Document Details:
The Government of Vietnam (GoV) has expressed a strong interest in exploring the opportunity to deploy a full-fledged Electronic Identity (eID) system in Vietnam. The country is already putting in place the necessary prerequisites for its deployment, including a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and the compulsory issuance of national ID cards. These initiatives have been undertaken with World Bank support under the Vietnam ICT Development Project. The GoV is also planning to develop the National e- Authentication Framework (NAF) which will provide the much-needed capacity for users to be able to access government services and social benefits using a single electronic identity, including through mobile phones.
This Public-Private Partnership (PPP) assessment report provides an essential component of the World Bank and the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) effort to assist the GoV in formulating a sound strategy for the design and execution of eID systems, including mobile-based identity platforms (mobile ID), in partnership with private service providers. This report is intended to be read in tandem with the “Vietnam Electronic Identification Technical Report”, which provides the vision and implementation strategy for the proposed eID system in Vietnam.
