Tanzania Blockchain Babies, Mastercard Humanitarian Aid
In Tanzania, a pilot program assigned blockchain identities to pregnant women and their unborn children to track prenatal care compliance. This project, involving Mastercard and the Bill Gates-backed Better Than Cash Alliance, serves as a case study for digital identity. The program demonstrates how humanitarian aid is used to test surveillance technologies on vulnerable populations.
