In a bid to educate and motivate the citizens to get registered in national database, National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) has decided to get the help and support of civil society, says a press release.
In the first stage, Nadra has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Monday with Free and Fair Election Network (Fafen) — civil society organization working in the rural areas. The MoU was signed by Tariq Malik, Deputy Chairman Nadra, and Mossarat Qadeem, the Chairperson Fafen.
According to the MOU, Nadra will identify the areas to the Fafen where the registration of the people is low and Fafen will run the public mobilisation campaign to bring folks in rural areas out to register. “The goal is to achieve the target of 100 per cent registration through creating awareness and motivation among the people in the rural areas by using Fafen help,” said Tariq Malik.
To supervise the entire project, a member joint committee will be formed comprising a senior member from each side. The committee will also identify such areas where CNIC coverage is very low especially among the women. Such areas will be chosen as the model areas for the aggressive campaign.
The role of Fafen was restricted to create awareness and motivation among the people regarding the CNIC while it will not be allowed to collect any forms, application, materials, documentation, personal or private data or information or collection of any fee from any person on behalf of Nadra. |
