This Part 2 episode took a closer look at M4D policies by examining real-life country experiences with linking SIM to NIN from the perspective of the identity authority of Nigeria and Tanzania, along with the Mobile Network Operators that partnered with them. We will find out how mobile apps for enrollment and identity assertion have been leveraged successfully in Nigeria, not just to accelerate inclusion, but to give ID holders full control over the use of their ID. In addition, we heard about the open-source mobile ID management platform developed by MOSIP and explored the ways in which innovators are finding promising solutions that will enable basic phones to be used as verifiable ID credentials.
