“…Some of the key information collected and compiled to issue national ID are as their identity, civil status, economic status, etc. Some country has been using single ID to connect with all other registration process whereas some have been using multiple ID depending on purposes (Cofta, 2008). Once the national ID get issued for each individual, the same ID number gets used for all other purposes such as registration at health service, academic institution service, financial transactions, government services, transportation services, personal cards such as license, passports, etc.…”

Statistical management policy and system plays significant role in development of any nation as it guides the planner to analyze the gaps, design programs and allocate budget in efficient manner. Globally, design and usage of statistical management system varies relying on country specific ability and resources availability. Government of Nepal has been managing database in individual as well as thematic manner. Policy wise, thematic database is in operation based on Statistics Act 1958 and individual database is in operation based on Birth, Death and Other Personal Related Events Registration Act 1976. Though civil registration related policies have been either updated or newly formed, sectoral statistic management related policy has not been updated since its first promulgation period (1958). With no policy supporting the consolidated statistical management system, government as well as non-government agencies has been investing millions of dollars annually to collect, compile and analyze individual related data and fulfill their respective objectives. It has forced the government services and performance to be paper-based, time-consuming and tedious thus creating dis-trust among citizen each passing day. Though, formulation of legal instrument promoted digital movement and mandated shift towards e-government modality, the process has been low. Theoretically, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) state the need of having advanced and efficient technology to be in place in current setting to improve governance, efficiency, accountability, transparency and trust. Also, the same theory state the requirement of strong willingness and motivation from the users (government, non-government and citizen) to adopt the technology based policy and system. As the integrated statistical management policy emphasizes on technology-based system or digital system, the perspectives of Technology Acceptance Model also termed as Information System Theory aid in understanding the context, conceptualizing and addressing the needs with an establishment and implementation of digital system or technology based system. This policy paper applied the Technology Acceptance Model (TAP) to examine the underlying opportunities and challenges associated with an integrated statistical management policy. With existing gaps in existing policy, system and practice alongside an overview of opportunities and challenges, this paper recommends the need of stand-alone integrated statistical management policy to consolidate sectoral as well as civil related information through single system based on recommended policy.

“…Trustworthiness can be better explained by reference to the three main actors in a trusting relationship – trustor, trustee and context (Kramer, 1999; FIDIS, 2009). In this study, trustors are the citizens (or virtual citizens since trust can also be a matter between virtual persons (Cofta, 2008)). The trustees are the credential issuers and relying parties and the context is the identification scheme.…”

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to present a qualitative study on implementation of trusted identity management systems. Identity management and assurances in developing countries generates a lot of controversy and challenges for society and this study was set out to design model for trusted identities framework.Design/methodology/approachTrusted identities framework from a societal perspective is a multi‐stakeholder issue and hence a qualitative research method was deemed appropriate given that it provides opportunities for engagement of stakeholders from different avenues. The use of a stakeholder forum offered a good opportunity for interested parties to raise their issues and get responses. The interviews were also a means of getting clarifications and also offered those not comfortable in public speaking to make their point.FindingsThe study made the following interesting findings: that trusted identities depend on institutional collaboration, user empowerment, system quality, information quality and service quality. Also the paper found out that when high privacy concern is associated with low levels of trust (distrust) and for that matter, society must strive for trusted identities ecosystems, which is the point where trust and privacy concern are at equilibrium as illustrative with the privacy concern – trust curve (PCTC).Research limitations/implicationsEven though this study makes profound revelations on trusted identities framework, the findings have not been tested empirically to prove the nature of the relationship. It will be interesting to find out whether the relationship between privacy concern and trust is a straight‐line or indeed a curve. Also it will be interesting to find out the extent of causality between institutional cooperation and trust.Practical implicationsThe study has both practical and research implications. The findings can influence national policy making with respect to identity management, by focusing more on empowerment and institutional cooperation on interoperable technologies, standards and regulation. It also serves as an addition to the existing research on information systems success.Originality/valueThe PCTC curve is a major addition to literature on trust, privacy and identity management. The study will be of value to identity management researchers and identity management policy makers in developing countries.

“…[5] It is inspired by the Social Security Number issued in the USA and China. [45] The Aadhaar is conceptualized to benefit citizens on many development parameters (Education, Health, Employment). The Government of India has made it mandatory to link Aadhaar number to various Government and Non-Government services such as banking, digital lockers, mobile phone connections, attendance chart of government employees, and vehicle purchase making it the most viable citizen identification system in India.…”
