From ideas to impact: Strengthening research capacity for universal civil registration and accurate population data
TAGS

The CRVS Applied Research Training (CART) initiative, launched in March 2024, aims to enhance Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) systems by supporting applied research on effective strategies, interventions, and tools. This includes designing projects to tackle practical issues, using strong research methodologies, and ensuring that the findings are disseminated and applied in real-world contexts.

Participants in this year-long program engages online training, attend virtual research skills meetings, and work closely with mentors and supervisors to develop and refine their research projects. Cohort 1 of the CART initiative is made up of 25 dedicated and inspirational Asian and African civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) practitioners. With their proposals in hand, the first cohort of CART participants met face-to-face in Dubai in August 2024 to share their work, attend training seminars, and engage in intensive peer-to-peer learning.
