SocietyEthiopia’s digital ID scheme offers refugees a way out of limbo

Ethiopia’s government and UNHCR are issuing refugees digital IDs under the Fayda system, enabling them to move freely across the country, pursue education and find work. In the Somali region, the initiative is offering hope to thousands who fled Al-Shabaab and have spent years, sometimes decades, in camps.
