Dear colleagues,
In this latest roundup of SIA activity, I am delighted to announce the launch of an exciting new initiative that, I believe, will have a profound and positive impact on the design and implementation of national identity programs. We also have a wealth of new content available. I would urge you all to take a look.
Assurer un voyage sans aléas, renforcer la sécurité, gérer les droits de l’homme et les accords internationaux et empêcher l’entrée de criminels sont autant d’aspects essentiels de toute stratégie moderne.
Efficient and reliable patient identify management will be an essential element in making the benefits of integrated care a reality.
This was the core message at the launch of a joint new publication from COCIR and the SIA entitled ‘Identity in Healthcare’ at the HIMSS Europe and Health 2.0 conference in Barcelona.
The SIA’s pioneering new Open Source API will bring interoperability among civil registration and civil identification registries – independent of technology, solution architecture or vendor.
Citizens around the world depend on government issued identities to prove they are who they say they are and to undertake commonplace transactions – from opening bank accounts or registering for school, to obtaining formal employment or receiving social transfers.
It is crucial, therefore, that governments are able to ensure citizens are the same person across all these various registries and issuing agencies, and that an individual’s data – or attributes – are up-to-date. Doing so protects the individual against the risk of identity theft and state agencies against fraud.
To achieve this objective these different registries need to ‘talk’ to one another.
It is this imperative that is currently driving governments around the globe to rollout national ID ecosystems in which multiple identity registries and systems, serving different functions, operate together as a cohesive whole.
Efficient and reliable patient identify management will be an essential element in making the benefits of integrated care a reality. This was the core message at the launch of a joint new publication from COCIR and the SIA entitled ‘Identity in Healthcare’ at the HIMSS Europe and Health 2.0 conference in Barcelona. The publication brings much-needed clarity and key recommendations to the ID challenge facing the health sector.

While the concept of identity (ID) remains unchanged, the rapid evolution of digital technology has dramatically extended both its application and form factor.
As Digital ID becomes a day-to-day reality for ever greater numbers of public stakeholders and citizens across the globe, our goal is to continue to accelerate the adoption of secure access and authentication solutions that will continue to drive the digital ID agenda forward.
26th-28th April 2017, Windhoek, Namibia
The 3rd Government Forum on Electronic Identity in Africa will be hosted by the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration (MHAI) of the Government of Namibia on 26-28 April, 2017 in Windhoek, Namibia.
This year’s theme is PATHWAYS TO DIGITAL IDENTITY
This theme recognizes that while the end goal of digital identity for all may be the same, the path for each country to arrive there is different. Country-specific factors such as context, existing identity assets, development priorities, and capacity must be taken into consideration in crafting a national strategy for the development of the digital identity ecosystem for any given country.
How to do this will be part of the overall agenda of the 3rd ID4Africa Annual Meeting 2017.Site Web : www.id4africa.com/

As the appetite for developing identity-based e-government services grows, Jacques van Zijp, Board Member from Secure Identity Alliance discusses the interoperability challenges now at the heart of cross-border ID discussions.
Identity is going digital, and moving to the mobile. For most, this is a positive step. Identity is proliferating at an incredible rate. From the low level ‘sign-in through Facebook’ variants to high security access to, and usage of, a new range of central government and smart city services, the ability to prove who we say we are (when we’re mobile) is a strategic imperative. And It’s not just about convenience or security.
