The study countries experienced similar reconciliation and state rebuilding processes despite differences in the duration, severity, and complexity of the conflicts. The context of their past conflicts has shaped their current civil registration and identification systems. All four countries make provisions for citizenship for people who would otherwise be stateless.application/pdfenPOST-CONFLICT SOCIETIESCITIZENSHIPCIVIL REGISTRATION AND VITAL STATISTICSCRVSVITAL STATISTICSDATA COLLECTIONBIRTH RECORDSLEGAL IDENTITYCAPACITY BUILDINGETHNIC GROUPSINSTITUTION BUILDINGHEALTH POLICYAFGHANISTANGEORGIARWANDASOUTH AFRICAREFUGEESGOVERNANCECIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTSGLOBALPolicy Brief
