Each year, ID4Africa seeks out representatives from identity authorities in Africa to become Ambassadors of the Movement to play a key role in its grassroots effort of building identity awareness throughout Africa.
The ID4Africa Ambassadors are senior-level government officials – appointed one per country – who act as a liaison between their country’s institutions and the Movement. Since the establishment of the program in 2016, the Ambassadors have ensured that their countries’ priorities and presence are well represented in all ID4Africa activities.
The ID4Africa Ambassadors Class of 2022 has representation from 48 African countries, each fulfilling the quota of one Ambassador and one Deputy per country. We are pleased to share that this year’s Class includes a total of 85 civil servants with an increase from 24% (2021) to 33% female Ambassadors.
