The 2023 ID4D and G2Px Annual Report 

2023 was another impactful year for the World Bank’s Identification for Development and Digitalizing Government to Person Payments (G2Px) Initiatives. This Annual Report takes stock of the achievements and lessons, and the contributions of ID4D and G2Px to make digital ID and government-to-person (G2P) payments systems safer and more inclusive by putting people at the center.

While each initiative has their own area of focus, this year they collaborated closely under the umbrella of digital public infrastructure (DPI)—foundational, reusable digital systems that serve as digital rails to improve the delivery and accessibility of digital services across public and private sectors.

ID4D is on track to improve the lives of 550 million people in nearly 60 countries by 2025 since its launch. The Initiative aims to enable people to access ID that empowers them through increased access to services and economic opportunities, and greater ability to exercise their rights. G2Px currently supports 35 countries in digitalizing G2P payments through an inclusion-, efficiency-, and empowerment-centered approach that can benefit the 120+ million people already receiving G2P payments in these countries, and many more that will be included as new recipients.

Both ID4D and G2Px played a key role in the World Bank’s support to India’s G20 Presidency in 2023, which generated consensus and momentum that have made DPI a global development priority.
