Struggles for Equitable Technology Governance
The report “Digital Identity and Migration” analyses how emerging digital identity systems affect migrants, refugees, and other marginalized groups. It shows that new technologies such as digital wallets can improve access to essential services but also risk reinforcing existing forms of exclusions when safeguards and inclusive design are lacking. Drawing on case studies and fieldwork in Kenya and Germany, the report highlights gaps between policy ambitions and practical realities and provides evidence based insights for designing more accessible, rights focused identity systems.
