About the Mission Billion Challenge

On May 27th, the World Bank Group launched the second Mission Billion Challenge powered by MIT Solve, in partnership with the Identification for Development (ID4D) Initiative and the West Africa Unique Identification for Regional Integration and Inclusion (WURI) program.

The Mission Billion Challenge offers $150,000 in cash prizes for solutions that make identification systems and social protection programs more accessible and responsive to the needs of vulnerable groups, such as informal workers, particularly at a time when countries seek to leverage digital technologies and platforms to deliver services to persons affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
