Countries meet in Bangkok for Inequality Assessment training
TAGS

ESCAP organized a Regional Training on Assessing Inequalities in Civil Registration Completeness. The training took place in Bangkok from 11 to 15 September and involved participants from 12 countries as well as UNICEF and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). It provided practical knowledge to assess the completeness of birth and death registration records using secondary sources of data as well as training them to compute completeness rates of birth and death registration. This provided participants with the demographics skills necessary to initiate inequality assessments, and the opportunity to discuss on how these assessments can lead to policy outcomes.

This workshop participants gained practical knowledge to assess the completeness of birth and death registration records using secondary sources of data. In total, 40 participants representing National Statistics Offices, Civil Registries and Ministries of Health attended the training.

ESCAP is following up with participating countries to provide further support for inequality assessment analysis.
