UN Leads Digital ID Implementation Across Africa, with Ethiopia and Eswatini Launching Key Programs

2024-11-20  Per Henrikson

The United Nations is spearheading a comprehensive initiative to implement digital identification systems across Africa, working through multiple agencies including the UNDP, UN Innovation Network, and UNESCO to enhance digital inclusion and improve access to services. This effort follows successful partnerships in countries like Kenya, where the UNDP has already established digital identity initiative. The implementation of digital ID systems represents a key component of Africa’s digital transformation, with potential impacts across public service delivery, financial inclusion, and economic development. These programs demonstrate a coordinated approach between international organizations and national governments to establish sustainable digital infrastructure, building on successful models from countries like Kenya while adapting to local contexts and needs. https://mobileidworld.com/un-leads-digital-id-implementation-across-africa-with-ethiopia-and-eswatini-launching-key-programs/
