Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS)

Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) is the official process of recording important life events such as births, deaths, marriages, and divorces. It ensures these events are documented accurately and publicly accessible, creating reliable data about a country's population. This system helps governments plan for public services, allocate resources, and develop policies. Proper CRVS implementation promotes legal recognition, rights, and access to services for individuals. Essentially, it establishes a trustworthy record of vital events that form the foundation for social, economic, and health planning within a society.
