In this episode of The Friendly Troll Podcast, host Josephine Kaaniru is joined by Irene Makau to explore the governance of Digital ID systems and government digital services in Zambia. Drawing from CIPIT’s latest publication “Report on the Study of Government Digital Services and Digital ID in Kenya and Zambia” they discuss the legal and institutional frameworks that underpin these systems, identify key implementation gaps, and reflect on what’s needed to promote rights-respecting governance with a focus on Zambia.
