Find your identity: making progress on digital ID verification
Around the world, civil service digital teams and service leaders are working to make public services more accessible, convenient, efficient and effective. But in most countries, they are hampered by the weakness of digital ID verification platforms. Without a common ID system used by organisations across government, it’s hard for civil servants to provide a single gateway to multiple services; to support the data-sharing that can improve services’ quality and convenience; and to ease citizens’ transition to online services.
Many governments have tried to build national digital ID systems – and to attract users among service providers and citizens – but few have cracked the problem. At this Global Government Forum webinar, civil servants and topical experts from around the world considered how governments can make progress on this crucial aspect of the digital agenda – exploring key issues such as service design, business models, adoption policies and public confidence.
