Previous ministerial declarations on improving civil registration and vital statistics in Africa
In modern society, the systematic recording of vital events and a fully functioning civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) system is essential for good governance and for the planning of development initiatives. It follows that sound governance and planning come with a demand for fresh data. In that regard, a huge data gap can be observed in the national statistical systems of most African countries. As a result, the competent planning and monitoring of multisector development endeavors can be compromised. Policy guidance from the Conference of African Ministers and technical support from the Africa Program for Accelerated Improvement of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (APAI-CRVS) and the regional Core Group, coupled with political commitment at national level have resulted in several achievements relating to CRVS on the continent. There has been significant evidence of a heightened awareness of the importance of CRVS for good governance, human rights and public policy. The conferences were held under different themes and have passed a number of resolutions and recommendations critical to strengthening and accelerating regional CRVS improvement initiatives.
