Mission
The mission is to facilitate seamless collaboration, share knowledge, and strengthen the digital identity landscape across Africa, ultimately fostering progress and innovation in the realm of education and research.
At its core, eduID.africa is a platform for nurturing collaborative education identity services among the regional research and education networks (RRENs), their National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), and service providers across the African continent.
It is committed to enabling progress through a comprehensive capacity-building program that equips NRENs in individual countries to establish their identity federations and operating a 'Catchall Federation' to provide vital support to countries that have not yet instituted their identity federations.
