Review Your Name. 2016 was a global project that aimed to sensitize people about the consequences of not properly reviewing their names and personal information in documents. It was organized by the World Bank Group and was first observed in 2016, hence its name.
The project highlighted the importance of accurate identity documentation for accessing essential services, such as education, healthcare, and financial services. It also raised awareness about the risks associated with identity theft and fraud. A key historical development was the adoption of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, which included a target to provide legal identity for all by 2030.
