The idea of introducing National identity card for Tanzanian citizens and residents was started in 1968 during the Interstate Intelligence Gathering meeting involving delegates from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia. During that time, Zambia and Kenya already had their own National identity card. It was agreed that to strengthen security relations based on the Rule of Law in these four countries, Uganda and Tanzania also needed to issue National identity card to their citizens.
There have been various government efforts to ensure all Tanzanians and resident foreigners are issued National IDs, but these efforts have not produced the expected results for a long time due to various reasons.
It's clear that at this time, there's significant importance in having National identity card given the current circumstances. The establishment of the East African Community, where five countries have united and agreed that people from these countries can travel without barrier, has also increased the importance of having National IDs. It should be noted that Tanzania is the only country in that community without National IDs.
A feasibility study of National identity card conducted in 2006 has shown that the project is feasible. Furthermore, the report outlined the project's cost estimates and how it will be implemented, with Smartcard technology being chosen as agreed upon by the Council of Ministers in a meeting held in Dodoma in February 2007.
The President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, has already signed the Instrument of Establishment for the National Identification Authority (NIDA). This document was published in the Government Newspaper, GN No.122, dated 01/08/2008.
Furthermore, in its meeting on February 3, 2007, the Cabinet provided guidance to establish a Steering Committee comprised of Permanent Secretaries, Heads of Departments, and Units involved in key matters regarding National IDs. Among other things, this committee will be responsible for providing guidance and direction for the project's programs.
The Cabinet decided that the feasibility report by Gotham International Limited (GIL) should serve as the implementation guideline for the project, and the company was appointed as the Project Consultant.
