Ethiopia issues digital IDs to refugees in Somali region
Ethiopia is providing digital IDs to refugees in a mass scheme. Thousands of refugees in the Somali region have received the IDs, which allow them to move freely, access education, and get jobs. This information comes from a single independent report, and the exact number of recipients and the full extent of the scheme's implementation have not been independently confirmed.
Why it matters
This program addresses the legal limbo that restricts refugees' rights and opportunities by providing a verifiable identity that grants access to essential services.
