The introduction of a National Electronic Identity Card (NECIC) is of vital importance in today’s digital world, particularly to guarantee a country’s digital sovereignty.

National Electronic Identity Card (NECIC) development is essential for today’s digital challenges, in particular for a country’s digital sovereignty. This initiative is part of an overall drive to modernise identification systems and secure personal data. The NEIC provides a robust and secure solution for the electronic authentication of citizens’ identities, facilitating online transactions, administrative procedures and the protection of sensitive information.

It also strengthens the fight against fraud and identity theft, helping to create a secure and reliable digital environment. By guaranteeing the reliability and integrity of digital identities, thanks to its PKI managed by the Agency, the CNIE plays a crucial role in preserving Gabon’s digital sovereignty, enabling the authorities to effectively control and manage access to online services and critical digital infrastructures.

It is therefore an essential pillar of the overall cybersecurity and data protection strategy, ensuring the confidence of citizens and economic operators in the national digital ecosystem.
