Vendor directory

This directory lists suppliers and programmes only where a cited record names them. Each row gives the country, the system, the type of record and its date. South Africa's ABIS rows come from Parliament's Home Affairs committee records 1,2. The Ghana row comes from a Thales company statement 5. Ethiopia rows come from an embassy page, an airline company statement and dated reports of an IOM launch 7,910. A row is not a finding that a company did anything beyond what its record says.
