But more importantly, customising it to the law of the land. And it has been a very enriching, very enriching experience. It has been a very enriching experience, one that we look forward to deepening across sectors and communities.Kisembo further informed that a pilot project on this technology is already underway and in the coming months, Uganda will integrate its ID system with birth and death certificates.
