Abstract
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for civil registration in Guinea-Bissau. Completeness of registration of vital events has not been estimated. At this time (2021), there is a plan to revise the Civil Registration Code financed by the Portuguese government through Portuguese cooperation and the United Nations System. National coordination mechanisms have been formalized. A technical working group provides a forum for CRVS systems stakeholders. There is a strategic plan for the Ministry of Justice, Directorate of Civil Identification, Registries and Notaries, for 2019-2028.
