Zimbabwe seeks Local IT consultant for biometric authentication API project. Zimbabwe, through its Public Service Commission (PSC), has launched a tender for the selection of a local IT consultancy firm for the development of an Application Programming Interface (API) for the government’s biometric authentication program.

TechZim reports that the idea of developing the biometric authentication API is to increase the flexibility of the country’s civil service biometric registry which was put in place in 2018 to check the phenomenon of double-salaried and ghost workers. The API is expected to enhance the functionality of this biometric registry system in the country.
