๐ธSummary๐ธ
Chapter 2 outlines the effects of Digital IDs from financial inclusion to streamlined government services. We emphasize the need for careful implementation, prioritizing security, privacy, and inclusivity. This section also highlights Digital ID initiatives by African governments, supported by international programs like the World Bank's ID4D initiative. We provide an overview of these initiatives in countries such as Benin, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Uganda.
Chapter 3 introduces the concept of Decentralized ID (DID) and its three identity models: centralized, federated, and self-sovereign identity (SSI). We offer examples, mechanisms, and pros and cons of each model. Additionally, we delve into SSI models, demonstrating their practical use cases and components of trust diamond: verifiable credentials (VC), holders, issuers, and verifiers of each use case.
Chapter 4 examines key players in the Digital ID landscape in Africa. We spotlight major telecom companies like MTN, Safaricom, Orange, Vodacom, and Airtel, emphasizing their roles in facilitating digital identity through mobile services. We also introduce African startup companies employing emerging technologies to create secure and inclusive digital ID solutions. International organizations and NPOs also play a vital role in bridging technology adoption and social inclusion.
In Chapter 5, we present updates from EMURGO Africa, showcasing our latest news for Q3 2023, our Reports & Newsletter, along with our portfolio companies.
