About this organization
Mission
The ID2020 Alliance is a global partnership bringing together public- and private-sector organizations to improve lives through digital identity. This multisectoral approach ensures that technology development is informed by the needs of countries and individuals, and that policies and standards reflect the latest technological innovations. By coordinating funding for identity and channeling those funds towards high-impact projects, this alliance model enables diverse stakeholders - UN agencies, NGOs, governments, and enterprises - to pursue a coordinated approach and creates a pathway for efficient implementation at scale.
About
ID2020 IS ADDRESSING TWO CONVERGING CHALLENGES:MORE THAN 1 BILLION PEOPLE--INCLUDING MILLIONS OF CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND REFUGEES--HAVE NO FORM OF RECOGNIZED IDENTIFICATION. WITHOUT AN IDENTITY, INDIVIDUALS ARE INVISIBLE--UNABLE TO VOTE, ACCESS HEALTHCARE, OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT, OR RECEIVE AN EDUCATION--AND BEAR A HIGHER RISK OF TRAFFICKING. WITHOUT ACCURATE POPULATION DATA, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS STRUGGLE TO ACCURATELY DELIVER BASIC SERVICES.AND IT'S BECOMING OBVIOUS THAT EXISTING DIGITAL IDENTITY SYSTEMS DON'T PROTECT PRIVACY, AREN'T PORTABLE, AND TURN PERSONAL DATA INTO A COMMODITY. THERE IS INCREASING INTERNATIONAL FOCUS ON CLOSING THE IDENTITY GAP QUICKLY, AND BY HARNESSING THE POWER OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, ADDRESS IT DIGITALLY. BUT ADDRESSING THE FIRST CHALLENGE, WHILE IGNORING THE SECOND, MAY POSE SIGNIFICANT RISKS TO INDIVIDUALS.LAUNCHED IN 2017, THE ID2020 ALLIANCE IS A GLOBAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WHOSE MISSION IS TO ENSURE THAT DIGITAL ID IS WIDELY ACCESSIBLE AND RESPONSIBLY IMPLEMENTED. THE GROUP SHARES A COMMITMENT TO USER-CENTRIC, PRIVACY-PROTECTING AND PORTABLE DIGITAL ID--A FORM OF DIGITAL ID THAT COULD, AT SCALE, TRANSFORM HOW INDIVIDUALS PROVE THEIR IDENTITY, BOTH OFF- AND ONLINE, BY GIVING PEOPLE A DIGITAL ID THAT IS RECOGNIZED ACROSS INSTITUTIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL BORDERS AND WHICH RETURNS DATA RIGHTS TO THE INDIVIDUAL.IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, THE ID2020 ALLIANCE PARTNERS, WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES (UNHCR) ARTICULATED AN ETHICAL APPROACH TO GUIDE THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL IDENTITY GLOBALLY. THE JOINTLY-WRITTEN ID2020 ALLIANCE MANIFESTO ARTICULATES THESE SHARED PRINCIPLES.IN DEVELOPING DIRECT PROGRAMMING RELATED TO ITS MISSION, ID2020 DRIVES CHANGE THROUGH THREE ACTIVITIES:1) ID2020 HAS DEVELOPED, IN CONSULTATION WITH PARTNERS AND THE WIDER ECOSYSTEM, A SET OF TECHNICAL OUTCOMES AROUND PRIVACY, USER-CONTROL AND INTEROPERABILITY AND LAUNCHED, IN JANUARY 2019, AN ACCOMPANYING CERTIFICATION MARK. COLLECTIVELY, THESE ARE VALUABLE "MARKET SHAPING" TOOLS TO INCENTIVIZE THE DEVELOPMENT AND ADOPTION OF USER-MANAGED DIGITAL ID SYSTEMS BUILT ON OPEN STANDARDS, FACILITATING INTEROPERABILITY AND TRUST. ALTHOUGH THE CERTIFICATION MARK IS NEW, WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN TWO MAJOR MULTINATIONALS BUILD IN GREATER PRIVACY PROTECTIONS INTO THEIR TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS IN ORDER TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ID2020'S REQUIREMENTS. 2) ID2020 SUPPORTS DIGITAL IDENTITY PROJECTS THAT BOTH DIRECTLY IMPROVE LIVES AND GENERATE NEEDED EVIDENCE FOR HOW WE MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL OF DIGITAL ID FOR EVERYONE. THE FIRST TWO ID2020 SUPPORTED PILOT PROJECTS WERE LAUNCHED IN 2018--ONE FOCUSED ON HEALTHCARE AND LIVELIHOODS FOR REFUGEES IN THAILAND, ANOTHER FOCUSED ON GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY DISBURSEMENT FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN INDONESIA. THESE PROJECTS NOT ONLY PROVIDE PROOF-OF-CONCEPT BUT ALSO EXTEND CRITICAL SERVICES TO VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.IN 2018, ID2020 LAUNCHED AN ONLINE PORTAL ALLOWING ORGANIZATIONS TO SUBMIT PROJECT IDEAS AND APPLY FOR ALLIANCE SUPPORT. THE PORTAL ACCELERATED THE PACE OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT, PROVIDED A MECHANISM FOR NON-ALLIANCE PARTNERS TO PUT FORWARD PROJECT IDEAS FOR FUNDING AND FACILITATED ID2020 ALLIANCE PARTNERS PROVIDING IN-KIND RESOURCES TO BOLSTER PROPOSED PROJECTS. ADDITIONALLY, ID2020 DEVELOPED A COMMON M&E FRAMEWORK, WHICH IS NOW WOVEN INTO THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EACH ID2020 SUPPORTED PROJECT, ENSURING THAT ID2020-SUPPORTED PROGRAMS PROVIDE BOTH DIRECT BENEFITS AND FEED INTO A SHARED EVIDENCE BASE.3) ID2020 COORDINATES JOINT ADVOCACY BY THE ALLIANCE PARTNERS AROUND PRIVACY AND USER-MANAGED DIGITAL IDENTITY, LEVERAGING THE VAST REACH OF THE ALLIANCE PARTNERS. THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR ADVOCACY WORK IS THE ANNUAL ID2020 SUMMIT, WHICH WAS GENEROUSLY SPONSORED IN 2018 BY UNHCR, OICT, ITU AND THE CONSULATE GENERAL OF DENMARK IN NEW YORK. AT THE EVENT, PARTICIPANTS CANDIDLY DISCUSSED THE RISKS OF DIGITAL IDENTITY, IF NOT IMPLEMENTED THOUGHTFULLY AND CAREFULLY, AND RE-EMPHASIZED THE NEED FOR SUSTAINED, TRANSPARENT MULTI-STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT TO ENSURE THAT DIGITAL IDENTITIES ARE DESIGNED TO BE USER-MANAGED AND PRIVACY-PROTECTING.IN 2018, THE ALLIANCE ALSO GREW SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE ADDITION OF IMPACTFUL NEW PARTNERS IRESPOND, KIVA, SIMPRINTS, FHI360, IDEO.ORG, MICROSOFT AND THE UNICC AND WELCOMED KIM CAMERON AND BLYTHE MASTERS TO THE ID2020 BOARD OF DIRECTORS.WHILE ALLIANCE DEVELOPMENT IS NOT DIRECTLY LINKED TO OUR PROGRAMMATIC WORK, WE BELIEVE IT IS VITAL FOR INDIVIDUALS' IDENTITIES TO BE WIDELY RECOGNIZED, FOR ETHICAL STANDARDS TO BE BROADLY ADOPTED AND SAFEGUARDED, AND FOR TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION TO BE CAREFULLY EMBRACED. AS THE ALLIANCE CONTINUES TO GROW (ALREADY OUR PARTNERS TOUCH WELL OVER TWO BILLION PEOPLE), THERE'S BOTH A STRONG NETWORK EFFECT AND A BUILT-IN ROUTE TO SCALE.
