UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION(UID) PROJECT FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ETHIOPIA

Assigning Unique Identification(UID) Number or Social Security Number(SSN) to an individual has already been implemented in many countries since long back. The concept of identifying an individual using a ID has been re volutionary and has been a successful project in all the areas concerning to the benefits of the individual as well as government of a country. In this paper we concentrated on Ethiopia, its back ground, socio – economical standards and the use of Unique Identification Number and its impact in the present situations.Keeping in view thepresent scenario's in Ethiopia, the project can be a beneficiary and away out even for the government to know exactly the people who are below the poverty line and can extent its subsidies only to the genuine citizens. So far there is no centralized database for the country where they can analyse, plan and execute the policies made by the government. We proposed assigning a UID to the individuals of Ethiopia which can solve v arious issues and also benefit the country to be placed as an outstanding icon of the continent. We pointed few areas as sample where this UID can he handy for the government. UID of an individual will be a unique number which will be stored in the central ized database with which the government comes to an understanding of the citizens in the country
