Digital identity is a cross-sector platform for economic and social development: It allows a government to issue public services to target beneficiaries more efficiently, and a firm can deliver

products and services to consumers more effectively.

Building a Unique Identification System

Digital IdentityScalable Universal Identification Infrastructure


Foundational Vs Functional

• A country first develops a general-purpose identity platform, which is designed to support all the identity Use Cases expected down the line.

• It focuses on the enrollment under the framework of “enroll once and be identified for life.”

• The expectation is that, once identity becomes a supplied commodity, an entire ecosystem of applications, not even imagined initially, will emerge

• A country begins with a system that addresses the needs of a very specific application of identity (e.g., identification of vulnerable populations or healthcare recipients).

• Over time, such a system can evolve and merge with other functional programs, then migrate towards a universal identity regime in phased steps.

Foundational to Functional Functional to Foundational

• Nigeria’s NIMS is a Foundational to Functional Identity System – A top-down approach

• Other countries that have adopted this approach include India, South Africa, Malaysia, etc.

• This approach avoids multiple registration and redundancy and provides economies of scale
