The Webinar #2 “Digital Identity and Public Services for the Population: Challenges and Opportunities in the PALOP Countries” aims to foster a dialogue between PALOP representatives and experts on the role of digital identity as a fundamental infrastructure enabling population access to digital public services.

As part of the initiative "Digital Governance Dialogues - Capacity Development and Cooperation in Digital Governance Capacities in the PALOP", the session will also address opportunities and challenges in implementing digital identity systems that enhance access, efficiency, and integration across public services, while respecting rights such as privacy and data protection and ensuring security.
