The UN Digital ID is a universal and easy to use system-wide identity for each United Nations staff, from onboarding to retirement. Having a unique identification across the UN system reduces data fragmentation and duplication, with the potential to simplify and streamline processes and transactions across all business functions between staff and organizations, and also between UN organizations themselves. As a data exchange platform, the UN Digital ID will allow staff from participating organizations to share any of their HR and other personal information with complete visibility, consent and security. The MVP was launched on 3 June 2024 with WFP and UNJSPF focusing on the first use case on pension. The other organizations will follow shortly and the aim is to scale to more organizations and use cases across the UN system.
