Abstract

This report considers civil registration throughout life, and includes evidence from interventions aimed at improving registration at multiple levels. Strategies include greater integration of birth registration within existing health services, such as immunization and the use of multimedia campaigns. Demand-side barriers are defined as those that influence demand, operating at individual, household, and community levels. Less than 50 percent of all births are registered in Africa (UNICEF 2019), and evidence suggests that disparities in registration in the region are linked to social inequalities. The scope and implications of under-registration are wide ranging.
