About eID Conference,
This year the 7th edition of the eID Conference (former National eID & ePassport Conference) will be hosted in Washington, DC, USA, on the 28th-29th of September 2015.
300 government delegates together with the brightest minds in the industry, come together from all around the world, in Washington, to discuss the foundation and evolution of a global eID infrastructure, based on the digitalization of citizen ID documents.
About Identification for Development (ID4D) Integration Approach,
Recognizing the transformational potential of 21st century ID systems for the delivery of basic services to the poor, the World Bank will present at the 7th edition of the eID Conference its Identification for Development (ID4D) agenda. The goal is “making everyone count” by “providing an identity and delivering digital ID-enabled services to all.”
As a stepping stone towards that vision, the study Identification for Development (ID4D) Integration Approach has been developed. For the development of the study the World Bank Group has partnered with Accenture Development Partnerships – world leader in providing strategy advice and consulting services to the development sector on a non-profit basis.
This study helps in conceptualizing the design and implementation of ID4D programs in a highly integrated, interoperable and scalable manner that can produce huge savings for citizens, government and businesses.
