VITAL STATISTICS REPORT 2022

VITAL STATISTICS REPORT 2022

The report aims to provide a snapshot of the 2022 vital statistics extracted from the National Population Register. The primary purpose of the annual CRVS report is to contribute towards efforts aimed at strengthening the civil registration process to an extent that the level of completeness in both birth and death registration reaches at least 80%. In the current report, the completeness of birth registration increased from 31% in 2021 to 36% in 2022, whereas the completeness of death registration has decreased from 75% in 2021 to 55% in 2022. There is a need to strengthen birth and death completeness. CRVS systems are a powerful tool in making everyone visible through registration and
certification of their births, marriages, and deaths and has the potential to track populations that are left behind.
