The journey of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) in Africa has been marked by key milestones such as the establishment of the African Symposium on Statistical Development (ASSD) and the focus on CRVS at various ministerial meetings. These efforts aim to enhance data quality, support evidence-based policymaking, and contribute to Africa's vision of prosperity, good governance, and inclusive development by leveraging the potential of women and youth.
