Abstract

Well-functioning civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems provide policymakers and stakeholders with accurate and timely information regarding the number of births, deaths, and specific causes of mortality within a population. Ideally, this information is used to guide the effective delivery of health and social development programs. These systems can also facilitate efforts to promote equity and justice by demonstrating the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable groups.
