Population Perspectives and Demographic Methods to Strengthen Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Systems
The enhancement of CRVS systems is widely recognized as crucial to the calls for inclusive development (i.e. to “leave no one behind”) as part of the 2030 agenda and evidence-based monitoring of population-based targets tied to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This Panel proposes to continue the work of its predecessor – the Panel on Innovations for Strengthening CRVS Systems (2015-2018) – and aims to:
- enhance ongoing efforts to improve CRVS systems by leveraging the technical expertise of the international demography community, and
- facilitate the adaptation and usage of the principles, methods and materials of demography to current efforts to improve civil registration processes and the production of vital statistics from incomplete/deficient civil registration systems.
