In 2017, Laxton was tasked with creating a National Registration and Identification System (NRIS). To accomplish this, Laxton utilised customised Identity Technology to register citizens both in urban and rural areas, which resulted in a centralised Citizen’s Registry. Thanks to the NRIS, Malawians were now able to access crucial services like government aid, healthcare, and banking, many for the first time. This program paved the way for them to fully participate in their country’s economic, social, and political spheres.
