In this fourth InDiCo-Global webinar, we explore two on-the-ground initiatives from Africa and Latin America that engage with the EU’s approach to digital identity and digital government as a point of reference for local action.
Debora Comparin will share her work on developing security guidelines for digital identity wallets in Africa, bridging regulatory gaps between the EU’s eIDAS framework and emerging continental trust frameworks. The aim: to build scalable, secure, and locally adaptable models that enable trusted cross-border digital identity solutions.
Julio Herrera, representing Red Ciudadana in Guatemala, will present efforts to strengthen digital government services through the adoption of European ICT standards — improving transparency, accessibility, and interoperability in public administration.
InDiCo-Global, a Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action, builds bridges between technical communities and policy makers globally, on topics relating to Digital policies and ICT standardisation.
Powered by a strong consortium – ETSI, CEN, CENELEC, Trust-IT, Martel Innovate and COMMpla, InDiCo-Global aims to develop mutual understanding of policy, regulatory and technical approaches to ICT/digital technologies, enhance cooperation on ICT standards and alignment in policies and regulations, leading to a wider use of common standards for the benefit of European industry.
