Causes of Displacement

War and Conflict

Persecution

Climate

Economics

Persistent Identity Barriers

Invisibility
Crisis

Without ID, Displaced Persons Have:

  • No Access
  • No Rights
  • No Protection

Leaving millions invisible and highly vulnerable.

Costs of Displacement

  • Loss of Workers, Consumers, Entrepreneurs in Origin Countries
  • Humanitarian Aid and Infrastructure Requirements in Host Countries
  • Public Health and Education Systems Struggle

Many displaced people have valuable skills and qualifications, but face challenges proving their credentials to employers and financial institutions in host countries. Bridging this recognition gap could unlock $700 billion in economic potential worldwide.

They can range from subsistence farmers with low levels of education to highly skilled farmers and other professionals, such as former business owners and former high-level government officials. Because they are new in the host country and bring with them different skills and views, they are quick to see opportunities and grow faster.
