The MoU was signed by Zambia's Ministry of Finance and Ethiopia's Ministry of Innovation and Technology. While the search results do not reveal who leads the SMART Zambia Institute involved in this partnership, the collaboration is expected to drive progress in both countries' digital identity landscapes.
The MoU between Zambia and Ethiopia marks a significant step towards advancing digital identity systems in Africa. By promoting home-grown digital identity solutions, the partnership contributes to the African Union's Agenda 2063 and paves the way for enhanced access to essential services and stronger governance.
