ID4Africa Information

Founded in 2014, ID4Africa is an NGO Movement that accompanies African nations on their journeys to develop robust and responsible identity ecosystems in the service of development and humanitarian action. The ID4Africa Movement is driven by the need to establish identity-for-all, not just as a legal right (consistent with SDG 16.9), but also as a practical necessity to enable inclusive access to services in Africa. ID4Africa believes that service-oriented identity ecosystems built on the respect of privacy and human rights are essential for the growth of digital economies. With a highly active identity community, ID4Africa has made a significant impact on the direction of identity matters across Africa. Our yearlong activities are mission-centric and deliver thought leadership, capacity building, advocacy and knowledge sharing. Each year, ID4Africa organizes an Annual General Meeting in a different African nation to bring all identity stakeholders together under one roof to give the Continent a sustainable voice for identity matters.
