生物识别身份登记技术正在世界范围内普及。特别是发展中国家,最近与国际捐助组织合作建立了生物特征人口登记册。本文追溯了在加纳国家生物识别身份登记项目的启动和实施过程中,跨国政策流动所产生的时间纠缠。2008年,加纳推出了非洲首个生物识别银行系统。然而,e - zwich支付系统只是这个西非国家目前生物识别身份登记“热潮”的第一步。在加纳国家和地方机构中流通的众多生物识别身份文件中,国家加纳卡是该国最有趣的身份登记项目,无论是从其人口覆盖范围,还是从项目中相互竞争的机构、参与者和理念的复杂组合来看。以政策制定的临时性为重点,本文考察了项目的基本未来方向,其生产的时间背景及其对某些事项的想象和行动的具体可能性,以及项目实施的节奏和时间表。通过这样做,它引起了人们对一些方式的关注,这些方式是相互竞争的想法形成了非洲在技术和基础设施方面的大规模投资。
Biometric identity registration technologies are spreading throughout the world. Developing countries in particular, have recently been seen to construct biometric population registers in partnership with international donor organizations. This article traces the temporal entanglements produced by transnational policy mobilities in the inception and implementation of Ghana's national biometric identity registration project. In 2008, Ghana famously introduced the first biometric banking system in Africa. Yet, the e‐zwich payment system marked only the first step towards the current ‘craze’ for biometric identity registration in the West African country. Among the numerous biometric identity documents circulating in Ghana's national and subnational institutions, the national Ghanacard is the most interesting identity registration project in the country, both in terms of its population‐wide reach and the complex constellation of institutions, actors and ideas competing within the project. With a focus on the temporalities of policymaking, the article examines the project's fundamental future orientation, the temporal context of its production with its specific possibilities of imagining and acting upon certain matters, and the rhythms and schedules of project implementation. By doing so, it draws attention to some of the ways in which competing sets of ideas shape large‐scale investments in technology and infrastructure in Africa.
