Abstract:

In January 2021, the United Nations Pension Fund (UNJSPF) deployed a solution based on facial recognition and blockchain to reinvent a legacy process with a global audience.

The CIO of the UNJSPF will present how the organization formulated the problem to be addressed, developed the approach for its resolution, achieved the intended outcome, and provided relevant security assurance.

The solution was selected as a finalist in Gartner’s Eye on Innovation Awards for Government 2020. It was selected as it demonstrated how emerging technology can be combined to allow the service to be delivered in a completely different way, improving integrity and efficiency.

Before joining the UNJSPF, Mr. Dell’Accio served as Chief of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Audit in the Office of Internal Oversight Services, and Information Security Officer in the ICT Service Division of the United Nations Secretariat.
