Release of CRVS profiles for Pacific Islands
TAGS

(Newsletter: CRVS Insight February (2) 2022)

The Pacific Community (SPC), together with UNICEF have published a series of CRVS profiles for the Pacific Island region. The profiles consolidate knowledge shared by countries on the status of their CRVS systems in the recent past, including through government websites, published reports, media releases and presentations, and direct engagement between the authors of these profiles and in-country civil registration offices and health information offices.

The objective of these CRVS country profiles is to provide a living resource (updated every 2- 3 years) and quick reference point on the status and developments in CRVS systems in the region. It is envisaged that these country profiles will serve as a fundamental tool in advocating for further investment in strengthening the coverage and completeness of CRVS systems across the Pacific Island region. Country profiles are available for download here.
