The Commons Project

The Commons Project (TCP), officially The Commons Project Foundation, is a global non-profit organization based in Geneva, Switzerland.

History

The Commons Project was established in 2019 with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. Its first project was CommonHealth.[1]

COVID-19

Following the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Commons Project developed the CommonPass, a vaccine passport.

JP Pollack contributed to the development of the SMART Health Card system on behalf of The Commons Project.[2] The Commons Project also serves as a member of the steering committee for the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI).[3]

Further, TCP runs the CommonTrust Network, collaborating with the VCI, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and “a broad, global coalition of public and private partners” to integrate the SMART Health Card system worldwide.[4][5]
