Description[edit | ]
Israeli firm Pangea has been awarded a government contract by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) worth more than $70 million.
As part of the new public-private partnership (PPP) agreement, the firm will develop and operate a centralized, automated criminal biometric identification system (ABIS) that the DRC government will use to generate certificates of integrity (also known as certificates of non-criminal record) for citizens.
The system will enable the creation of a nationwide digital database that will include the demographic and face and fingerprint biometrics of offenders currently listed in the archive. The database will reportedly be accessible from 150 police stations across the country.1
