One-day inception workshop will be organized by the National Statistics Bureau of Bhutan (NSB) in consultation with the national consultant and the ESCAP Statistics Division. The workshop will invite all relevant national stakeholders and partner agencies. The NSB will take lead in providing a briefing on the concept of the project, clarifying roles and responsibilities of all relevant stakeholders, as well as the modus operandi. 

The NSB has expressed interest in leading the implementation of a quantitative CRVS inequality assessment using secondary data. The inequality assessment in Bhutan will aim to examine civil registration completeness for births and deaths, including causes of death.
