Could digital IDs help overcome identification challenges in humanitarian contexts?
Summary:
Over 1 billion people around the world do not have official ID. A lack of ID can put people in vulnerable situations and make them invisible to the system, presenting a challenge if and when they need humanitarian assistance.
Dignified Identities in Cash Assistance (DIGID) is a consortium of NGOs exploring the opportunities and risks presented by digital IDs to overcome this identification challenge.
Could digital IDs enhance the dignity of those being served by humanitarian cash assistance?
Summary:
Cash and voucher distribution is an increasingly common method for humanitarians to provide assistance to vulnerable people or in response to crises. However, organisations carrying out the distribution with Financial Service Providers (FSP) may face challenges with identification particularly when it is required to fulfil regulatory requirements such as “Know Your Customer” or KYC. Unfortunately, many of the people most in need of such assistance are precisely those who have no official ID.
Dignified Identities in Cash Assistance (DIGID) is a consortium of NGOs exploring the opportunities and risks presented by digital IDs in cash and voucher assistance programmes.
Could people on the move benefit from digital IDs?
Summary:
In many irregular migration scenarios, people on the move do not have identity documents (these could have been left behind, lost, stolen, destroyed, or never issued to begin with). While many may wish or need to identify themselves to multiple humanitarian organisations along their journey, some may not wish to be identified at all, or only partially.

Dignified Identities in Cash Assistance – Kenya pilot (trailer)
Summary:
Kenya is one of several places around the world where many people do not have any official form of identification. The Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) estimates that 25 percent of the people they seek to help have no official ID. This makes it hard for people in this situation to access certain services where identification is required. KRCS recognises these challenges and is investigating innovative solutions to overcome them. One initiative is through the Dignified Identities in Cash Assistance (DIGID) project working with the consortium comprised of the IFRC, Norwegian Red Cross, Norwegian Refugee Council, Norwegian Church Aid, and Save the Children Norway. In May 2021, KRCS and IFRC with the support of the DIGID consortium piloted the use of digital ID for cash assistance in Mathare and Turkana as part of its response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
