The inequality assessment project seeks to provide technical support and capacity strengthening to the Samoa Bureau of Statistics and other relevant national stakeholders to facilitate the implementation of CRVS inequality assessments using secondary data sources in Samoa.  This has involved an inception workshop to introduce the project and two technical capacity building workshops which aimed to strengthen capacity of national CRVS stakeholders in demographic analysis to undertake inequality assessments.   

The closing workshop will bring together a variety of stakeholders engaged in the CRVS system.  The workshop will be an opportunity for Samoa Bureau of Statistics (SBS) to present and share findings from the first and second national capacity building workshops which focused on inequalities in birth registration.  Stakeholders will have the opportunity to discuss the findings, ask questions, as well as discuss policy implications and next steps to ensure disparities in civil registration are addressed.
