This policy brief was developed as part of an ESCAP-led project on ‘Using CRVS-related evidence to inform gender-sensitive policies’ or Evidence-to-Action (E2A) and is the outcome of a series of in-country consultations and a national workshop held in Fiji in September 2023 involving national stakeholders and development partners.
