Over 10,000 birth certificates to be digitized by August 1.

Over 10,000 birth certificates to be digitized by August 1.

At least 10,000 Birth Certificates will be digitized by August 1, in a move that seeks to preserve archives in local councils, the Civil Status Registry Office, BUNEC, has announced.

BUNEC made the announcement on Monday, March 16, during a meeting with the various councils in Yaounde to seek ways of digitizing archives.

For the pilot phase of this project, BUNEC has chosen councils in the Mfoundi Division and is hoping to digitize at least 10,000 birth certificates.

To that effect, officials of BUNEC and mayors of the various councils of the Mfoundi division met for two days in Yaounde to seek ways of implementing the project. “BUNEC will offer support and technical assistance while the councils will have to fulfill certain commitments, notably providing space to host the project”, the Director General of BUNEC, Andre Marie Yomo, said.

The mayors of the seven councils in the Mfoundi Division pledged their full support for the project after touring all the council on Monday to see where they will lodge digital centres in their councils.

“We have a strong support staff that we will put at the disposal of BUNEC for proper training so that they can carry on with the project when it effectively takes off,” the Mayor of Yaounde II, Yannick Ayissi, said.

Following up with the project, BUNEC said a tender to acquire digital equipment for the project will be launched immediately. The project to improve on the civil status registration system is financed by the European Development Fund and will span over a year.

After Mfoundi, BUNEC will take the project to the Mifi in the West Region and Fako in the South West Region.
