(Newsletter: CRVS Insight June 2022)

On 18 May 2022, ESCAP and UNDP organized a one-day multi-sectoral consultation workshop on business process improvement for birth and death registration in Vanuatu. Stakeholders from various sectors participated in the event and engaged in lively discussions on the status-quo of the registration process for the two vital events. Participants also explored potential redesigned business improvement processes and policies to further streamline birth and death registration and reduce burdens on families. The project team plans to conduct an additional series of consultations to build on outcomes from this workshop and decide on appropriate policies.

The project uses the CRVS Systems Improvement Framework developed by Vital Strategies, ESCAP, UNECA, and Centre of Excellence for CRVS Systems. The Framework is designed to help CRVS stakeholders assess and reconfigure current business processes and resources to generate insights for relevant CRVS system improvement strategies and action plans.
