Jamaica’s Path to Universal Legal Identity in the Digital Age

17 April @ 12:00 - 13:30

On Wednesday April 17th 2024 the SlashRoots Foundation will be hosting the second forum in our Digital Democracy Series titled ‘Jamaica’s Path to Universal Legal Identity in the Digital Age’.

The GOJ is in the process of finalizing NIDS regulations in preparation to launch an expanded pilot as it moves towards national rollout. Eventually, the national ID will be opened up to actors across the Jamaican landscape for general use and integration within digital services.

In the session titled ‘Jamaica’s Path to Universal Legal Identity in the Digital Age’, we’ll reflect on the underlying problems Jamaica seeks to address with NIDS, discuss some of the difficult trade-offs that can emerge during the rollout of digital IDs, and ask how we might achieve universal access to trusted legal identification in Jamaica.

You are invited to join us as we explore issues of implementation, adoption, citizenship, privacy, and governance with local and international experts.
