Creating digitized, interoperable ID systems : open linking data to provide identity for all configuration options

Abstract

Inclusive legal identity systems are essential for protecting human rights, providing opportunities, and achieving sustainable development. A critical step towards inclusivity is to link a country’s national ID management system with its civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) system. This is best done when these systems are maintained on digital platforms. This media article provides information and links to resources regarding legal provisions and other challenges relating to ID systems.
