Africa's digital ID push runs into mobile internet usage gap
Original: Africa’s digital ID push runs into mobile internet usage gap
Efforts to roll out digital identity systems across Africa are being held back by a persistent gap in mobile internet usage. While identity programs are expanding, large parts of the population still lack reliable mobile internet access, raising questions about whether digital ID services can actually reach the people they are meant to serve.
Why now: Digital ID adoption is a major policy priority in Africa, and the connectivity gap directly limits who can use these systems.
