Oliver Chinganya, Director of the African Centre for Statistics at the ECA, explains the importance of this meeting in “identifying priority strategic actions that will accelerate the progress of civil registration and vital statistics systems in Africa over the next eight years. Ensuring considerable progress in achieving 100% and 80% registration of births and deaths respectively as set by agenda by 2030.”
