BUILDING STATELESSNESS-SENSITIVE ID SYSTEMS R E C O M M E N DAT I O N S AC T I O N I T E M S Monitor results continuously and adapt systems for inclusion. • • 15 Monitor outcomes. Set up M&E to track enrollment/use/ denial rates for at-risk groups including stateless people; enable feedback loops with CSOs/communities. Evidence-based adjustments. Course-correct design choices (e.g., nationality field handling, credential neutrality) based on evidence. Audience and Use This guidance note is intended for World Bank Task Team Leaders (TTLs) and other ID practitioners seeking to operationalize inclusion commitments under SDG 16.9 and the Principles on Identification for Sustainable Development. It offers statelessness-related key considerations that ID practitioners should take into account when designing and implementing an ID project. Vision By embedding statelessness sensitivity into ID system planning, design, and implementation, countries can potentially prevent and reduce statelessness and improve service delivery to all—without introducing or heightening risks for marginalized groups—in line with the ‘leave no one behind’ principle.
