Workshop on the midterm reporting of the Asia-Pacific Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Decade, 2015-2024
At the beginning of the Decade, in 2015, all countries in Asia and the Pacific were invited to submit baseline reports and articulate goals corresponding with the Regional Action Framework. Thirty-nine countries submitted baseline reports analyzing the status of their CRVS systems, setting targets, highlighting progress made so far, as well as emphasizing areas necessitating support and resources to be achieved.
To monitor progress in implementing the Regional Action Framework, a midterm review of the Decade will be held during the 2019 calendar year. The midterm review will form the basis for deliberations at the second Ministerial Conference to be held during the third quarter of 2020. To facilitate national reporting, ESCAP will send a questionnaire to all countries in Asia and the Pacific and develop the aggregated midterm report from the responses.
At the fourth meeting of the Regional Steering Group in November 2018, members asked development partners to support preparations for the midterm review with a specific focus on facilitating and providing technical assistance for country assessments of CRVS systems. For this reason, ESCAP is organizing a workshop on 20 September 2019 to support selected countries in completing their CRVS self-assessment and their submission of midterm questionnaire.
