As part of the reporting structure of the Regional Action Framework on Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) in Asia and the Pacific, by the end of 2015, members and associate members are required to submit a baseline report to the ESCAP Secretariat through their designated national focal point. The present document is intended to facilitate the compilation of national data and inputs for this baseline report. Countries have been invited to complete the questionnaire in consultation with their respective national CRVS counterparts, or, in case one exists, through their national coordination mechanism.
To support countries in this effort, Guidelines for setting and monitoring the goals and targets of the Regional Action Framework on CRVS in Asia and the Pacific are also available.
