Abstract
National Identification and the Civil Registration Systems are linked through unique individual numbers. Sierra Leone is in the process of building an Integrated National Civil Registration System, whereby different databases would be linked through the National Identification Number issued by the National Civil Registration Authority (NCRA). Plans are on course to adopt the use of mobile and other appropriate technology to enhance notification and data transmission of vital events. Quarterly civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) Steering Committee meetings are recommended, with heads of agencies (both development partners and government line functionaries) in attendance.
