Abstract

This brief provides an overview of the findings from the final evaluation relating to the Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) in terms of gender equality, project outcomes, strategies, and potential for scalability and sustainability. The CoE has achieved a remarkable feat by becoming a credible leader at the intersection of gender and CRVS in the span of a few years. Women and girls are among those who gain the most from strong CRVS systems and institutions. Complete records and disaggregated data make women and girls visible for policy makers and national records. Yet cultural, financial, and legal conditions threaten their access to civil registration globally.
