The Conference was held immediately afterward at the same venue from August 13–14, 2010. Both the Conference and the preparatory EGM were organized jointly by the UNECA – African Center for Statistics (ACS), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the African Union Commission (AUC) and were hosted by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Additional financial support was provided by the Health Metrics Network (HMN), with technical support extended by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). UNFPA, UNICEF, and UNHCR also collaborated in organizing this high-level meeting.
The objectives of the EGM derived from those of the Conference were to mobilize and rally political commitment and leadership of national governments, civil registration authorities, and National Statistical Offices (NSOs) toward the improvement of civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems in Africa for national development and monitoring of MDGs; and to address the need for enhanced regional commitment and partnership in the improvement of CRVS systems in Africa. The discussion was on the areas of Reform and Improvement:- Technical, Legal, Organizational, Operational, and Advocacy and Communication. | en |
