Ukraine’s digital identity app Diia has been growing despite the turmoil caused by the country’s war with Russia.
Around 70 percent of its citizens now have the digital ID, which is used for storing biometric passports, tax IDs and driver’s licenses, accessing public services and even sharing military intelligence. The app also broke a three-year-record after enrolling more than 26,000 new individual entrepreneurs during September. The Diia project, which was created in partnership with USAID, is also attracting interest in other countries which are learning from Ukraine’s experience.
