context_page_description: Created in 2007, the Universal Civil Identity Program in the Americas is the area of the Organization of American States that is devoted to civil identity. It belongs to the Department for Effective Public Management within the Secretariat for Political Affairs.
  PUICA supports the member states of the OAS in their efforts to eradicate under-registration, in order to ensure recognition of the right to civil identity for all persons in the region.
context_section_description: Using technical equipment acquired, along with staff training, the registry’s staff itself has been digitizing millions of records, and this will facilitate linking the registry with other public institutions such as hospitals and will make the project sustainable. The Civil Registry will be provided with support to carry out mobile registration and publicity campaigns in indigenous communities.
  The project in Paraguay has been funded by the Canadian International Development Agency.
