Afghanistan Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Country Strategic Plan 2016 to 2020

The Afghanistan Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Country Strategic Plan 2016-2020 was commissioned by the World Health Office in Kabul Afghanistan in response to a request from the Afghanistan Ministry of Public Health. Universal civil registration is crucial because it helps safeguard human rights and vital statistics information can be used for planning, administration and research across multiple sectors including education, labour and health. The strategic plan is based on comprehensive assessments of the country’s institutional capacity to implement CRVS activities. Experts from international and national non-governmental organizations and multi-lateral funding and technical agencies participated in the planning of the assessments and many people have contributed to the successful development of this strategic plan.
