In the 21st century, rights, services and protections will be increasingly difficult to obtain without a legal identity and the means to prove it. With the United Nations mandate to record every birth and death in the entire population, digitalized civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems must be at the foundation of tomorrow’s digital public infrastructure.
With one in four births and about 40% of deaths worldwide still unregistered, too many people remain invisible. Join us for our next VitalTalks ahead of the United Nations Summit of the Future to explore the urgent need for a rapid scale-up of digitalized CRVS systems.
