| Summary: | Providing universal coverage and
barrier-free access to ID systems is one of the three
pillars of the Principles on Identification for Sustainable
Development and is vital to achieving Target 16.9 of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to "provide legal
identity for all" by 2030. Large-scale registration
campaigns can help achieve this objective by making
identification accessible to large segments of the
population within a short timeframe and by often being able
to reach individuals and population groups who, for various
reasons, face difficulties in obtaining IDs in the absence
of concerted outreach efforts. Without sufficient planning,
coordination, and the adoption of appropriate policies and
measures for inclusion and building trust in the system,
however, registration drives may be unable to boost the
coverage of the system to achieve a critical mass and can
thus became a waste of (public) resources, while
exacerbating exclusion. This note aims to help practitioners
learn from past efforts, promote the adoption of good
practices, and reduce the risk of failure. |
