Under the theme “Digital Identity: From DPI to Digital Public Ecosystems,” the Somali delegation highlighted the country’s remarkable progress in building an inclusive and trusted national identity system:

✅ 1.4M+ citizens registered (as of March 2026)
✅ 70 registration centres nationwide

✅ 100+ integrated services

The delegation also outlined Somalia’s bold roadmap ahead: registering 15 million citizens by 2029 — scaling from pilot to nationwide transformation.

The National ID is becoming a cornerstone of Somalia’s digital transformation, inclusion, and service delivery. 🇸🇴
