The United Nations Statistics Division
(UNSD) defines civil registration as the continuous,
permanent, compulsory and universal recording of the
occurrence and characteristics of vital events pertaining to
the population, as provided through decree or regulation in
accordance with the legal requirements in each country.
Civil registration is the best source of vital statistics
since it constitutes the collection of statistics on vital
events in a lifetime of a person as well as relevant
characteristics of the events themselves and of the person
and persons concerned. A well-functioning Civil registration
and vital statistics (CRVS) system can significantly improve
governance at national and subnational levels and can
provide legal and protective advantages to individuals.
CRVS system also has statistical advantages over censuses
and sample surveys because it provides reliable
disaggregated data at any geographical or administrative
level, at a relatively low cost. To monitor and measure
progress, the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable
Development Goal Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) was tasked with
developing a global indicator framework. In addition to
directly measuring the development and improvement of CRVS,
data from complete and accurate CRVS systems can also
provide information used to monitor other targets and
indicators. CRVS systems in countries also play an important
role in effecting progress in other SDG targets and indicators. |
