The government is introducing a Single Electronic Identification System to simplify access to public services through secure digital ID cards. Backed by a US$34.5 million contract with Veridos, the programme will streamline distribution of cash grant vouchers, reduce duplication, and improve transparency. Once fully rolled out, the cards will serve as a single access point for healthcare, education, social assistance, and future e-governance services. This initiative is a cornerstone of Guyana’s digital transformation strategy, enhancing efficiency and citizen-friendly service delivery.
