Ghana launched the eTransform project in 2012 to improve government service delivery and efficiency through initiatives like a national ID card system. The National Identification Authority was tasked with implementing a unified ID system to replace the many IDs Ghanaians use for various services. Over 12 million Ghanaians have had their biometric data collected, but only 3 million ID cards have been produced and not yet distributed. An evaluation of the ID system is planned for 2017 to assess whether Ghanaians can obtain ID cards, if cost savings have resulted from their use, and if citizens are now able to better access government services.
