Technical Guidance for Strengthening the Vital Statistics Production Process

This Technical Guidance for Strengthening the Vital Statistics Production Process: Implementing the Vital Statistics Business Process Model for the production and dissemination of vital statistics from civil registration, hereafter referred to as the “Technical Guidance”, provides a step-by-step guide to improve or build a vital statistics system from the data collected in the civil registration system. The Technical Guidance uses a Vital Statistics Business Process Model (VSBPM), which is adapted from the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) version 5.1 published by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) in January 2019 (Annex 1). It has been developed as an addendum to the CRVS Systems Improvement Framework, keeping in mind that some of the key processes in the initial phases of the VSBPM will fall well within the domain of civil registration.

This Technical Guidance can also be applied independently and selectively of the CRVS Systems Improvement Framework, if a country decides to improve the existing vital statistics system or build one without redesigning the civil registration system.
