(Newsletter: CRVS Insight August 2022)

The Civil Registration Vital Statistics (CRVS) First National Capacity Building Workshop for Assessing Inequalities in Registration will be conducted in Vangvieng, Lao PDR on 17-19 August 2022. The workshop participants and organizers will participate in-person, and some of invited organization will join on-line.

Lao PDR has come onboard as one of the countries in the region to receive support to undertake the CRVS inequality assessment. The project seeks to provide technical support and capacity strengthening to the Lao Statistics Bureau and other relevant national stakeholders to facilitate the implementation of CRVS inequality assessments using secondary data sources in Lao PDR. This will involve building capacity for demographic analysis to undertake inequality assessments in the future as well as for initiating dialogue with policy-makers to ensure the results are used for policy formulation.
