Adama Sawadogo was invited on the Journal Afrique at TV5 Monde, an International TV network, this week.
Just before his interview, you can view an shocking report on ghost children in Senegal which points out the humanitarian catastrophe that is to unfold because of the lack of a reliable civil registration system.
Adama Sawadogo is interviewed on iCivil and introduces the advantages of this solution and the hope it presents for the African continent. Due to live TV and a poor connection, our co-founder has a few problems during the interview but we think he did really well!
Thank you TV5 Monde for attracting attention to the ghost children problem and for inviting us.
See the footage in French:
"Depuis la colonisation, le système (de l'état civil) n'a pas bougé d'une virgule. Effectivement il faut que nous arrivions à nous inventer nous-mêmes tout le support qu'il faut pour adapter le fonctionnement de l'état civil en fonction de notre réalité africaine."
