In partnership with the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and Vital Strategies, the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) will host the 2026 Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Research Forum from 30 March to 1 April 2026.
Building on the success of the 2023 CRVS Research Forum, which was attended by 390 virtual participants from 62 countries and territories, the 2026 CRVS Research Forum will be held as a hybrid event with both online and in-person attendance at ESCAP headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Forum will showcase current CRVS research from academics and practitioners from the region, with papers covering a wide range of topics. It will also provide opportunities for professional networking, information exchange, and capacity building for participants and presenters. The final programme is under development.
Supported by the Bloomberg Philanthropies Data for Health Initiative, the deadline to register is 6 March 2026.
