Bangladesh aims to be a “Smart” nation by 2041 as the country goes through a drastic transformation founded on digital identity and innovation. Bangladesh, a technologically backward country, has made a remarkable journey towards mass digitization. Bangladesh established the foundation for its digital transformation between 2009 to 2021. Among its advances, the initiation of Union Digital Centers (UDC) and the development of the national e-Government Master Plan and biometric national ID card in 2016 are intended to catapult development in the country, while collaborations with global tech leaders like Oracle and Samsung underline the rising significance Bangladesh places on its virtual sphere. Despite the improvements, obstacles persist, such as digital service quality, internet security, and the need for greater computer literacy, highlighting the complexities of Bangladesh’s transition.
Research published in the International Journal of Qualitative Research late last year examines Bangladesh’s transition to a Smart Bangladesh. It investigates the existing technical landscape, government initiatives, and societal integration to find barriers to this move. Key findings include Bangladesh’s paradigm shift from digital to smart, challenges in implementation, and the need for stakehold

Read MoreThe United Nations (UN) is continuing to advance its digital ID agenda in Africa by rolling out Bill Gates’s Modular Open Source Identity Platform (MOSIP) in Sierra Leone.
The plan is being rapidly advanced in Africa as globalists seek to expand digital transformation efforts.
Third-world states are being used as a testbed for the technology before the digital ID system is rolled out on a global level.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-funded MOSIP expands on the digital ID framework by incorporating additional “features” such as support for “digital cash” and proof of vaccination status, as Slay News previously reported.
However, while testing of the technology continues to spread in the third world, several Western nations are already beginning to roll out MOSIP for their citizens.

Read MoreThe West African nation of Sierra Leone is at full throttle with its digital transformation efforts, and its MOSIP-based foundational identity system is the nucleus of this project.
The Modular Open Source Identity Platform (“MOSIP”) is a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation initiative that provides a platform on which all countries can build their own digital ID system “for free.”
On Friday, an article ‘Sierra Leone putting digital ID at the centre of its digital transformation agenda’, published by Biometric Update, reported on an interview with Sierra Leone’s National Civil Registration Authority (“NCRA”) Deputy Director Moses T.F. Vibbie. The interview was conducted on the sidelines of a MOSIP Connect event last month in Addis Ababa.
Vibbie explained that the strong political will of the country’s President, Julius Maada Bio, and the dedication of the NCRA’s Director General, Mohamed Mubashir Massaquoi, are the other driving forces behind the initiative. Massaquoi is also an ambassador for ID4Africa whose foundation partners are the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar’s Omidyar Network.

TruAnon takes this a critical step further: it tabulates the depth of these interconnections and this rank/score makes you visibly trusted.
A “Credible” identity rank carries the same confidence as physical ID and transparency helps members build trust by sharing things about themselves that others can see and understand.

Read MoreThe UK’s £55.5 million push for facial recognition technology risks a profound invasion of privacy, setting a precarious precedent for surveillance overreach.
In the UK, the government has presented its plans for a large-scale increase of the use of facial recognition technology which the police want to deploy in a number of ways and across a range of locations.
According to Big Brother Watch, taxpayers in that country will foot the bill amounting to a total of £230 million (some $288 million). In return for financing this expansion of what the rights group calls Orwellian tech, citizens will be subjected to even more intense mass surveillance.
