CNIC and Voter Registration Campaign in Seven Districts

TDEA implemented a NIC and Voter Registration Campaign to facilitate citizens in accessing resources, social services, and economic opportunities that are linked directly or indirectly with the official proof of identity, i.e., computerized national identity cards (NIC). The project aimed to conduct a focused advocacy campaign to decrease the men-to-women registration differences in seven districts. The first phase of the project focused on data collection from NADRA and comparing it with FAFEN’s election data to compile a general trend vis-à-vis NIC and voter registration. The second phase focused on conducting an assessment exercise in four districts to identify obstacles, hurdles, and to select model districts for a focused advocacy campaign. In the last phase, the unregistered women were facilitated to register for NIC in collaboration with NADRA.
