Themes

Informed by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, MOSIP Create’s themes invite solutions that address the on-ground needs of countries establishing their national digital infrastructures. We hope to find ready-for-adoption, robust projects that hold the key to unlocking wide-ranging impacts on the ground, in the lives of diverse communities around the world.

• Digital ID for Service Access: Improve the delivery of social services or benefits to citizens via digital identity and/or its solutions. From government scholarships to disaster and emergency relief, identity verification assures the timely delivery of services to the intended beneficiary. MOSIP’s foundational and scalable ID verification and authentication systems eliminate the challenges around multiple siloed systems. Your solution could be a part of enabling the timely generation of registries, ensuring support and relief to residents who need it.\

• eKYC for Inclusive Identity verification: Develop or integrate secure eKYC solutions for global identity infrastructure. Smooth and secure Know Your Customer solutions are integral for today’s businesses. Given that most countries in the world today mandate eKYC and legally-verifiable identity, integrating your solution with eSignet ensures it will be compatible with local laws and regulations in MOSIP-adopting nations.\

• Financial Inclusion through Digital Identity: Leverage digital identity to expand universal access to financial services. Digital banking has brought the world to the cusp of bringing banks into individuals’ homes. MOSIP’s eSignet, Authentication API, and Inji stack have the potential to bring MOSIP-adopting countries closer to a place where all residents, without exception, have access to financial services, including banking, loans, and insurance. MOSIP envisions inclusive financial solutions, with both assisted and unassisted modes, with inclusion as a priority. Integrate with MOSIP to help make this dream a reality.\

• Credential Facilitation for Empowerment: Innovate solutions linked to digital identity and/or MOSIP’s credentialing solutions. It is still a very real challenge in the world today that several residents in a country are excluded from the formal economy as a result of reliance on paper-based credentials that cannot be digitally verified. Integrated compliant wallets, for e.g. MOSIP’s Inji stack, based on W3C verifiable credentials, are designed to close this gap, allowing the digitisation, storage, and easy sharing of digitally-verifiable credentials. Your solution could empower individuals to join and participate in the growing digital economy.
