dc.description.abstractCRVS systems are essential services, providing critical mortality data and legal identity that underpin safety nets and public services. Developing measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the registration of vital events is critical. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), with the support of the Centre for Excellence for Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) systems, is using its convening role to provide technical assistance to African countries. The programme will reinforce digital tools that make it possible to notify and register vital events as they occur.en
