Jamii Pass ID
- Tanzania
- Hybrid of for-profit and nonprofit
The specific problem we are addressing with Jamii Pass ID is the lack of secure and portable identification for refugees and displaced persons in Kigoma, Tanzania, and globally. In Kigoma, which hosts a significant refugee population, as well as in other regions facing similar challenges worldwide, many refugees lack official identification documents due to displacement, conflict, or inadequate bureaucratic processes. This lack of identification poses significant barriers to accessing essential services such as healthcare, education, and financial assistance, exacerbating vulnerabilities and hindering opportunities for social and economic integration.
Globally, the scale of the problem is staggering. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are currently over 26 million refugees worldwide, with millions more internally displaced persons (IDPs) who may also face similar identification challenges. Additionally, the World Bank estimates that over 1.1 billion people globally lack official proof of identity, including birth certificates, national IDs, or other recognized documents. Among these populations, refugees and displaced persons are particularly vulnerable due to their forced displacement and the disruption of their lives and livelihoods.
The lack of secure identification among refugees and displaced persons has multifaceted impacts. Without official documentation, individuals face difficulties accessing essential services such as healthcare, education, and social welfare programs. They may also encounter challenges in obtaining employment, opening bank accounts, or accessing financial services, further perpetuating cycles of poverty and marginalization.
The absence of reliable identification increases the risk of exploitation, human trafficking, and other forms of abuse, as individuals are unable to assert their rights or prove their identity in legal or administrative proceedings. This vulnerability is particularly acute for women and children, who may be disproportionately affected by gender-based violence and exploitation in displacement settings.
The factors contributing to this problem are complex and interconnected, encompassing both structural and systemic challenges. These include inadequate government infrastructure and bureaucratic processes for issuing official identification documents, as well as barriers related to displacement, conflict, and migration. Additionally, there may be legal and regulatory obstacles that prevent refugees from obtaining formal identification or recognition in host countries.
Jamii Pass ID addresses these challenges by providing refugees and displaced persons with secure digital identity wallets that utilize biometric authentication and blockchain technology. By leveraging biometric data such as fingerprints or iris scans, our solution ensures the uniqueness and integrity of individuals' identities, mitigating the risk of identity fraud or theft. Furthermore, by storing identity information on a decentralized blockchain network, we enhance the security and privacy of personal data, empowering individuals to assert control over their information and protect their rights.
Jamii Pass ID is a digital identity solution designed to empower refugees and displaced persons in Kigoma, Tanzania, and beyond. It provides individuals with secure and portable identification that enables them to access essential services such as healthcare, education, and financial assistance, while safeguarding their privacy and security.
At its core, Jamii Pass ID is a digital wallet that stores biometrically authenticated identity information on a decentralized blockchain network. Here's how it works:
Registration: Refugees and displaced persons are enrolled in the Jamii Pass ID system through a registration process conducted by authorized organizations or agencies. During registration, individuals provide biometric data such as fingerprints or iris scans, which are securely stored and associated with their digital identity.
Digital Identity Wallet: Each registered individual is issued a digital identity wallet, accessible through a mobile application or a web-based platform. This wallet serves as a secure repository for their identity information, including biometric data, personal details, and any relevant documentation.
Biometric Authentication: To access their digital identity wallet and authenticate their identity, individuals undergo biometric authentication using their registered biometric data. This ensures that only authorized users can access and manage their identity information, enhancing security and preventing unauthorized access.
Blockchain Technology: Jamii Pass ID leverages blockchain technology to store and manage identity data in a decentralized and tamper-resistant manner. By distributing data across a network of nodes, blockchain ensures the integrity and immutability of identity records, reducing the risk of data manipulation or fraud.
Secure Access to Services: With their digital identity wallet, refugees and displaced persons can easily verify their identity and access essential services such as healthcare, education, and financial assistance. Service providers can verify the authenticity of individuals' identities in real-time, streamlining administrative processes and reducing the burden on both providers and beneficiaries.
Privacy and Security: Jamii Pass ID prioritizes the privacy and security of individuals' identity information. Personal data is encrypted and stored securely on the blockchain, and individuals have control over who can access their identity information. Moreover, biometric authentication adds an extra layer of security, mitigating the risk of identity theft or fraud.
Jamii Pass ID serves refugees and displaced persons in Kigoma, Tanzania, and similar communities worldwide who face challenges accessing essential services due to the lack of secure identification. These individuals have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or natural disasters, and often find themselves living in precarious situations with limited access to basic necessities.
The target population includes men, women, and children of diverse backgrounds and nationalities who have been displaced from their homes and are residing in refugee camps, informal settlements, or urban areas in Kigoma and surrounding regions. Many of these individuals lack official identification documents due to the circumstances of their displacement, making it difficult for them to access healthcare, education, employment, and other essential services.
Currently, refugees and displaced persons in Kigoma are underserved in terms of identification and access to services. Without official documentation, they face numerous barriers to obtaining healthcare, enrolling in schools, opening bank accounts, and accessing social welfare programs. This lack of identification exacerbates their vulnerability and marginalization, hindering their ability to rebuild their lives and integrate into their host communities.
Jamii Pass ID addresses the needs of this population by providing them with secure and portable digital identities that enable them to access essential services with ease. By registering with Jamii Pass ID, refugees and displaced persons receive a digital identity wallet that contains their biometrically authenticated identity information, such as fingerprints or iris scans, stored securely on a decentralized blockchain network.
With Jamii Pass ID, individuals can easily verify their identity and access healthcare services, including medical consultations, vaccinations, and maternal care. They can enroll in educational programs and access learning materials, ensuring that children and youth have the opportunity to continue their education despite displacement. Additionally, Jamii Pass ID facilitates financial inclusion by enabling individuals to open bank accounts, receive remittances, and access microfinance services, empowering them to build financial resilience and stability.
