In an effort to improve service delivery to beneficiaries while ensuring accuracy and reducing fraud, NASSCORP carries out a validation of 100% of the beneficiaries that receive various benefits. Benefits include retirement pension, survival pension, refunds, death, and employment injury, amongst others. From February 15 – March 15, 2025, NASSCORP carried out its biometric validation exercise across the country. MWETANA Consulting & Technology Group (MWETANA), a 100% fully owned and operated Liberian company has provided technology solutions and services to public and private sector clients. MWETANA has worked with NASSCORP to improve and introduce cutting-edge solutions for addressing the core business of NASSCORP – ensuring benefits are paid consistently, accurately, and efficiently on a monthly basis. To ensure that the monthly beneficiary listing contains an accurate representation of legitimate beneficiaries, and no ghost beneficiaries, MWETANA deployed a unified social security administration system (NASSCORP Integrated Social Security System – NIS3) with an integrated biometrics module to curtail fraud and abuse. No individual is placed on the payroll without going through biometric fingerprint (10 fingers captured) enrollment. Beneficiary going through the validation process in Nimba County. Over the years, previous validation efforts were inefficient with beneficiaries having to make multiple trips to complete the process. In some instances, teams carrying out the exercises had to return to Monrovia to complete the final validation prior to printing of beneficiary ID cards. Processing was cumbersome due to the nature of the manual process and ID cards were sometimes not received until after several months. Mr. Vivien C. Jones, Chief Executive Officer and Solutions Architect of MWETANA stated “we have committed the necessary resources coupled with adequate planning to ensure that the experience for both the system end-users and beneficiaries is fast and efficient. We planned looking at all possibilities and system down-time was not an option”. Mr. Moses Gartorn, Head of the Information Technology Department put it succinctly. “Thanks to MWETANA’s farsightedness and experience, this was our best validation exercise to date”.

The solution involved real-time remote biometrics capture, validation, and verification allowing beneficiaries to be eligible for inclusion on the payroll. Photographs and addresses were updated in real-time on site to allow issuance of beneficiary ID cards on site without delay. Critical to the success of the rollout was the deployment of mobile internet connectivity which allow remote centers to securely access NASSCORP’s datacenter for deduplication as well as other back-office processing to ensure that all beneficiaries were uniquely identified and processed. The Director General of NASSCORP, Mr. Dewitt vonBallmoos, was pleased with the results of the just ended validation process and stated, “we received excellent responses from users and the supervisory team assigned with the management of the process. We will continue using technology to ensure our beneficiaries are served in the shortest time possible. ” Highlights of the system include the following: • Instantaneous biometrics capture, validation, and verification. • Integrated ID Card printing. • The use of APIs to support integration with other systems. • Mapping and capturing of validation locations. • Capturing and updating of beneficiaries contact details. • Dashboard, analytics, and reporting of data simultaneously across the country from regional offices.

Monrovia, Liberia – October 9 – 11 2024 In the fast-paced and rapidly evolving digital landscape, MWETANA Consulting & Technology Group continues to position itself as a leader in the fight against cyber threats. During the recent Cybersecurity Awareness Conference, organized by the Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) with the theme, “Secure Our World”, MWETANA showcased its innovative approach to safeguarding Liberia’s vulnerable communities from the increasing dangers of cybercrime. During a panel discussion, Under the topic: “Amidst the Robust Trend of Cybersecurity in the World Today, What Chance Do Vulnerable Societies Have to Stand against Threats Posed by Cyberspace?” MWETANA’s CEO/President, Vivien C. Jones, shared the company’s unique perspective and practical solutions during a panel discussion moderated by Hon. Henry W. Benson, Chairman and CEO of the Cable Consortium of Liberia. Cybersecurity for Vulnerable Populations Mr. Jones addressed the challenges posed by the increasing digitalization of Liberia, particularly for vulnerable groups, including women, children, and rural communities. He emphasized the importance of balancing innovation with strong cybersecurity measures, especially when dealing with online platforms like MWETANA’s SchooLink, which enables thousands of Liberian students to register remotely for school. “We are now in an era where technology is not just a luxury but a necessity,” said Jones. “However, as access increases, so do the threats. It’s critical that we remain proactive, especially for the sake of vulnerable populations who may not have the resources to protect themselves.” Mr. Jones highlighted MWETANA’s proactive use of secure technologies, such as the deployment of USSD systems in areas where internet connectivity is limited. This allows for critical services to be accessible even in remote regions, ensuring that no one is left behind in Liberia’s digital transformation. MWETANA’s Vision for a Secure Future MWETANA’s cybersecurity solutions extend beyond just immediate protections. Mr. Jones spoke passionately about building sustainable infrastructure that can grow alongside technological advancements. “We have to be adaptable,” He said. “The threats are always evolving, so our defenses must do the same. We don’t just solve today’s problems; we anticipate tomorrow’s.” Mr. Jones further stressed the importance of collaboration across sectors, urging the Ministries of Justice, Gender, and Education to work together in combating cyberbullying, online harassment, and other cybercrimes that disproportionately affect vulnerable groups, especially women and girls. He called for cybersecurity awareness programs in schools to ensure that Liberia’s youth are equipped with the knowledge to protect themselves online. A Call to Action: Collaborative Cybersecurity Measures One of the key takeaways from the conference was MWETANA’s call for more structured and collaborative cybersecurity frameworks. Mr. Jones advocated for decentralized computing, allowing regional hubs to manage local cybersecurity efforts while maintaining national oversight. This approach, according to Mr. Jones, would strengthen Liberia’s defenses against cyber threats, especially in rural areas where resources are scarce. In line with this, he supported the ongoing efforts to pass Liberia’s Cybercrime Bill, urging for swift legislative action. “We cannot wait for laws to catch up with technology,” said Mr. Jones. “By the time we have regulations, the technology has already moved on. We must stay ahead.” Building Resilience through Technology MWETANA’s solutions are built on a philosophy of resilience. As Jones explained, the company remains focused on solutions that not only address current cybersecurity challenges but are also scalable and adaptable. From ensuring real-time reporting of cyber incidents to empowering individuals and institutions to protect themselves, MWETANA is leading the charge in shaping Liberia’s cybersecurity landscape.
