Asia-Pacific Regional Workshop on Implementing Guidance on Inclusive CRVS Systems with a Focus on Forced Displacement, Statelessness and Children on the Move
TAGS

The workshop, held on 18 - 21 March 2024 in Bangkok, was a joint initiative between the United Nations ESCAP, the Expert Group on Refugee, IDP and Statelessness Statistics (EGRISS), International Data Alliance for Children on the Move (IDAC), UNICEF and UNHCR. The aim of the workshop was to strengthen the capacity of Member States to achieve inclusive CRVS systems, and to produce and use statistics on statelessness, forced displacement, and children on the move. 55 participants from civil registration authorities and national statistics offices and relevant line ministries attended the workshop. 

To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the core commitment of Leaving No One Behind (LNOB), the rights and wellbeing of forcibly displaced and stateless people, who are among the most vulnerable, must be ensured. Through the Global Compact on Refugees and Global Compact on Migration, UN Member States agreed to make concerted efforts to improve the lives of refugees and migrants through more inclusive and better targeted national policies and programmes. To inform such efforts, reliable data and evidence, especially those produced through national statistical systems, on these population groups are critical. Within that, Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Systems are often the best source of data for monitoring development indicators.
