Use-case prioritization framework
No full textThere is no universal standard for prioritizing digital identity use cases for national or subnational governments. At present, digital identity frameworks are being recognized by industry and are increasingly being used in the public and private sectors, but the frameworks mainly cover national digital identity systems. The Green Economy Innovations and Technologies Section of the Technology, Climate Change and Natural Resources Management Division of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), in close collaboration with the ECA Digital Centre of Excellence on Digital Identity, Trade, and Economy, is supporting the Governor’s Office in the Nigerian State of Kaduna in identifying, optimizing, and implementing digital identity use cases. To carry out this consultation, ECA engaged two consultants. The consultants had to identify high-value digital identity use cases that would have a strong impact on the development plans of the State of Kaduna and could be directly linked to the national development plans of the federal Government. Through a stocktaking exercise of existing sets of potential use cases, the two consultants were required to work in conjunction with ECA in developing a use-case prioritization framework to assist the Kaduna State government in making decisions on which use cases to implement immediately. In the first draft of the present report, the consultants outlined their proposal for a use-case prioritization framework. The proposal was in line with the terms of reference. The draft was transmitted to ECA and the Kaduna State government teams. The present final draft incorporates all the comments received on the draft report and is deliverable under the contract. The consultants acknowledge the invaluable input of ECA and the Kaduna State government teams
