60 million Pakistanis are invisible for the state as unregistered citizens, which means they’re devoid of their legal right of identity. Changing this reality was a huge challenge, but also an opportunity to reduce inequalities on a huge scale. Telenor Pakistan leapfrogged outdated, paper-based processes and launched an Android mobile App, Digital Birth Registration (DBR). Today over 1.2 million children (50% of which are girls) are no longer invisible across 426 villages in Pakistan.
