A year after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, the world is challenged more than ever about the road ahead. Economic and social pressures are pushing governments around the world to adopt measures, such as vaccination passports or certificates, to reopen their borders and relaunch their economies. Unfortunately critical health and scientific evidence needed to craft informed policies is still lacking. Under such circumstances, governments risk adopting ineffective or even harmful policies. In this LiveCast, ID4Africa's Executive Chairman, Dr. Joseph Atick, unites frontline decision-makers from WHO, ICAO, IATA, ISO, IOM, London School of Economics and Center for Global Development for a no-holds-barred debate on the pros and cons, assumptions, range of applications, and the corresponding policy options that governments could choose from as they explore the feasibility of this controversial credential.

On March 10, 2021, ID4Africa commemorated International Women’s Day (celebrated March 8), with a very special episode dedicated to gender matters in identity systems and the challenges women and girls face in addressing these systems and their services. The objective was to explore gender gaps and inform policy on how to rectify them and manage risks of exclusion especially in a digital world in the Post-COVID era, where women appear to have been disproportionately disadvantaged. Consistent with our commitment to total inclusion, this episode advocates for policy and pragmatic measures to ensure that women and girls are not left behind.
