The ID4D Initiative

ID4D brings global knowledge and expertise across sectors to help countries realize the transformational potential of digital identification systems. 

It operates across the World Bank Group with global practices and units working on digital development, social protection, health, financial inclusion, governance, gender, and legal issues.

The goal of the ID4D is for all people to be able to access services and exercise their rights, enabled by digital identification. This will be achieved by supporting countries to build inclusive and trusted identification systems, including civil registration, using multi-sectoral approaches and appropriately leveraging innovative digital and other solutions.

ID4D directly supports countries to achieve Sustainable Development Target 16.9: “By 2030, provide legal identity for all, including birth registration,” and in making progress towards dozens of other targets such as poverty elimination, reduced inequalities, gender equality and women’s empowerment, safe and orderly migration, universal health coverage, and financial inclusion, among others.
