CRVS Journalism Training: Training Journalists in the Use of CRVS Data for Impactful Storytelling (24-25 June 2025)

Background 

As data become more prevalent and accessible, good reporting on civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) – at the community, national, and global levels – requires journalists who can:

• understand and publicize the importance of functioning CRVS systems as a government responsibility;
• understand CRVS data and appreciate trends and patterns in the data; and
• communicate findings about CRVS and from CRVS data to their audience clearly, succinctly, and accurately.

The training is designed for journalists who wish to increase their capacity to use CRVS data to support and enrich their work. It focusses on improving journalists’ abilities to source, understand, and translate relevant data into rich and compelling stories and to evaluate government public health claims using CRVS data.
