What India’s Supreme Court Ruling on Aadhaar Means for the Future

Submitted by rruggia on Thu, 10/11/2018 - 13:59

Center For Global Development (26.09.2018)  India’s biometric ID, Aadhaar, is here to stay. This is the verdict of India’s Supreme Court which delivered a historic judgement today on a slew of petitions challenging the growing use of Aadhaar in the country. The apex court agreed that government can mandate its use to distribute government subsidies and benefits. It can also be required to be linked to the PAN, India’s tax ID number—an issue that has been hotly contested. However, Aadhaar will not be mandatory for opening bank accounts or getting mobile connections.

Blockchain : Comment préserver l’identité des populations fragiles ?

Submitted by massetti on Fri, 09/14/2018 - 15:58

The Forum Network OECD (04.09.2018) L’absence de preuves d’identité bloque l’accès aux services les plus basiques et empêche l’émancipation de millions d’individus. L’utilisation de la blockchain, en offrant un cadre de confiance pour des informations administratives, apporte des éléments de réponse à ces enjeux. Si la révolution numérique peut être perçue comme un risque, notamment pour toute une frange de la population exclue de ces technologies, elle peut donc également se révéler être un formidable vecteur d’inclusion.

Submitted by massetti on Fri, 09/14/2018 - 15:01

socialprotection.org (10.09.2018) Blockchain technology has also started to slowly materialise into the fields of humanitarian aid, development and even social protection. The intricacies behind the exact technological nature of how blockchains work would probably require an entire blog or maybe a series of blogs to fully explain.

Submitted by massetti on Mon, 06/04/2018 - 16:46

ILO (15.06.2018) Social protection systems around the world face challenges to provide full and effective coverage for workers in all forms of employment, including those in “new” forms of employment. This paper provides a review of innovative approaches that countries have undertaken to close coverage and adequacy gaps, and to adapt social protection systems to changing circumstances and demands through a combination of contributory and non-contributory mechanisms.

No identity crisis for social protection programmes that link with ID agencies

Submitted by massetti on Wed, 04/11/2018 - 11:29

Development Pathways (24.10.2017) Biometric technology presents a huge opportunity to social protection programmes, in particular the potential to ensure that only eligible programme beneficiaries receive payments. But to fully realise the benefits of biometrics, social protection programmes need to work closely with national identity agencies who are better placed to provide individuals with a unique identity record and can match people with those records, writes Richard Chirchir.

International Social Security Review (Dec 2016)  "there are significant trends occurring across three major pillars of public administration, namely social investment (policy), nudge (process) and predictive analytics (technology). These trends, when considered together, provide the inspiration for a new approach within social security administration, the digital nudge, for improved social outcomes."
