Botswana Becomes First Southern African Country To Introduce Electronic Passport
The government of Botswana has awarded a contract to Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) for the manufacture and delivery of 150,000 electronic passports (e-passports). G&D will also supply the data acquisition and personalization systems for the travel documents, drawing on its successful implementation of several past projects with similar scope across the globe, for instance in Macedonia.
