Many digital ID policy papers recommend that digital IDs be inclusive and call for governments to eliminate exclusion. But how do digital ID systems come to be inclusive or exclusive? Is it in the design of the projects or are there structural issues that contribute to exclusion? CIPIT will be having a public talk on inclusion  and exclusion of National IDs. Come join Teki Akuetteh-Falconer from African Digital Rights Hub, as she discusses on the ground experiences on inclusion and exclusion from three West African countries. She will be joined by Yussuf Bashir from Haki na Sheria Initiative Kenya and, Dorothy Mukasa from Unwanted Witness who will share nuanced experiences on how digital ID projects can include or exclude sections of society.
