updates on ID4Africa happenings and events.

Founded in 2014, ID4Africa is a Pan-African Movement that assists African nations in building the strategic capacity needed for robust and responsible identity ecosystems in the service of development, digital transformation, and humanitarian action. Since its inception, ID4Africa has advocated identity-for-all, not just as a right (consistent with SDG 16.9) but also as a practical necessity for access to services. The Movement believes inclusive identity schemes built on the respect of privacy and human rights are pivotal for driving economic growth and facilitating the digital transformation of government and society. ID4Africa has established itself as a thought leader in the field of digital identity, playing a central role in shaping the global discourse on this vital issue.
