Link to --> Midterm Report

As we had reached the midpoint of the CRVS Decade (2015-2024), countries submitted their midterm questionnaire responses to ESCAP and provided updates on country progress toward meeting their nationally-set targets. ESCAP sent the midterm questionnaires to National CRVS Focal Points responsible for collecting the necessary information and reporting back to ESCAP.

To help countries complete their questionnaires, ESCAP aggregated some of the most common or anticipated questions received and tried to answer the generic situations behind them in a Q&A document. If countries have any more questions about their reporting, they can also reach out to [email protected].

Similar to the baseline, regional synthesis report, ESCAP again aggregated the responses to the midterm questionnaires into a midterm, regional synthesis report and used it to generate a picture celebrating the CRVS achievements in the region, as well as highlighting existing challenges for the second half of the Decade.

The midterm report also informed and guided the preparations for the Second Ministerial Conference on CRVS in November 2021, where ministers were expected to renew political commitment to CRVS improvements, highlight the importance of CRVS systems as the foundation for legal identity, and showcase the critical role CRVS plays in supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The midterm questionnaire responses submitted were reviewed by ESCAP and other partners in collaboration with countries. All were uploaded on this page.

From all questionnaires, an earlier report for the Committee on Statistics on the progress towards achieving the goals of the Regional Action Framework was published in 2020.
