Comprehensive and complete CRVS systems crucial to Africa’s development, says ECA’s Chinganya

Civil registration and vital statistics systems are central to any country’s development process hence the need for every African country to maintain a comprehensive and complete CRVS system. This was said by Oliver Chinganya, Director of the Africa Statistics Centre (ACS) at the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) at the second consultative meeting on the CRVS assessment for Ethiopia held in Addis Ababa. The main objective of the consultations is to identify ways to develop Ethiopia’s roadmap towards the development of a holistic approach to registration of all vital events, production of vital statistics, the establishment and maintenance of population registers and identity management apparatus from birth to death. Recommendations on how to resolve the weaknesses and gaps identified will be articulated at the end.
