Senegal has, in partnership with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), launched a national digital identity project after wide consultations with relevant stakeholders, while the Parliament of Finland will soon study a proposed piece of legislation to set up the legal framework for its digital identity ecosystem. This development comes at a time when the Cayman Island is yet to see the launch of its own legal framework for the same purpose. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Thailand have introduced new platforms through which citizens can obtain identity credentials, and authorities in the Philippines are planning to roll out a printable version of the national biometric ID.
Senegal’s national digital ID project has begun, with the intention of having it in place for universal access to government and private sector services by 2024. https://www.biometricupdate.co....m/202206/national-di
