fair in Tegucigalpa, the agreement covers CLARCIEV’s 19 member countries across Latin America and the Caribbean.
Without a birth certificate or legal ID, a person can be shut out of basic services and rights. Ending that exclusion is what CLARCIEV works toward, under its slogan “una región sin invisibles: ¡identidad para todos y todas!” (a region without invisibles: identity for all). Digital public infrastructure can help get there: shared, open digital systems that let a country’s registration, identity and records services connect and work together, while each country keeps ownership and control.
Under the agreement, CDPI will offer member countries pro-bono advice and practical help: regular webinars and a hands-on workshop each year, along with support for national and cross-border projects when countries ask for it. Anything useful that comes out of the work can be shared openly, so one country’s progress can be picked up by the next.
