The Technical Adviser to the Commissioner-General of Ghana Revenue Authority, Elsie Appau-Klu, is proposing for the country to consider merging the National Identifications Authority, National Population Council and Birth & Death Registry.
In a Facebook post, the HR and Legal practitioner said the move of these national data institutions would help improve national data consolidation for the country’s digitalization drive.
“This, in my view, can help us solve many national problems related to data management and strengthen the digitisation of our national population and identification data.” – Mrs. Appau-Klu
According to Mrs. Appau-Klu, “Having several state institutions handle issues of identification and citizens’ data can be a recipe for quoas.”
“I have reflected on this issue for quite some time and wish we could strengthen a national dialogue on the way forward.
We must enhance our national systems to identify people at birth and track their progress. The Schools, banks, employers, and of course, the tax authorities will be grateful,” she added

Good morning Ghana,
How beautiful could it be if the Births and Deaths Registry, the National Population Council and the National Identification Authority in Ghana work under the same umbrella? Having several state institutions handle issues of identification and citizens data can be a recipy for chaos.
I have reflected on this issue for quite some time and wish we could strengthen a national dialogue on the wayforward.
This in my view, can help us solve many national problems related to data management and strengthen the digitisation of our national population and identification data.
We must enhance our national systems to identify people at birth and track their progress.
The Schools, banks, employers, and of course, the tax authorities will be grateful.
