D’MADD project has awarded a contract to Control Data (Thailand) Limited today to Review, Design and Develop the Systems Requirement Specification (SRS) for the Civil Registration, Vitals Statistics, and Identification (CRVSID) Management system of the Maldives.

Dr. Mohamed Kinaanath, Minister of State for Homeland Security and Technology, signed the contract on behalf of the implementing agency, the Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology. Mr. Nart Liuchareon, Managing Director, signed on behalf of Control Data (Thailand) Limited.

Control Data (Thailand) Limited (CDT) began its operations as a data backup centre before pivoting towards distributing computer mainframes to government agencies, state enterprises, and private companies as a branch of Control Data Corporation, USA. CDT is a leading technology solutions provider specializing in digital transformation and biometric solutions. With a strong focus on national ID systems, CDT has developed advanced digital identity verification platforms that follow international standards. Their work includes implementing the Thai Digital Identity (ThaID) mobile application, which allows citizens to securely verify their identity for online transactions and access government services. Additionally, CDT plays a crucial role in vital statistics registration, ensuring accurate and efficient management of birth, death, and other vital records. Their comprehensive solutions enhance the security and efficiency of identity management and public service delivery in Thailand.

The contract will primarily support the Department of National Registration (DNR) under the D’MADD project’s Component 2: “Digital Identification for Improved, Online and In-Person Service Delivery,” the Maldives' foundational identification system.

The assignment's output will be a detailed SRS document for implementing the CSRVID System, which will help streamline the Maldives' population mechanism.

The D’MADD project’s vision is to set up a robust system where data is produced at the point of service and shared across the relevant systems that are part of the CRVSID process to strengthen the Digital Identification System. The D’MADD will fund the DNR to acquire the necessary software and hardware based on the SRS.
