Digital identity systems must be safe and inclusive for all

DECISIONS ABOUT OUR IDENTITY SHOULD NOT BE MADE WITHOUT US

We are a community of Civil Society Organizations and researchers from across the globe advocating to diminish the negative impacts of Digital Identity on individuals and communities

In the past decade, there has been a rise in state issued digital ID and use of digital ID for access to government and private services, however, many of these digital ID programs take a top-down approach without proper engagement with the local communities. 

We are a powerful coalition that moves together, providing solidarity and support, and engaging in collective action on digital identity and human rights.

+60 members in 5 Regions

Together we aim to:

Develop

A consistent platform for research, knowledge sharing and learning about Digital Identity and human rights.

Provide

An accessible source of information on country-level and international developments as well as technical knowledge.

Create

Opportunities for collaboration and dialogue with key stakeholders at various levels.

Facilitate

A sustained sense of momentum behind collective advocacy and amplify the work of coalition members.
