Embrace digital identity

 This article examines the findings of a study on digital identity inclusion to distribute research findings at both local and global level. This distribution focuses on incorporating digital identification as a single component inside the completed study, which can be found at the Blantyre International University library (BIU).

The importance of digital identity inclusion cannot be overstated. It is unlikely that the citizens will wish to remain in their current location. Digital identity inclusion is putting in place systems that allow citizens to adopt digital identification technologies while avoiding marginalisation.

Digital identification is a critical component of social inclusion and security. Since digital identification opens up new possibilities, the demand for inclusiveness has never been greater. According to the findings of the World Economic Forum, opportunities include enabling individual migration, as well as the facilitation of finances, goods, data, and other resources.

In 2019, the Malawian government, in collaboration

 with the Reserve Bank of Malawi, began an e-payment project. Malawi and India commissioned an e-network project that was envisioned as a digital information bridge. The goal of the e-network initiative is to make international cooperation and collaboration easier. The two examples given may speak eloquently about the importance of digital identification for social inclusion, particularly among citizens.

If we look at products like e-payment, e-network, and ePassport in detail, we may appreciate the importance of digital identity to social inclusion.

But what is the connection between digital identity and this article? It hits a nerve because digital or electronic identification is a critical development endeavour in every country on the planet.

If the desire to integrate into the new world order and build a digital identity is not promoted, there is an enormous risk of being left behind. The summit of misery will be social marginalisation. As the world rapidly moves towards a digital system in practically every element of life, you will be unable to participate in economic activities, education, medication, or business without a digital identity.

Consider this scenario: Imagine receiving notification from your bank that your account has been credited with MWK142 600. This is the potential of digital identification. If it is not executed, it will result in complete social and economic marginalisation. As a result, for the sake of the public, inclusion is needed.

According to the research reviewed for this study, countries can use digital identification to successfully and efficiently manage services for their citizens, including strengthening national security. The requirement for digital identity is driving a change to a more digitalised economy in industrialised countries, according to the World Bank Development Report of 2012. Almost every country is now attempting to achieve this goal.

According to the 2014 World Bank Digital Identification Tool Kit, the development of digital identity is a domain of e-services that promises to make life easier by boosting government and corporate efficiency and promoting growth. Take Malawi, for example, and digital identity or identification. Malawi’s Nation-Wide Mass Registration Initiative, sponsored by the National Registration and Identification System (NRIS), began in 2017.

The NRIS programme was created with the goal of registering all Malawians aged 16 and above. The purpose of the effort, according to UNDP literature from 2018, was to build a consolidated register that would integrate human identity across several systems or platforms.

The effort’s purpose was to assist the National Registration Bureau in developing a sustainable registration and identity system that would aid the government in improving service delivery, governance, and economic and social inclusion.

Digital technologies are receiving a lot of attention around the world. In terms of communication, registration, identification, and online commerce, to name a few examples.

The world now is not the same as it was twenty years ago, and it will never be. Every aspect of life has been computerised. The majority of our day-to-day demands are now met through the use of digital technologies
