The Myanmar National Portal, developed with the support of the World Bank, and described as single point of access to find all information relating to the country and government was also presented. Government plans for digital identification were discussed, including the pilot ‘smart card’ system which was described as having the same function as the current national ID card. MoLIP said they expected to have this system deployed and running as early as 2020. Other speakers emphasized the importance of having a very clear understanding and definition of digital ID, how the system will be built and what safeguards should be developed, tested and in place before developing a program that stores real personal data, since the consequences of a compromised system of this magnitude can cause irreparable and permanent damage to the country and millions of people. The Indian digital ID system Aadhar was highlighted as an example of what can go wrong and gave lessons for potential risks. 8
