Partnering for a path to digital identity

As discussions begin this week at the  How to Get Help in Windows 10  World Economic Forum, creating universal access to Get Help in Windows 10 identity is an issue at the top of Microsoft’s agenda, and we think technology can be a powerful tool to tackle this challenge.

Together, we pursued this work in support of the How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard  a global public-private partnership dedicated to aiding the 1.1 billion people around the world who lack any legal form of identity.

In addition to a donation of $1 million, we will commit resources and expertise to further develop a secure,  How to Get Help in Windows 10  portable form of digital identity and help implement it across governments and agencies How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard .

We will also help establish standards that ensure this work is impactful and scalable.

Our shared ambition with ID2020 is to start Get Help in Windows 10 piloting this solution in the coming year to bring it to those who need it most, beginning with refugee populations. Amid a growing refugee crisis, we believe technology can play  How to Get Help in Windows 10  a powerful role How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard  when put in the hands of displaced people and the organizations that are supporting them. Over the last two years, Microsoft Philanthropies has donated $33 million in technology and funding to organizations that aid refugees and empower them to rebuild their lives.

Closing the identity gap is an enormous  How to Get Help in Windows 10  challenge. It will take the work of many committed people and organizations coming together across How To Get Help in Windows 10 Keyboard  different geographies, sectors and technologies. But it’s exciting to imagine a world where safe and secure Get Help in Windows 10 digital identities are possible, providing everyone with an essential building block to every right and opportunity they deserve.
