Evidence review of the global childcare crisis and the road for post-covid-19 recovery and resilience : recovering from COVID-19 : the case for investing in childcare

Snapshot of civil registration and vital statistics systems of Côte d'Ivoire
Get PDFFrench version available in IDRC Digital LibraryIn Côte d’Ivoire, the National Office of Civil Status and Identification (ONECI) under the Ministry of Territorial Administration is responsible for civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS). A national coordination mechanism provides a forum for stakeholders in CRVS systems. Birth and death registration forms do not contain information for capturing vital statistics. This means the CRVS documents and vital statistics records are prepared separately. The National Institute of Statistics (INS) has the legal mandate to collect, compile, analyze, publish, disseminate, and coordinate the national statistics system. This policy brief provides a detailed breakdown of what data is captured and the functioning of the national statistics systems.Global Affairs Canad
